Two races for an underweight car? That seems very extreme when in the past simple violations like that just cause the car to forfeit their points in that race. Some of the stuff I read pointed to a "secret" secondary fuel tank that let the car use fuel as ballast. BAR personnel claims that the...

I do know what you mean about the rear brake dust. My car used to do that but the rear brake dust really tapered off at about 12K miles (I'm at 17.5K now). My A/C is actually better than my last car (2000 Eclipse GT) so you won't hear me complaining about that. :) Of course, I haven't had a...

The Mazdzaspeed 3 should be very interesting... What I couldn't do with another 100 hp... :)

Compared to other cars in its class, I never thought the 3 had a lack of power. Most other cars in the class have less (Civic, Corolla, Cavalier/Cobalt, Focus, Elantra, etc.). When you start cross-shopping with sportier cars, it is true that the 3 could use more power, but I wouldn't say the RSX...

I have a 2004 Mazda3 5-door. It's been a great car in the year that I've had it. The car has been mechanically perfect and has also been a blast to drive. For such a small car, this thing can hold a tremendous amount with the seats down. I bought this car for commuting, as I drive 50+ miles a...

If you want to find the worst spots in the carpet, buy a black light. They sell them at Petsmart and Petco. Theoretically, the less evidence of himself your puppy smells the less likely he is to eliminate inside. My puppy had a bladder infection a couple of months ago. After he was better...

If your stock deck has CD changer controls, PIE might make a CD changer controller and RCA input adapter for your stock radio. That's what I did to get a line in for my '04 Mazda 3. I put the PIE CD changer controller into the CD changer input in the back of my stereo. Then, I attached the...

I've never owned a VW myself, but my father and friends have gone with APR (www dot apr dot com). They do a great job. You can either send your stock ECU to them for programming or they can get a new box for you and you can put that in your car. That costs more $$$, but you can easily replace...

Can you connect this to a computer as well? I've been looking for a DVD burner for my Mac to use with iMovie, but if I can get one that I can also connect to my HDTV as a DVI DVD player, I'll be very, very happy.

Which do you all think provides the better picture: using the 3:2 pulldown in your progressive scan DVD player or on the HDTV set? Here's why I ask: I've got a 46" Sony widescreen HDTV (KPxxxws500). This set has 2 component HD inputs and 1 DVI-HDTV input. When I got the set, I hooked up my...

Aside from size, what are the advantages of MiniDV vs. Digital8? I'm looking to get a a digital camcorder in the next month or two and the only requirements I have are good zoom and a firewire output. I've found both formats in my price range, with the Digital8 being a little cheaper. Aside...

1) I don't know. It could just depend on what store is selling the set to a completely different model. 2) I've really only done the red tweak and the manual convergence and I'm very happy with the improvement - especially the manual convergence. I'm sure that I could also gain some...

Aaron - The document Sean is talking about did wonders for me. After manually converging my set, the quality I expected was there. If you need this document, please let me know and I can email it to you. Chip

Steve - I've already got, and run through, the AVIA DVD. While that helped me get color and contrast right, I ended up doing some work with the convergence - my red gun was hugh and my blue gun was low. That made a big improvement. But, after doing the convergence, I think my guns might be a...

I just got this set today, actually. Is there anyway to calibrate the set, other than Flash Focus? I'm seeing quite a bit of grain in DVDs and I'm just getting the feeling that flash focus isn't perfect.
