Only real update I can give you now is that nothing's wrong. Doesn't affect anything at all, period. If anything catastrophic happens though, I'll start a new thread detailing what the hell went wrong. About your friend getting an 8, only issues are the trannies. If it breaks, don't admit any fault and I'm sure they'll give him a new one free. (Just like me )

Yeah, but I'm running 93 octane on a stock car. Shouldn't be.

If your motor blows soon, I'm selling my FD. Heck you can take it for $5k.



Mazda, I swear...
