    Cheap, Light Wheels (Mugen)

    I ran miata wheels on my CRX for a number of years. Actually, three different sets. The miata wheel was 54.1mm...the CRX was 56.1mm. So I was in the same boat and had to have them machined. A local machine shop charged $10 - 12 per wheel. For the second and third sets I bumped them up to...

    Bodyshops in Round Rock

    Not Round Rock, but North Austin..."Jeff's" on North Lamar. He ain't cheap, but if it's an insurance claim, that's not so much a concern. Over the space of two years, my family sent three accidents his way. Two of them pretty major. Did awesome work. Beautiful fade job on my CRX in silver...

    FS: multiple decks - 6 disc and MP3; also ipod integration unit

    Yes, the MP3 part worked fine in my early 08 S Sport. However, the SAT button and the trip computer did not work. My rationale was...a single MP3 disc (150 songs) is better than 6 regular audio discs (17 songs x 6 = 102 songs)

    FS: multiple decks - 6 disc and MP3; also ipod integration unit

    Yeah, ha ha. Explanation: I bought the 07 single disc on Ebay for the faceplate so I could get the trip computer to work in my '08. The '08 6 disc is out of my own car. I bought the pair of 08.5's because I wanted the MP3 capability. The first one was supposed to be a 6 disc MP3 player, but...

    Speed springs and rear camber kit? HELP!

    Your experiences= opinion for me (exhaust and intake)

    For intake temperatures, cooler is better and it's been dyno proven a bajillion times. CAI are perfectly safe with a bypass valve. Even driving through a fish tank: http://www.modified.com/tech/0104scc_aem_air_bypass_valve/index.html If you still want to use a short intake setup, take the...
