I think you should spend some money getting it registered on the streets so no more police harresment.

Meh,

I've only been harassed once since I moved here.

I just need to stop driving around topless.

Well either my eccentric shaft is sticking out about a 1/4 of an inch to far or it's not torqued down properly....and the mechanic that did the rebuild is rather elusive atm. But I did find out that Mazda puts a PoS metal piece in the A/T shifter units that likes to break so if anyone has an A/T shifter go out let me know it's a rather easy fix.

I'm not sure yet actually, I have a few things to do that are not car related. It's so annoying Just text me tomorrow, I wouldn't mind doing some tuning myself.

Ok first we will have to put 100 bbs into the air filter and a net on the exhaust... start the car and rev to redline/fuel cutoff.. then based on the number of bbs that came out the exhaust we adjust your afrs and timing...



done....
