Took it out to work with me and after that, a good drive.

The mazdaspeed flywheel makes it feel quite a bit lighter overall. Really felt the difference today and love it even more now.

Are you talking about un sprung torq?.

How much weight did you drop on that fly wheel change?.

Drove it to the local grocery store. When I returned to my car I noticed a scratch on the rear bumper right side. It looks like someone took a pocket knife and made it because it didn't just scratch the paint...they actually carved into the bumper in the shape of a backwards "L". It's small but noticeable to me easily since I know exactly where it is.

Too bad you can't view the parking lot cameras and id the idiot. Personally I would rather put his teeth on the curb and stomp the back of the persons head so that they need a new dental plan.

Good news!
I was wondering if you did. Did you pull the fuse? Let us know, maybe your experience will help someone else.
Edit:.oops, didn't see your previous post. Nevermind.

I think I will just live with the scratch there for now, I am trying to use some touch up black paint to hide it a bit more since it is pretty small anyway. At least it was just the bumper they did it to and not a door or the hood. Still bummed out how someone could take the time to even do that for whatever reason...

Bought a digital oil temp gauge by Auto Meter 0 to 400 degrees F. This may solve my situation not knowing the true oil temp at all times. This should work just fine: Cost was $110.00 . summit racing. It comes complete. Sending unit ,gauge and wringing harness. Maybe I can take pics of it after install.
