E-licious and I both need our fenders rolled. In order to offset the cost, we were going to share a rental, but I figured I might as well open this up to anyone else who'd be interested.
I haven't picked out a rental place for sure yet, but it looks like there are a few places that can get us...
I bought this part from boomergt (Tom) a couple weeks back and finally got it installed yesterday with a bunch of help from DrWebster (Colin). All I can say with regards to the install is "thank god Morries didn't torque the hell out of the turbo-downpipe nuts, or else I'd probably be in the...
Date? Check! (August 8-10)
Campground? Check! (http://www.camppla-mor.com/)
This one in on the Mississippi River near Winona. There would be room for at least six tents. There is water and limited power available at the shelter. The cost is $25 per tent and covers 2 adults. Additional people...
So, it's pretty common knowledge that the MSP runs pretty hot, partly due to the fact that the radiator is a bit undersized in order to accomodate for the SMIC.
One thing I was considering to help account for that is running a much lower mixture of coolant/water during the summer (in addition...
I guess buying that mono version was good for something.... woot!

Lets you compare different tire and wheels sizes including offset, showing detailed dimensions and showing the effect on clearances, etc. Great tool!
Screw this belt-driven BS. To hell with scavenging exhaust gas to drive a turbo. Spool that shit to they sky with rocket fuel and call it a day.

Anyone here listen to audio books?
I'm looking for a good site where I can download mp3 copies to burn to CD. I'd be fine paying a few bucks per download, but it seems like every site I come across wants to use some DRM-protected BS.
Maybe I'll just have to end up hitting the library and...
Kind of a spin-off of the networking thread, but for more general Q/A concerning computer hardware and software.
I'll start: I think our laptop's HD crapped out after it took a header off the coffee table a few nights ago. In short, it gets about 90% of the way through the windows boot...
I posted up a thread at mazdas247.com with the details, but I'm looking to either sell my SU front motor mount or trade it for a stock or different brand. I'd be looking for $50 locally.
Here's a link to the mazdas247 thread:

Post up your favorite TV series, and maybe a bit about why you liked them
I just finished watching Deadwood a while ago, and I'm almost through the last couple episodes of Rome. I can't vouch too much for the historical accuracy of either, but they are both great shows that really drew me...
Once I get these finished, I'll post a how-to, but for now this thread can be a discussion on the project.
So I decided to mock up the piping in 2" PVC pipe before I tried to figure out how to put it together for real. All said and done, it cost me under 10 bucks in materials at Menards...
I thought this was kinda cool:

Basically, a bunch of people in NYC's grand central station freeze in place simultaneously for 5 minutes. The video and photo animations are pretty interesting. This is the same group that sent a...
I'm not sure yet exactly what the point of this is.... but come on and visit MNmazda-land! Apparently each visitor will make it better, so visit often and maybe something cool will happen.... or maybe not, I don't know.
