As far as saving gas......the intake you posted seems kind of.....well.....shady. Not something I would even think about putting in my car. Great, thrilling, exciting driving experience I can deal with in trade of sucky gas mileage
Meet should be within the next week or two. Happy holidays and happy new year!

jimmy, if your motor is shot... if your engine is still under warranty Id take it to Mazda. Chance you will get a new one
As far as my heat goes, husband and I are ripping dash out tomorrow to try to fix that issue.

Help!!
Josh i know your pretty knowledgeable on the 8s. Bout 2 weeks ago i found milky white oil. No problem it was said to be condensation.
Now i just got back from domino's and i stopped at the stop light on Gulick by the road to the shoppette, and it died. I got back to the barracks and my car did the signature soft pop that the rotarys do. Now it dropped to 500 rpms and i pushed the accelerator and brought it up to 2000. It did the pop again and dropped to just under 1500rpm.
WTF!!! Help me please

I'm not gonna preach, some of you might have seen the article.... but i was looking for high performance spark plug wires for my 8. And instead i found this somewhat educational thing for the basic fuel saving tips. 90% of the more uppity 8 owners know. but for the new guys... this is for you

K so i got my car fixed!!!! yea!!!!!
Turns out that my intake tube worked it way outta my filter tube, hence i was pulling to much air giving my air/fuel ratio really bad. Changed my spark plugs before that was found and they were corroded beyond hell. so new plugs and idle issue fixed, i running fast
