My intentions were never to try and make more a little more power rob a lot of the stock things were no longer working cost of new versus removing it i did what made sense at the time. Now im needing to drive the car more and not just a fun ride on the weekend.

Edit: the motor isnt really my main concern either, the suspension is. The tread wear is horrable with all the camber in it and i need to fix all that before i spend money on good new tires.

I have never really heard of the emissions stuff breaking, the NA cars are reliable when left alone.

Cats get clogged all the time.

Like I said, I've never had emissions effect drivability.

I had clogged cats which i remvoed, then the air pump followed, and acv, then i removed the "rats nest", egr valve, the omp was leaking so it was removed, im know theres more im forgetting. Anyway just added up parts for the suspension and to do the rear its gonna be 166.80 for springs, end links, and dtss eliminators. Hopefuly that will fix most of the weirdness in the rear and the camber issue.

car runs horribly rich right now i wanted the safc to tune it and try and get a little better mpg out of it. The cat and airpump becuase the smell is driving me crazy now. And the stock suspension is worn out so i need springs,struts, bushings, and all the good ****. and the exhuast has leaks and is blown out a little so a new catback.

What gives you the idea you are running rich? Do the plugs show it or you got A/F numbers? Run a bottle of Lucas injector treatment thru the motor, I usually run a full bottle to a half tank and run the **** out of the car. Helps a little bit but it usually takes a tank or so to see the difference.

i dont know if id trust injector cleaner, even in mazda's batch of TSBs they note that some fuel injector cleaners can cause problems, they specify a specific type but i dont remember it off-hand.
