motor mount - keeps the motor planted in the car. ie, the recent TSB for mazdaspeed3 owners to bring in their cars before the engine falls out from under the car.
TPMS - tire pressure monitoring system, lets you know when youve got a flat with funky "radio" waves and fancy "electronics." not really necessary unless you have run-flat tires, but hey whatever floats your boat. standard on mazdaspeed3 - something to consider working around if upgrading wheels. TMIC - top mount intercooler, like in a speed3, speed6, or cx-7 SMIC - side mount intercooler, like in a mazdaspeed protege FMIC - front mount intercooler, like in a mitsubishi evo |
and here is a compiled list of everything that was posted in here so that ppl like me that are a little bit OCD and bored dont have to go searching for all these things in 600 different locations.. Enjoy !!
