The Eagle has landed! I guess I am late to the party. Sorry, still dealing with "stuff", including a friend who passed away yesterday. And perhaps I should have known but this chemo shit takes a lot longer to recover from than I would have thought/hoped/wished.

He did say he bought it with it so he probably doesn't know. But my money is on one of two places, either eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115511511219 or else Amazon item B0BZ3XG99S [can't figure out how to make the link work it gets replaced with MEDIA tag shit that doesn't appear for me at...

Love that vehicle. Wifey wants one since watching Doug DeMuro's review, and we also saw one in the wild a time or two. I don't like the new wheels overall. The faux hammer-actuated center lug is actually cool, but don't like the rest. But that's just, like, my opinion man. Oh, and fahrvergnügen...

Wow, not sure how I didn't see this before but nice work.

Guys, we better pay attention and help him feex it quick. He just got a new hardness!

On https://tailofthedragon.com/ : May 29, 2020 We have had a number of inquiries about Fontana Village reopening. The latest news is that the future of Fontana Village is uncertain. The popular resort leases the land from the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) and according to the May 28, 2020...

Because of the gear ratio, even if the motor puts the same torque in, the actual acceleration will be lower in the higher gear. For most people who want to be pushed back into the seat with acceleration, then, they will ask for more in 6th gear than in 5th to achieve the same feeling of...

Interesting post, congratulations my dude.

Nice. Hook up with the dudes over there, @Mastermind46 and hell I can't recall who else. Don't worry, I'm still on k04 and I'm not changing it unless it blows. The car is already a rush to drive, so I'll only enhance it if it's easy.

Welcome, Jimme. There's a lot more knowledge here than is immediately obvious from the site. Lots of written tribal knowledge has gone away now that the "other site" is gone, but you can find someone here that knows pretty much all of it, so if you're curious about anything don't be afraid to ask.

injector seals as the only mod is the weirdest shit ever.

If you want to tune yourself, Versatuner... if you are just going to get professionally tuned (preferably by one of the vendors here) then go VersaTuner Lite. https://www.versatuner.com/features/mazdaspeed-3-mazda-3-mps-gen2 Now that the OBDLink SX is available it's easily the best option. I'd...

Congrats dude. If you got anywhere near $100 for a 20k/yr that's freaking fantastic. Same as what I was doing before the cx5. The Cruze was less than $250/mo including insurance, fuel, everything. And the 6 is no doubt a MUCH better car, much like the cx5. Still lovin' it big time.

You can talk about being an engineer (there are many here, frankly) and wrists vs. elbows until you're blue in the face. I'd be willing to bet money the CS and DM have the same engine movement within 5%. And I'd bet the cpe s2 is only a bit more, with all three being an order of magnitude...

No doubt. But what I'm really interested in is whether the CS 2 transmits the ~3k RPM throttle-off sound. The DM transmitted it so much I swore I had compressor surge. It drove me nuts enough to switch to the cpe s2. If the CS s2 doesn't transmit that I'd be impressed. But I bet it does, since...
