Just incase anyone is faced w this...I have the firestone life time alignment and they gave me lots of bull about if its too low or modified....saying they can't do it, that it will damage going on rack. I got the guy to try it and it just bareeely clears it...the only ramps that work for low cars r the old ones. Im sitting now getting it aligned @ south land mall firestone, hopefully they do a good job...

Thanks for the web site/info. since firestone is able to do it I will continue going there, its practically free.. Paid $142 and already got 3 alignments +...its a lifetime deal as long as I own the car I dont pay anything more...

thats not even an hour drive for me, and no tolls.. I may take you up on that offer. Best day would be this wednesday, I'm free all day. Today I work, tromorrow I got bowling, thursday - next monday I work, then next Tuesday I depart for socal enroute to vegas.
just PM me I guess
and nice set up, Im picking up some Tein S Tech springs next week, and that alone should give me about an inch drop total (little less than a inch in the rear). Im not sure how much Koni yellow struts drop it, but thats on my list for the future too. I've got big plans within the next few months now

ok problem solved. there was a total of 3 problems. flooded, battery, and ignition coils. i already knew it was flooded and the ignition coils had to be replaced which i did on my own. as for the battery, i knew it was going out but i thought i had more time before i NEEDED to replace it but i think i killed it trying to deflood it. Putnam mazda in burlingame CA deflooded and replaced the battery for $300. apparently the battery i had was only puttin out 430 cold cranking amps, 675 is recomended haha
thanks for everyones input. special thanks to superhyped for comin out to use his obd scanned. car is fixed now =)
so whens the next meet?

my guess is slick tires, my car is perfect on those roads, dry weather, everything. But I did use tire shine, armor all's foam stuff.. May have oversprayed..
