NE NJ local meets on Tuesday nights
hm..
looks like i'm gonna be taking the car to weisleder mazda. my boss has a good friend over there, and he said he would make sure they hook me up. It helps they're an hour closer than wayne, as well. If they can't fix it, I'll take it up to wayne.

Oh and completely off topic but I'm looking for some feedback on a web site I am building... What do you guys think of this?

nope.. probably just coils, but the car is definitely down on power. It's still very driveable, but my butt dyno and the dynojet say it's down about 30 hp. I wouldn't care that much, except for the type of driving that I do, I really need it running well. Hopefully its not compression, since i have an autox on sat, and another next sat. bringing the car in tomorrow morning. keep your fingers crossed!
honestly, here's the thing.. I didn't start autocrossing until this year, and I'm pretty sure that the problem has been getting consistently worse since I got the car, and was probably there when I bought it. I went from a 93 taurus with a weak motor to this, so even the 8 with a f*'ed up set of coils feels like a rocketship compared to that. I started autocrossing, and noticed I could never keep up with the other 8 guys that were there, even the ones that were just starting out, like me.
I don't want to blame it all on power, but there's obviously something lacking. I first really noticed it when I test drove the new 8, with the new final drive ratio. I couldn't believe how much faster it was than my car, and I didn't even push it that hard...
