Hello all! My name is James and on 12/12/2014 I sold my 2008 Mazdaspeed3 with 131,000 miles, leaving the Mazda family. The very next day, 12/13/2014 I purchased a new 2015 Subaru WRX Base. I was intrigued with the re-designed exterior and FA20 Turbo engine. The interior is also heads above...
There are a few things I'm looking for that I would like to pick up used on the cheap. I don't mean to lowball, but my general rule of thumb is to only pay 60% of retail for used parts.
I am looking for a testpipe to mate to OEM 65mm exhaust (preferably Corksport) that I can buy for around $80...

This past weekend I had an opportunity to put my car on a Dyno for the first time. It was a dynojet used outdoors in supreme weather conditions. Here is a list of my performance mods, although I understand some things listed may/may not affect dyno performance.

Hey all,
Seeing as how I will be replacing my OEM struts and springs within the next two weeks, I decided to try and compile a spreadsheet of information with regards to various aftermarket coilover and strut/spring combo setups. My biggest issue is a lack of knowledge regarding suspension...

I bought my OZ Ultraleggeras off a Subaru forum with these tires already mounted to the wheels. Two of the tires are in great shape, as can be seen in the pictures below. The other two tires suffer from bad wear on the inside track. I am going to need all four fresh rubber for this...
Hey all! My name is James and I drive a 2008 Mazdaspeed3 Sport, Black Mica, with 130,000 miles on the clock as of 10/27/2014. My goal for this car holds high expectations, but should not be ridiculous to achieve. Though funding is always an issue, I expect it to take a few years to complete...

So, I've read a couple how-to's and everything on the catch can. Everyone seems to like to put the can in the passenger side foglight area and run the hoses near the belt to the pcv line.
I am thinking of mounting the can in the driver side foglight area and running hose up to the pcv line. I...

So, I might be picking up new rims from a guy who drives a Mitsubishi. He is selling the OEM Mitsubishi TPMS with the rims---if I do purchase, and have the sensors anyways, will they work on my car? Thanks!
Up for sale are a few miscellaneous guitar effects pedals and other accessories I no longer use when I play. Everything is in perfect working condition-none of the equipment ever saw stage use or anything like that, just home playing and messing around.
