(bird) www.essentialspeed.com should redirect to www.essentialy-stoned-out-of-our-canadian-minds.can with prices like that. If the aftermarket world starts pricing like this, it will make buying my welder a much easier decision. No thanks, for that kind of money I'll pass.

Boost doesn't need to be worshipped, just comended on doing the right thing. Convey the message to someone who cares. Your local dealer cares about you , until you buy the car. After that, they could give a s***. By going to "Mazda Customer Service" something got done. If more people had...

Biggers Mazda in Elgin, IL has 6 new speeds in stock. 3 Titanium, 2 Silver and 1 Yellow. I bought mine from them in January and just had it reflashed yesterday and they have been very easy to deal with. Besides I think you can get $2000 off on them right now.

Had mine done yesterday at Biggers in Mazda in Elgin. John the service manager and Steve the lead tech are both cool. I even managed to get a speeding ticket after leaving there, as I was having so much fun driving my car the way it was meant to be. The peak power doesn't seem any more or...

Damn, what a bunch of ball-breakers. It's NOT unreasonable for a Stock speed to stay with a RX-8, let alone a tweaked one. Here's what Car and Driver said about the RX-8 "With the help of an 8000-rpm clutch drop and the engine buzzing like a flock of angry hornets, the RX-8 scooted to 60 mph...

It should have read " While rushing to Fed Ex to get everyone their stuff..." "We looped it because we were driving too fast for conditions..." "People who got burned, your wish has come true..." Great pictures though, mad props to the engineers who make the Protege so stiff. It works.

The 968 is a Poor Porsche. I kicked the crap out of one at an autocross driving my wife's Volvo V70 wagon. Damn funny pictures and results are here. http://www.wcmcforum.com/autox/autox01/schedule2001/test_n_tune.htm Sure, I CAN drive. And actualy did fairly well against the Miata's too...

Could have been me. I take Eola to Diehl going to work and return home the same way. I work in Naperville but live in St. Charles. We do need to get the Speeds together sometime in the area.

I'm in the 10:30 run group

Anyone car to explain to me how a 2.25" straight pipe, will spool faster or make power than a 2.25" straight through muffler like the car allready has? If you want your car louder I can see it, more power? Unlikely.

Gee, From what I saw on other dyno runs an open element K&N was HURTING power not helping it. That's on the dyno and not the psycological effects mods have on our feable little brains. The CAI does much more than just draw in cold air. It also gets a much more direct path to the turbo. Look...

If you hit fuelcut and stay in it, the MOST likely thing would be to hit fuelcut again. If MY car was on the dyno and hit fuel cut or any other weird thing the guy best be lifting his foot off the gas, or he's getting a size 13 up his. Can anyone explain the gaps in the lines? That is a...

Since everyone is questioning the 77 HP gains that someone else is seeing off some basic mods I figured I'd throw around some dyno sheets myself to show what's possible with a well fed MSP. This car was dyno'd before and after the mods, like it should be. The car was equipped with a bag of...
