    Howto: Rear Pad (disc) Replacement

    I've read through all of the posts regarding the rear pads, but I still had a question. I have an MSP and I know that the rear piston will need to be screwed clockwise to retract the piston. My question is, do you have to screw the piston on tight until it touches the rotor, and unscrew the...

    AWR side mount insert How To...

    Great write up carbonkid, thanks! I have the front & rear AWR motor mounts (70 durometer) installed right now. The vibration is very noticeable but bareable. Glad to hear that the side inserts will lessen the vibration, so I think after getting the side inserts everything should be good. I...

    rear valance is melting!

    Same question. I just installed the CS exhaust (turbo back). Which hangers are you guys bending? Can anyone take a pic? How easy is it to "bend" them? Overall I like the CS exhaust, increased my stock boost from ~6.6 psi to ~8.3 psi. It's a little loud for my liking. I might slap on the...

    Really?!? Nice, I might have to pick up a pair now. Why has every picture I've seen of these lights blue? Everyone likes them this way? Thanks for the quick response.

    Which Pilot lights are you referring to? NV-602W http://www.pilotautomotive.com/pilot2ef.htm or... PL-362W http://www.pilotautomotive.com/pilot2as2.htm They both look like Indigo tinted lenses to me. If the lense is clear and only the bulb is blue, that would be great! I haven't installed...

    Best spark plugs for stock msp?

    I'm new to this car stuff and was looking into spark plugs also. I was wondering if it is a big deal to replace our extended reach plugs with non-extended reach plugs. Are there advantages and disadvantages? I'm assuming it would probably be safest to replace the extended reach plugs with...

    Vehicle Buy Back Notification

    Just to make things clear. I'm not a dumma$$. I saw the letter and thought it would be a great opportunity to go test drive the RX-8. If they were going to offer me an RX-8 for a great deal (let's say no additional cost at all), then most of you guys would probably jump on it. If they did...

    Vehicle Buy Back Notification

    The only car I would even consider getting over the MSP is the RX-8. I'm not too fond of the MSM. So if I can get the RX-8 for super cheap, I'd go for it. If not then too bad. I'm just curious what kind of offer they'd give.

    Vehicle Buy Back Notification

    Did anyone else get this snail mail from Oak Tree Mazda? I might go just to see what they'd pay me for my MSP. I have an Injen and a TT, I wonder if that's going to affect anything. Maybe I'll just go to test drive the RX-8 and see what kind of offers they'd give. Here's some of the...
