Excellent results! You can buy PC 2100 memory, a knowledgeable store will understand what you're asking for. You now have 256Mb, which is barely enough to run WinXP, so I would recommend getting 1Gb (512Mb at the very minimum. Your system can take up to 2Gb of RAM total, so you could get that much i...

since the other readings seem to be correct, I'd take the parts back to the store and show them what's wrong. I'm sure they have a multimeter to check them out there also, which will either verify or correct your readings, and if they are bad, you can replace them right away.

I would check it with a thermometer to see what the temp actually stabilizes at, although most likely it's not much more than the thermostat is rated at. That will reduce your concern about your car overheating all the time. Then, if the BP sending unit is using a different voltage range than your g...

Next is redoing the exhaust, but then you're talking a couple hundred bucks, or more, if you do it right. An engine swap will get you the most HP, and as stated before, it can ...

Re: Hi and thanks!!!

... just wait until you do a motor swap! mazda power FTW! LOL, so I've heard! But with the way I drive with the stock motor, I'm scared of all the tickets I'll get if I do a swap. I rode in a friend's Suby that has the same power to weight ratio that my MX-3 would have if I did a swap/turbo, and th...
