dude finally i see something fast from mazda w/ my engine on. Damn! i aint planning on hitting that fast just 14's if that car can handle 572 w/ stock axle then im sure 14's wont hurt my axle.
here's the deal everyday i drive and see civic and look at my like its a piece of ****. I have never been beaten by a civic well not yet. And im not planning on getting beaten by them. ie. on my way to lunch today this guy on a baby blue civic with the biggest body kit and lexus rear lites ive ever seen was tail gating me the whole 2 miles when he can just go to my rite and pass me. so wut i did was moved out of my way and looked at the guy he looked at took off the only thing was i stayed on my second gear which is about 4800 rpm so rite when he took off i was fckin' around w/ him his car wasn't pulling at all. the whole time i was just laughin my *** off while starring at him then i let him eat my dust...by the way the window sticker says " full show" i was like wut is there to show his car was annoying!
Umm general rule is that slower traffic keeps right....

I still hate tailgaters though

Lol, you're talking about Adam. He had 325, get it right! j/k man.

The guy with the 532hp mentioned he went through 20+ trannies over a span of 3-4 years. Axles.. he said he stopped counting after ..50 ? Either way. jesus, what a headache. wish there were stonger tranies for us >:|

toda racing makes a metal head gasket for the BP if you want to bump the compression and go all motor ,also you can look into high compression pistons , factory or stronger rods(eagle) (this is ofcourse if you can put the stuff in yourself ,) , which is what my 323 will most likely be ...
but I am not speaking on that

But when he ran it he had boost down so it was like 275. I wish it would handle more power but why? 500 plus hp is just to much. I want a daily driver with around 250-275 hp. 275 will get u into the 12's :-)
