  1. Never been good at double quoting responses, but I did a search through iTunes and seems to have found all/most of my mp3's, couldn't remember how many I have off the top of my head. It came up with just shy of 14,000 files. http://images1.memegenerator.net/ImageMacro/4643246/OH-FUCK.jpg?imageSize=Medium&generatorName=Angry-Arnold brb, transferring 50+ gigs of music. Thanks guys.
  2. Last night, iTunes was acting very odd. My computer was trying to open it, but it wouldn't. I figured it was no big deal and just closed the app. Fast forward to today, I tried to open iTunes again, and lo and behold "blah blah blah iTunes library has been damaged, file moved to "iTunes Library (Damaged)" then it opened and now all of my music/videos are gone. I found the "damaged" file and of course it won't open. Any suggestions as what caused this? Most of my music is still on my mp3 player, and I remember once reading about a program which takes the songs from the player and loads them back onto iTunes. Can anyone help me out?

    RX8

    Looks good, slow, bag mpg, iirc 100k+ powertrain warranty on all of them.
  4. If it's a stick, grab an S100 from Hondata. Seems pretty damn cheap @ $195 for a pretty through tuning solution. http://www.hondata.com/s100.html
  5. Is Hondata cheap for those cars? That seems to give the biggest fun factor on most Honda 4-bangers I've been in.
  6. Are people here actually surprised by the results? News flash: GTR's are fast.
  7. Those Fiestas are sweeping up the competition. I know they are displacement/power limited, but are the motors prepared by the same people? Or are they actual Ford built motors?
  8. 1.)My buddy has a '99 aka the NB, Miata's have simple chassis codes NA is the 1st gen, NB is the 2nd, and the NC is the current car. check for rust inside fenders, and under side skirts. Other than typical maintainence his car seems bulletproof. According to him, the NA's 1.6l motor feels a bit more lively than his 1.8l but I don't think it matters too greatly. 2.) He (and just about everyone else competitive) tends to run 15's, less sidewall to flex, and depending on the tires you're looking for, more selection. Are you going to run street tires or race tires? You can find all the big time street tires, Direzza Star Specs, Bridgestone RE11, etc in 15's. 3.) Miata.net, Goodwin Racing, and Corksport (they do every kind of Mazda) are a few I can name off the top of my head.
  9. It must be car dependent, my car actually runs better on BP or Mobil than Sunoco: http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k10/tripleskate/bpsunoco.jpg This was a 4th gear pull using 89 octane BP and 89 octane Sunoco, as you can see the car actually was more happy to give more timing advance throughout most of the powerband on BP fuel. I would just chalk it up to bad experience, or a bad gas station in general.

  11. Since this image came up, it's technically on the forum. I'll vote for Tom's black C6Z, brb driving on R-comps everywhere. That car is nasty.
  12. BIGWING NU SCOOB LOL AT YU MOVE OVR 1flySTI
  13. Do you think that National Trails is not a fair proving grounds for two cars racing in a straight line?
  14. Yes it does. Raced I'm assuming a bone stock 5.0 (manual) at trails back in 2008. His 60' was a little soft but he didn't get anywhere, and this was when the car was still bone stock. Had an old codger laugh at my car in his 5.0 with catback(?) at a stop light in middle-of-nowehere, Ohio. He wasn't laughing when my little four banger was holding a half a car in front of him the entire time. I like Foxes, they're one of my favorite bodystyles for the Mustang, but the stock 5.0 motor is a bit underwhelming, especially since most of them have a shit ton of hard miles on them.
  15. What mods does it have to run mid-high 13's? Hell, even my car crushes stock/light bolt-on 5.0's...
  16. This. They can be had for that money easily. I borrowed my friend's 02 and got nearly 40mpg on the freeway. If you're easy on the gas, the thing sips fuel.
  17. To frustrate people. For the record, the Mazda3 04-09 aka the 1st gen has 6 different PJB's, and new ECU setups every half year! That makes tuning these cars damn near impossible because there is no standard in wiring/design, and Mazda tends to keep the schematics for everything locked up.
  18. No. As with most Mazdas, there are no direct ecu swaps.
