In this thread... post pictures or examples of things you've recently come across that reminded you of a younger, perhaps more innocent time of your life. I'll start. After visiting my dad for Father's Day, he told me he had a couple boxes of stuff that he'd found from when I used to...

As some of you may know, since switching to an air-water IC setup, I've been tending to push a bit lean at high rpms (>5000). The obvious choice to correct this is to purchase a tuning solution. Most likely, that would be a SplitSecond AFC (~$400). However, I'm inclined to purchase an...

I've got 14 sheets of 1/2" drywall that have been leaning against the wall in my garage since I moved in, but I'm fairly certain I won't be using them anytime soon. The bottom 6" or so of some of the sheets look like they are a bit messed up from water and whatnot, but they are mostly in good...

Happy Birthday! Hope it's a good one! And by good one, I mean: :tequilla2:

Here's the place to post pics, vids, and stories from the 2009 spring dyno day. I'm uploading pics and vids as I type :) My pulls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYxkKyAUBlQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wREwe6YEYRM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JVelOMCn5Y James' Pulls...

Two part question: 1) Can anyone suggest a brand/type of tuner style lugnuts that won't become chipped and scratched all to hell after 2 rotations, and don't cost >$100 for a set? 2) How ghey would blue anodized lug nuts look on my car? lol pic for reference...

I have a set of custom hardpipes I built for my MSP to fit the stock SMIC. The only bit designed for a non-oem fit is the BPV nipple... I was running a BoostSciences RDV and Injen intake, so I went with a 1" OD nipple in nearly the same position as the stock plastic pipe. I think the pipes are...

Teaser pic :D (This is the 600hp kit from www.frozenboost.com, with the type 8 IC core, type 118 radiator and install kit) ***Update 4/14/09 - Initial install*** So far this week, I've got a good chunk of the fitting and routing done. Here are some pics of the progress so far...

I posted this on mazdas247 a few minutes ago.... After cleaning and replacing my air filter today, I fired up the car and poked my head around under the hood for a few seconds (a habit after I once left the MAFS unplugged, and found that my car ran like ass the next morning). I noticed that...

A little background: in order to fit the IC core for the water-air IC setup I'm planning, I decided to relocate the battery to the trunk. After a little bit of planning and putzing around, I finished the project up last night. Here's a material list and a basic walkthrough... Parts/Materials...

.... or at least be sure to read this thread before you do. Screw it. They're not a sponsor of our site, and at least 2 of our active members have had bad experiences with the company. I'll let them fill in the details, but here are the outlines: -DrWebster purchased an ExPower HID kit from...

As you've all probably figured out by now, I'm horrible at deciding on appearance mods for myself. Well, here's another opportunity for everyone to tell me what to do. Right now, I've got an OEM style carbon fiber hood. I recently acquired a carbon fiber grille that needs a little bit of TLC...

Figured I'd post this up on a local forum first... but I'm thinking I might want to trade my tinted tail lights for someone's stock tail lights. These were painted semi-professionally and are smoked paint with clearcoat, done this past summer. The work is not 100% perfect, and you can pick out...

In the past I've always used Tax Cut, and been perfectly happy with the software, but I wanted to get some other opinions. Specifically, I've been considering just using TaxACT, since their online federal filing is free and includes e-filing. I'm not too worried about state filing, since that...

Nope, not the hood! lol I bought a CF grill for fairly cheap, and as I expected for the price, it has a few blemishes. Does anyone know any tricks of the trade for touching up CF imperfections such as chipped or cracked clearcoat? The only "trick" I'm aware of is using some black sharpie lol

So, I've pretty much set my mind on rigging up a water-air intercooler setup for my mazdaspeed protege sometime this spring. I've come to grips with the fact that it's never going to be "fast" so I might as well try something different--I only know of 1 or 2 MSP's with a water-air setup...
