Man, I remember when I use to have my 8, I premixed like there's no tomorrow, lol.

I always wanted a SOMP setup so that I can directly feed two stroke into the motor.

Describe this rough idle... besides the fact that it's rough. At this point, I can only diagnose one thing... it's your exhaust bearings.

Seriously though, what else is happening?

i dont premix but i think im gonna buy some MMO today and put it in.

but i doubt its that. my idle isnt consistent. after stopping from a spirited drive my rpm goes to about 900 which is the normal idle point but then itll drop like 2-300 rpms and the car vibrates and shakes then it kicks back up. its wierd. i was thinkin fuel pump is going or its just mazdas shitty fuel trims but im just a noob lol

Do you have an intake or anything?

We had the same problem with dozer's car, we fabricated a fresh air duct similar to the Racing Beat one, it turned out that it was screwing around with his MAF.

Did you put the screens into the intake when you installed it? I would pull apart the intake to see if there is oil on the screens.

wow $1000?!?!

thats alot. over here if theres a FTA then it instantly turns into a bench warrant.
and your license is suspended.

one time i got an FTA and i got stopped for some reason and they saw the bench warrant and my license suspension and they took me to central bookings spent the night there.

sucks about the mods too.

hope you sort it out quick without problems.

theyre allowed to pull you over for no front plate???

over here having no front plate is a second offense. so they cant pull you over with that being the main reason.

and yeah you should be careful with watching or even having your screen on.
