MM enjoyed the vid--the best part to me was how long you could wait to hit the brakes in comparison to the car behind you!

Yeah, that was pretty consistent.
As much power as the car has, the brakes are still what makes it fast.

You never know.
It depends on the flexibility of the dealer and how well he goes back to stock.
Mazda is actually being pretty liberal at the moment with customers who are still in warranty.

I feel your pain, Louie. However, it probably would be best for you to edit that SIG a bit if you really want that kit to sell.

Maybe....but still it's started to get real annoying when I am going through what I am going through and then hearing ****. I have enough stress. Anywho the kit has sold and the accessories needed for the kit. Which is a little less stressful but if I don't get the new engine, its gonna go towards the rebuild and not my credit cards

Hell, if my engine blew up after looking so promising I'd be pissed at them too...

I've been pissed from MUCH less than a blown engine.

Ignore em. They're just jealous of what you accomplished.

Just keep your ear to the ground. Good stuff comes along. You just need to be diligent, detached and aware.

No. That won't happen again until I decide to see what it takes to get over 400 HP on pump gas.
I didn't blow the last one, either. I just took it out because I could! (I was also looking to clean up the engine bay a bit.)
At some point, I'll probably take this one out for analysis and put the other one back in.

Its just that this e-bay motor that GTAW posted is almost as good as a deal as the one I just put in!

Well, that is why I have a spare motor!
However, I think I can say with a fair amount of confidence that the AccessPORT has put an end to those kinds of worries.
