    more than meets the eye...

    Everyone with the rear sway bar clunk- I've been living with the clunk for awhile now, sort of waiting until Mazda came up with a good fix for it... but a few weeks back the clunk changed into a banging noise that was fairly severe sounding. Put the car on a rack at my work and found a...

    Poll: Has your stero been stolen?

    I wonder what percentage has had their stereos stolen. I bet the percentage of MP3's with stolen stereos is higher than the national average.

    Injen CAI

    Injen has had their dyno on the MP3 down for awhile now. Isn't someone on here their test car? What's happening with that? Are they going to retest it? I know there was some doubt as to whether the CAI could really produce 8whp... anybody know if they are retesting?

    Realistic power gains?

    The lure of having more power is becoming overwhelming... all I wanted was a sporty commuter, but it's just not enough anymore. I don't want to go the turbo route though, so with an Injen CAI (claimed 6whp), custom exhaust, and intake/exhaust cams, is it realistic to expect a 15whp gain...

    $1,000 power project?

    Okay guys, I've got roughly $1,000 to spend on performance upgrades. What's a good combo to get 155-160hp from this engine? Prefer to go the normallly aspired route. Suggestions?

    cheap power combination

    So I've seen various people add components to their cars and get moderate improvement. One guy got 5-6 WHP from a low flow muffler, others get 4-5 hp from a CAI... So combine 5 for the muffler, 5 for the CAI, and maybe 5 for the lighter mazdaspeed clutch and flywheel combo, and the WHP goes...
