I with you there. Even if it doesn't help you fall asleep...

I had a huge problem with sleeping when I was in school and tried all sorts of things from shots of Jack (which works well, but I would get hot) to Unisom (works great, but Diphenhydramine has hallucinogenic properties and I would get some very vivid dreams that woke me up and you build up a...

I thought the LGT was a 2.5l engine, not a 2.0?

I'd love to see the PO on that one, supposedly Mazda's not paying out on S-Plans for that car.

If you have the luxury of using a CU then that's your best bet. Otherwise get a quote from lendingtree eloan and take it to the dealer and give them the chance to beat the rate. Most dealers get their loans wholesale and will give you a much better rate if you finance through them then if you...

There's no rebates on the car and Mazda isn't even giving a break to most dealer employees that want a car for themselves, otherwise I'd be all over it. Depending on the market you're in, some dealers are still getting more than MSRP. If you want a good deal, run an Edmunds on the car, search...

I know, it's still a nice, quick four door though that would give a lot of cars a run for the money. lol It makes the MSP's diff look like a quaife... Anyway, the gearing helped with the SHO's top end. I had no trouble pulling on my MSP at 10 psi from a roll, or my dad's old Mustang GT Bullitt.

No, but they do have the Falcon which trumps the 500. Being a former SHOwner, I'd be all over this. *just wanted to make a small note to the write-up... the SHOs were available with an automatic from 1993 on and when they went to the V8 motor in 96 only automatics were available. And not that...

Maybe the new EGR burned a hole in the coolant lines? I know they run close together...

Not sure what truth there is to this, but it's my understanding that those DISI MZRs cut boost way down when anything less than 91 octane is run, and 99% of dealers fill their cars up with regular, so it wouldn't surprise if the one you test drove wasn't quite up to its potential.

Negotiate the price first, then, when you've nailed a good price, mention that you'd like to lease. The cap cost should reflect the negotiated price. There's a million ways people can lead you on when you're shopiing leases. The main thing they'll get you on is the cash down. One dealer...

I know somewhere else they can fit three people...

Going by process of elmination, I disconnected the solenoid for the boost controller and that's where a tiny leak would cause the boost spike. Time for a different set-up.

hmmm bump for some more input since my wastegate seems to be holding okay.... Maybe tomorrow I'll take the MBC off and see if it still spikes badly.
