    Hey folks, Haven't been too active on the forums in a long time. The MSP developed rod knock a while back and it's just been sitting around collecting dust as I've not felt like dealing with it. I already have a replacement car, and I'm set on getting rid of the protege, I'm just looking for...

    Anyone wrapped or shielded the steedspeed manifold?

    Hey I've got the steedspeed stock replacement exhaust manifold, and I'm trying to get my under-hood temps down a bit. I've been considering trying to build a custom heatshield to cover it up, and keep it from radiating so much heat to everything around it. I've also considered using thermal...

    Turbo exhaust gaskets

    Can anyone tell me if there is a place to get reasonably priced gaskets for my turbine inlet and turbine outlet. My local Mazda dealer wants 20 and 37 dollars for them respetively. That seems outrageously overpriced to me. Aren't these pretty much standard T25 gaskets? Any recommendations on...

    Need help with strut orientation

    Can someone tell me which way the paint dot on the struts is supposed to point for a stock vehicle? My struts were dropped down and I'm pretty sure they were put back in the wrong orientation.

    Help removing transmission

    ATTN: Detroit area peeps

    I thought I would post in this section to see if anyone is interested in providing their car for testing. This man is looking for mazdas to develop a new tuning chip for our cars. This is a great opportunity to add another tuning option to the mazda lineup. It would be a shame to see it fade...

    Some random questions

    About how much does an FC weigh? Does anyone have a dyno of a stock NA 13B? Is the torque curve basically flat? How difficult would it be to build it to ~200hp NA and how reliable could it be?

    What is "Loud"?

    I've noticed on many different sound setups, there is often a toggle for "Loud". I'm pretty sure this doesn't simply boost the volume, but I might be wrong. Does anyone know specifically how the sound is modified when "Loud" is activated?

    Poll: Catback advice

    Alright everyone, I can't decide what the hell to do with my car. I currently have a GHL downpipe(3") which narrows to 2.5" at the flange that conects to my stock catback. I have a feeling the stock catback is holding back my top-end somewhat, but honestly I don't how much difference it...

    A new type of internal combustion engine

    Check out this new engine design. The REVETEC Engine design consists of two counter-rotating trilobate (three lobed) cams geared together, so both cams contribute to forward motion. Two bearings run along the profile of both cams (four bearings in all) and stay in contact with the cams at all...

    Looking for a tool

    Anyone know where I would find a Torx driver for security or "tamper proof" screws. They are the ones with the post in the middle to prevent normal torx drivers from fitting. Pretty sure I could order one online, but could these be found at any kind of local hardware store or something? I'd...

    Fuel Cut question

    Ok, so from what I understand, fuel cut happens when the ECU sees too high a voltage coming from the MAF. Like whenever it is over 5v or some such voltage. And putting a fuel cut defender on you car intercepts the voltage from MAF to ECU and puts an upper limit on that voltage? So, if I have...
