I had a great time and I can't wait to do this again. I wanted to say thanks to whoever was running around reading vacuum numbers. I called TownNorth Mazda today- I go in at 1pm tomorrow. Keep em crossed that I qualify for a new motor. I pulled all of my receipts for all service and starting around 22K I started complaining of loss of power and that weird rattling noise at higer RPM.

Upgrade if you like, but my suspension is stock sport with yellow (a sprayed dot on sway bars the stiifest stock). Yeah, my car leans, but it bites, and is almost so firm that I was afraid of skittering across those massive hwy bumps.

SWIM (I love this crap and in this case it really isn't me), put on S-Techs, and the fronts are the same measurements as me (14.25 inch), and the rears are 14.25 while mine are 13.66 so the Stechs actually raised them, and they're faster than me, but they have a manual, too.

I'm lookijng at the photos since the camera was up year ***, but I can't tell you're rolling, the suspension is supposed to give, and flop like a fish under you, while the cabin is calm and peaceful.
