    Boost Fluctuation under WOT

    Just recently I have felt my cars boost fluctuating under WOT and was able to capture a log of what has been going on. I haven't made any changes besides resetting the ECU (battery disconnect) when changing out the battery. I'm not sure what's going on and I have done some research and it seems...

    *BRAND NEW* Mazdaspeed Connecting Rods

    I'm selling all 4 brand new connecting rods from a 2.3 Disi Motor. I literally ordered the blocked and when it arrived took the rods out and put aftermarket ones in.

    Bent Rods & Cracked Block :(

    Just wanted to let everyone out there know what happened to mine. The mechanic said the rod and block had to be messed up for some time since I've heard the "ticking" noise for a few thousand miles. They found this when the clutch went out and they replaced it and and it was still making noise...

    Time for a new clutch.... again....

    My clutch was slipping for a few hundred miles (not severely) but I didn't think it would go as fast as it did. I was downshifting from 6th to 4th @ 60 MPH and all of a sudden I heard a pop and then grinding. Now, when the car idles it sounds like a metal on metal sound. I can still shift and...

    Flat Tire but still decent tread

    I got a nail in the sidewall and I have to replace it since it's so bad (Fix a flat didn't work and it goes flat in about 12 hours). I still have 5/32 or a smidge more of tread left on all the tires. I found a used tire that has 7/32 tread on it, yes it's the EXACT same tire I have. Yay Ebay...

    Squeaking when backing up

    So I just noticed recently that my car makes this horrid but not so loud squeaking/squealing when I back up. I still have the factory rotors/brakes on and they are at 45k miles. They don't seem to be rubbing any other time and there are not groves in the rotor. Does anyone have any ideas on what...

    Stage1+ Vs. Stage2+ Losing PSI in Stage 2+

    I noticed today my car was only holding 16-17PSI with a Stage 2+ MSCAI Map. So I did a test run from 2nd gear through 5th Gear to see what was going on. Sure enough, it was only holding 16-17 PSI and sometimes 18. Well, I came home, loaded a Stage 1+ MSCAI Map and reset the ECU and had to drive...

    Got my Springs yesterday and I was talking to my buddies and they have all installed their own springs (Honda Civic, 300ZX, 3000GT VR4).
