Hey all, Just moved here (Fuquay-Varina) from Florida, and I'm planning a rebuild of my engine, FS-DE, before I hand it off my MP3 to my nephew. I'm tenatively planning to do this next summer (2008). I was wondering if there is anyone locally in the Raleigh -Durham area that has taken on a...

132mph drafting my buddy in his Ford Focus SVT (confirmed with GPS). Drag on the Protege is what kills the top end speed... I don't think speeds much higher than this are attainable.

It can be, if it's been converted to US safety specs and had a VIN # applied for. You'll have to contact the dealer for that. Be weary of it though, there are shady ways of getting JSPEC cars legalized that can end up biting you in the ass later on.

As opposed to a FAKE Skyline? It's real man. No such conversions or kits.

Sounds like it automatically goes into shuffle mode, but you ave the ability to skip tracks if you want to.

Karma? I was just reading this thread yesterday, and thinking how certain I was that this would be happening to me soon enough, and today, I get a call from my wife saying "There's this awful squealing noise coming from the car". :'( I was already expecting the worse, so I told her to baby it...

That's what I thought, but they wanted those options. They wanted leather and navi. Navi is only available on the GT. They also understood that they would have to get the moonroof and Bose sytem to get the navi. It's what they wanted. I feel pretty confident that I made a good deal for them. I...

Damn!? (boom08) Don't quite know how to take that, so I'll just leave at the fact that even though they are pushing 70, they are very active, enjoy going on road trips, and don't want to drive a boat of a car... they appreciate the sportiness of the 3. You trying to say that at 65 you'll be...

Age factor a problem. Yeah I would have too, but it's for my parents, my somewhat older parents (pushing 70)... so the speed was out of the question. I did get a chance to test drive the CX-9 while there. Pretty sweet, and probably my next acquisition. I just haven't been able to figure out...

So my parents were in the market for a new car, and they were looking to trade up on their 2004 Pontiac Vibe for a 2007 model. Being the devote "Mazda Guy" of the family, I suggested they took a look and test drive of the 3 hatch. It was a good suggestion as they decided it was a better car...

The fact that I modded the drivetrain; upgraded clutch, lightweight flywheel, and added LSD. It's gonna be tough competition, but my car is unreal now. This was my first auto-x in a year, and the first since the tranny mods. I literaly was out of breath after my first run because it was pretty...

My last event in STS Found out I'll be running in FSP next year.

Just installed the non-foulers today, and hoping to keep the CEL light out. Have only driven 25 miles since, so we'll see what happens. Will keep updated.
