I don't understand why you raised the fuel pressure. With the stock regulator at about 45 PSI, the car runs way too rich. Most people have to LOWER the fuel pressure from stock to get better horsepower.

You want to stop the rubbing, but you're asking about 225 width tires or 60 aspect tires? I'd find the solution to the rubbing with stock tires, then get 205/55/15 Ziex tires. Where is it rubbing? Front or back? If it's front, you can get a half degree of camber back by rotating the top mounts 180 d...

what about those "organic" pads Organic pads brake better than ceramic and metallic pads, but they fade under repeated use and dust up ALOT. I've got cheap organics on my wife's car and it brakes so good, it's like you hit a brick wall you stop so suddenly. Brake dust isn't an issue since...

Get neither. Get carbon pads. They'll stop the best. If brake dust is an issue, then there are some carbon-ceramic blend pads as well.

I really don't think anyone runs airbags on the MX3. I believe some Escort owners do, and that'd be the airbag system you'd be buying to go on the MX3, so maybe you should ask on the Escort or Protege forums.

I hated the ultrasound stage. My wife was pissed at me for a week because I couldn't make out the baby on the ultrasound pics. Looked like a large intestine to me. :shrug:

The new Battlestar sucks. It's like a Sci Fi version of a daytime soap. Save the drama for your mama. The old Battlestar plots ruled compared to the new ones.

if its not streched thin then explain why they are complaining they dont have enough new recruits and they need to keep sending back the same people to do 3 or 4 tours of duty or extending the tours of the current people there. Simple answer, they don't have enough people to rotate. If we had 4 tim...
