Wait, whats wrong with your CAT? Couldn't you just take it to Mazda and have them do it? There is an 8 year emissions warranty (federally enforced) so you should at least ask if they'll clean or replace it.
That's the problem with CATs -- they can clog. Which is why you want a mid-pipe
Do you have your AP installed? I thought the tune got rid of the rich stench...

There was a heated debate (pun) on the radio. Some people were freaking out because they thought there was a problem , other people were like "no, it's a rotary, it does that."
The flames were quite intense. It looked like one of those weed burning torches on low with an occassional puff of orange flames 6" out the tail pipes

Anyone up for getting covered in ticks and beating up on some older cars this weekend?
There're 2 Chuckanut events this weekend, back to back in Blaine, WA. It's about 90min North of Seattle, $40 for the event (always 6 runs) and $24 for the membership. We've got the drive (with no one taking charge of details yet...) on Saturday but if that falls through, I may do the Saturday event but I could definitely see doing the Sunday event either way.
As much as I've complained about their last event I went to... I kind of want to go again. It's a much less serious and competitive atmosphere, the cars are in general older (and thus our ABS is basically like cheating) and the courses are very, very different from what we get at Bremerton.

I was at 50 miles when I got home and just over the halfway mark. Totally worth it though, I wish all autox events were like that. I stopped counting runs...
Also, driving Chris' car was a real experience. I want to start dumping money into my suspension like yesterday...

Did I mention I put it completely sideways at like 50mph?
Fun times though. The plastic bag smell was completely gone by the time I got home too. Steel wool + a lighter got most of it off on Sunday, then getting my car way overheated did the rest
Speaking of overheating, holy crap @ that 13b powered go-kart! 1030lbs, NA 13b, and wood dash = pure win... and he's moving it onto a Renesis + LSD off a Miata... hopefully next time we see that thing it'll spin less and put down some good times.
