  1. Are you saying speed 3 parts on a protege? That's not going to work. Everything you describe in the op is the protege 5.
  2. +1 Spinnin ain't winnin! I'm with you on this. Spoke with a Mazda engineer at Mid-Ohio a couple years back and he stated anything over 275 wheel horsepower in the fwd was pointless. Each car will be different and it's really up to the driver on what's streetable. My speed protege came with 170 hp at the crank, I'm conservatively guessing I had it up to about 175 whp and thought is was great. Conversely my 6 wagon came with 215hp at the crank and dyno'd at 182 whp last May completely stock (and 10 years old). It can get out of it's own way and merges onto 270 just fine, a little more power might be nice but not necessary. Sways and coil-overs yes please! Things like stiffer motor mounts and the power the trans can hold and put down is a big factor too.
  3. New plug, some gas and I'm sure some adjusting and it should be good to go.
  4. interested, will have to check what days my class is.
  5. I used FedEx freight for a cf roof cap a couple years ago. It was roughly $40 w/ insurance for about 38lbs. Dimension were roughly 6ft. by 3 3/4ft. by 6" I think. Set it up on-line, fed ex came to my house to pick it up.
  6. Googled his address via the phone #, it's a mile away from work. Went ahead and called him. Awesome guy on the phone, dropping off my wheels and tires tonight after work for him to do at his leisure. I'll figure out the alignment later. Thanks Guys!
  7. I need an alignment too. IPS gave me a good quote on both, called to make the appointment and was told their tire machine is broke. Would love to hear the stories and see the rx7's though.
  8. Firestone on State St. in Westerville just quoted me $75 for swapping tires on 2 wheels. :lolguy: Guy didn't sound like he knew what he was doing anyway.
  9. I think Ferentz still has a higher cost per win ratio
  10. Tired of looking moving it around in my garage. HPI Racing Nitro RS4-2 4WD Second Gen $50 obo Has Saleen Mustang Body, Futaba Controller (No bottom piece for the batteries) and tools and random stuff in the box. I haven't started it in years, had more fun building it than running it. Pictures! upside down and side ways http://https//s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/12/cb/cb/12cbcb45e6e38649462576fef178258e.jpg
  11. Will happily take Onkyo TX-DS575 $25 OBO for asking price. Exactly what I need in my garage.
  12. +1 Came here to post this Westerville bike shop in uptown is alsoa great bike store, but I'm not sure on their kid's selection.
  13. The thing about the widget makers is, there are other people in the world the same age making more or less money then they are. In the world of widgets guy A is doing great, guy B not so much. But in the world as a whole, guy A might just be doing meh. Kinda like the big fish in a little widget pond, but a smaller fish in the big world pond. I make decent money compared to the other people I work with, but I'm sure most of CR makes more than I do at their day job. I would be guy A in your scenario.
  14. Bump. If need the car that goes with the bracket CR has you covered! http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121409
  15. Middle Class Pros - You can contribute to the consumer driven society and feel good about your purchasing power. Cons - You and/or your kids never qualify for financial aid. 'Merican dream! Was this based off gross income from pay checks?
  16. Congrats! That rear wheel gap looks terrible. Maybe it's the angle?
  17. I've called many times. I'm usually near campus area of 71 when it happens.
  18. I have a front license plate relocation bracket for the Focus ST $40 obo. Website it came from: http://ccmustangbrackets.com/product/2013-ford-focus-st/ The most stealthy of colors, the satin black bracket is the best choice for low visibility. Satin Black powder coated surface Requires no maintenance Aluminum Construction Stainless Steel Hardware Easy to install http://ccmustangbrackets.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2013-Focus-ST-1024x680.jpg
  19. My 4 year old razr came with an app called Drive. It does all that and turns on my phone's GPS.
  20. There's your answer. You just need to get with her and work out a compromise. Maybe include your daughter too and treat her like an adult and see if she can handle it.
  21. Just because you have a green light doesn't mean you should proceed. That goes for both parties involved. No matter who is at fault, the real loser here is us. No one died so they are still driving/riding the streets of Columbus.
