Yes, that pic is pretty badass. Love the Spicy Orange Dice too. If I could find some that color, I would replace mine. Mine were given to me because the guy who had em (the one below with the GTI) got some different fuzzy dice. He also has a stripper that hangs on to the little antenna. It's kind of funny.

Thanks for the insurance info. I call Progressive (my insurer) and the lady said it would be 0%Deductable. Kansei, thanks for the info on the MSP glass. I would've totally gotten screwed there.

This is funny...---->

I really doubt anyone other than Mazda makes the MSP glass since the normal glass will actually work just fine.. but slower :P

Spark Plugs

well i changed my spark plugs today...but just realized they are different than the ones I had in before. I previously had the NGK BKR5E-11 and this time I got the ZFR7F-11. i meant to buy the same kind but I guess found the wrong part number before I went. Is it still ok to use these plugs? haven't started the car yet if its not.

Um the car will probably run on them.. enough to get to the parts store to buy the right ones. I ran the ZFR7F-11 once.. but I'm turboed and even then they were too cold.

Get the ZFR5F-11 (ZFR6F-11 for MSP), they'll be MUCH better. Even if you think the car runs ok on the 7, they'll get gunked up very quickly and it'll suck.

good thing they're so cheap!

what's the difference between the ZFR5F-11 and BKR5E-11 aren't the BKR5E-11 the V-Power?

I run the V-power in mine. Couldn't be happier. NGK + Mazda = can't go wrong.

That's the stock plug but people report the car running smoother (who knows.. no scientific evidence) on the ZFR5F-11.. it's basically the same plug, just extended reach. It's what Proteges in Japan and elsewhere use.

Oh I missed this post.. no, the BKR5E-11 doesn't necessarily mean v-power.. same goes for the ZFR5F-11.. but v-power seems to be all that stores carry?
