    Edmonton Mazda Club has a new home!

    Hey Louie! Talk about reviving a dead thread - wow. Anyway to answer your question - the Edmonton Mazda Club has pretty much called it quits. We didn't ever get a decent enough turnout to support meets and stuff so after a few years of zooming along we decided to let it go. Hopefully you'll...

    K-Sport Coilover Install Pictures

    LMAO good god no. Unless every road you drive is smooth as silk - you're in for a rough-ass ride. They recommend these guys for track use only, and i honestly woudl have to agree.

    K-Sport Coilover Install Pictures

    Nothin.. Stock endlinks work with the newest generation of k-sports. Make sure you tighten the F**K out of the front endlink brackets though. Mine were a little loose and wound up twisting around and broke one of them.

    Edmonton Mazda Club has a new home!

    K-Sport Install Questions

    I have some questions for both the guys that have installed k-sports and k-sport themselves. We put mine on yesterday and they're so adjustable we weren't sure where to start. (instructions or stock specs would have been handy - at least as some place to start, you know?) First, a visual...

    K-Sport Coilovers

    Another shout for James (AODFAN) at altered motorsport! Shipped to Canada, even after customs I saved almost $400 from the cdn dealer price by going through James. Very fast too! Ordered on Feb 15th and they were in my hands Feb 24th.

    Gauging Interest for strut bars

    Well I've seen the rear strut bar in action and can vouch for the amazing difference it made on the autocross track. It's very apparent there's alot of flex in the rear of the stock protege5 that the bar helps get rid of. Very clean design too. Only two small holes in the panelling - looks...

    How to: Replacing A/C Control Panel LEDs

    Zap - did you need to use resistors to tone down the current at all? If anyone needs an insanely cheap hookup for LEDS - www.lsdiodes.com is great. I ordered from them when I was ricing out my Xbox - fast service - no problems and bar none the cheapest place I've seen for Blue LEDS. Looks...

    How To: Shaving Side Moldings.

    I used Goof Off and my safeway club card - worked like a charm. Took about 4 hours total. I did about a 10cm segment at a time. Squirt goofoff into the adhesive, give it a couple minutes to soak in, and then scrape away. Need a new safeway card now, but the results were well worth it! :)...

    Generic Turbo Question

    I know how turbos work - I've been semi-researching them for years now - what i didn't understand was what happens on long duration drives becuase i've never really found definitive information on that. Keith and you answered that question nicely - but 'letting me realize that exhaust pressure...

    Generic Turbo Question

    Thanks everyone for your answers.. I can sleep easy tonight not worrying that my turbo will explode driving down the highway. At first i was like WTF that doesn't make sense about not having boost while cruising. But after thinking about it - it makes complete sense. Thanks again! :)

    Generic Turbo Question

    Ok. I love the idea of going boosted. I've done tons of reading on this board, and elsewhere. I've started saving my pennies (total to date: $23.82 CDN) and am tempted to sell my comic collection to finance it... But I have a question. Obviously there's a simple answer, but so far I haven't...

    P5 PCM(ECU) flash questions

    As far as I know, P5 ecus are *NOT* flashable - hence all the people leaning towards piggy back addons..

    angled exhaust?

    <go go gadget flame suit> Not only that - it looks like complete ass. I don't buy that whole improving airflow line - looks more to me like someone bought ill fitting pipes and ghetto-rigged it on anyway. I prefer the dragging on the road style better.. you get the same broken look.. but also...

    Dyno Numbers

    Every dyno will produce different results. Ours were lower because of many factors regarding the mustang dyno that inertia and hydrolic dynos like the dynojet and dynapack can't account for. Thats why I chose to go there. I'd rather see lower numbers than overinflated/calculated numbers...
