I plan on going FI at the end of the year and don't want to start on an engine that could be on its way out. Im already on the pre-order list for BHR's coil kit and just purchased BHR's radiator. Thats why I was asking about the coil thing to see if it was going to be that time anyways.

Thanks
Your best bet it a Mazda dealer out here. If they cant fix it they will call Mazda and find a way to fix it. They are certified! When the "other guys" cant fix shat, they call and/or send your car to a Mazda dealer(s) lol

I just got back from Mazda on Centennial right now, Thats the best Mazda dealer in town IMO, They did the MSP16 recall on my babe. Car has more power now and get this, The car is out of warranty but they did it anyway also got a wheel alignment

That is why I said Geometry takes over if the obstruction is higher or the incline steeper that the suspension

Thanks TJ
I have no issues with the the Pettit unit and would go the same route if I were to do it again. If I were going turbo it would be a Greddy kit with a MM upgrade or "the devils hair dryer" from MM. I have nothing against Esmeril except that he only offers it with the interceptor X.

I am so happy that you are so knowledgeable about s/c and turbos.

I hope you never experience the bull SH^$ that I went thru with them. Mazda is ready to lift their franchise but do not have a viable replacement. Both dealers share the same owenership. I wish everyone good luck. Mike tells me that his bud is a good mechanic and I believe Mike but do know that the rest are just there collecting a paycheck. Me, I'll get the car to Phoenix, Signal Hill or wait for Ray. Be careful going in there with mods...... That two face on the write up desk will post your mods on the Mazda hot line so that you may have trouble with warranty later.

Ahh get some rest man. Wish I can call in but I'm like the only one working Sat 3pm-11pm that knows me job inside out, till I get my boy Jimbo up to speed on everything where he can work with out asking any questions. Hes doing hella good and takes the initiative more than I can say for the rest. I say 3 months and he'll be ok on his own.

oh and i have a question.

is getting springs and shocks the same as getting coilovers. as in...do coil overs replace your springs and shocks?
coilovers is the spring over the strut so it replaces both spring/shock as one item. one awsome benefit is they're adjustable

I got the flash when it first came out my car felt most powerful but it's only because they reset it. After a week or so it goes away. I think I will pull that ROOM fuse again zoomzoom.
