Most turbo applications break their rods and cranks from over boosting with out proper timing. A few people on here say their running 13psi on the stock internals. With the oil cooled pistons in the B6 motors, they're built for boosting, but I wouldn't go to far with out a build up on the internals,...

Yeah, that's the bypass. I haven't ever tried to run a ram air set up, but it can be pretty difficult. The cars that I've seen with a ram air set up from the factory usually have holes in the hood or bumper that are nearly 1/2 the width of the car, and the air from the entire hole is forced in to th...

A girl I knew in high school had the same problem with a Geo Metro... I told her she needed a clutch, and she said she would tell her dad. About 2 weeks later we were driving in her car and she tried to pull a hill.. with the worn out clutch. Car was over reving in fifth gear and dropped down to 20m...

Right now I'm still running a crappy a-- flex tube material (5 bucks at AutoZone, but wanted to give it a shot... don't do it...). I'm going to have an intake bent up at a muffler shop. Most people run the intake down, in front of the battery, and then down into the hole where your coolant overflow ...

If you don't believe me that's your business, but I'll be happy to get some proof From, prototype. I'm really not trying to hate. But I'm losing to cars that you say you can keep up with and/or beat, and your motor has less power and mods than my B6DE. I would like to see the proof. V-6 Mustang=190...

Your Awesome Euro Glass Headlamp Lenses

Hey, I'm from the US, and I was wondering if any of you guys from Europe could help me out. I'm trying to get ahold of the headlamp assemblys for the Euro Spec models, with the awesome glass lenses. I've searched extensively but no luck. Are there any companies that sell OEM parts for your cars onli...

Is there a reason you say the lenses would be no good? Maybe if I can get these headlight assemblies, I can just heat and remove the glass lenses and replace my stock assemblie's lenses. That would theoretically rectify the RH drive issue? I was just hoping there would be a company online that might...

Headlight lens question (No not cleaning it)

I searched and searched but to no real avail... got a lot of conflicting information. I've seen somewhere that a glass headlight lens exists for the MX-3, and if the limited info I found is right, it's on the Euro spec MX-3. Would any one know where I might be able to order a set of these, if they t...

NEVER EVER NEVER buy racing products from your dealership. MazdaSpeed included?? :? Yeah... that might be my own ignorance. I wasn't sure if MAZDASPEED came directly from a dealership or had to be ordered from a factory. I've tried to see about MAZDASPEED parts here where I live at the ONE FREAKING...
