Anyone ever dealt with any of the custom/adjustable radiator hoses? I'm pretty sure my upper rad hose is going to need some tweaking to clear my hotpipe properly, and I'd rather get something that looks nice than just hack some bends together.
Specifically, I'm looking at a couple of...
I know it's a little late to be getting this rolling, but that just means we have to get things nailed down quickly.
So, here's how things are going to work this year: We will be asking for a $5 donation to the site in order to register for the cruise. (when you submit your donation, please...
Hoping to get some feedback from some folks more experienced at building motors than I am... Barring any obvious pre-existing problems, just how important is align honing the main caps on a relatively modest build? I'm trying to walk the line between doing it right, and keeping costs...
Posted this on 247, but no info yet... Maybe someone around here has something?
I ordered most of my internals from a local performance shop, and I'm just doing a sanity check on all the part numbers. The ARP main stud kit I got is number 218-5401, and says "MAZDA MIATA MAIN STUD KIT" on the...
The gasket is a Rock Parts brand from rockauto, still in the original shrink wrapped packaging. I got it as part of a full engine gasket kit, but I'm going to go with a Cometic head gasket.
Sells for $45 + shipping... so how about $40? I'll even throw in the badass Rock Parts hat that came...
I know I'm probably the only MSP owner on here actively buying parts... but in case there's anyone else Protephile on mazdas247 is having a group buy on Thunder v3 turbo manifolds. Just need 5 more buyers to get the price down to $385 shipped :)...
So, you've got me a little intrigued by the fact that you're offering ceramic coating locally at a reasonable price, now here's your chance to sell it, haha.
What kind of benefits to power, longevity, and/or reliabilty could I realistically expect to see on a daily driven car with moderate...
I know we used to have a coffee thread on here, but I can't for the love of Dan's mom find it. (If anyone does find it, let me know and I'll merge them)
So, I just picked up an Aeropress this week, and first used it this morning. So far I'm loving it. I can control how much coffee I use...
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm always looking for ways to get introduced to new/different music, but don't always have the time to go searching it out. So I thought this might be a neat idea for a thread, where we can share some of our tastes and hopefully find something new that...
Well, since this project doesn't involve a rotary or a DISI, this thread is probably mostly going to be me talking to myself, hehe... But hell, I'm bored right now.
I'll save this first post for current status and such. See the next post for the backstory.

I suppose the thread title is pretty self-explanatory. If anyone has an engine hoist and/or engine stand that they'd be willing to lend out for maybe 2-3 weeks, it would be much appreciated. I could put up a case or two of your favorite brew or some similar compensation.
I don't have a...
Cleaning out the basement continues...
For sale, I've got the truck with a radio, all electronics, 2 custom bodies, a few battery packs, a quick charger, and some misc accessories. If anyone has any interest in any or all of what I've got, I'd be happy to get more details and some pics...
I'm rewiring my LA-IC fan and pump, and I'm just wondering if there's a "proper" or best practice way to do this.
ATM, both accessories are powered off a relay that's switched from the interior. I want this to only possibly be on when accessory power is on, so that I don't have to switch it...
Hey guys, I'm in the process of pricing out a rebuild, and I'd like to know what your prices are on the following items--all for 2003 mazdaspeed protege. I'm not necessarily looking to go all-out here, and I'm mostly going off what I know to be popular choices for this motor, so if you have a...
I just realized how selfish I've been in keeping this beaut all to myself!
This thing has been sitting in my backyard for far, far too long, and it's high time it got a new home. That new home will either be with another member or with the City of Minneapolis Dept. of Sanitation.
So...
This will probably all end up in the trash or donated to goodwill, but I thought I'd give you guys a shot at it first. I just hate throwing away perfectly good things. I don't have a price in mind for any of this stuff, so if you want it just let me know and we'll figure something out.
