Changed oil on the zx2, and then decided to remove it's lower intake resonator. And man, am I glad I did! After pulling out the resonator, I found a snap on fine tooth ratchet and a few misc snap on sockets. Looks like one of the old owners must have dropped them down there by mistake, and never found them! They are a little dirty, but still work! hehe

I've dropped many a tool down that hole, but I keep track of my tools so I've never forgotten any in there lol. Have you replaced the other resonator with a pipe yet?

I have an iceman cai installed, so that automatically eliminates the upper resonator. I was planning on being lazy and just keeping the lower resonator installed until I got around to making a custom ram air intake setup to work with the stock air box, but I had a little extra time, and decided to quick remove it when I replaced the air filter. Ram air setup is still being thought out, and I think I might wait until after winter for it, so that I don't force snow up into the intake with the ram air system and maybe clog the filter.

As for dropping tools down there, yeah, I have as well, and that's why I always keep a strong magnet taped onto a foot long stick in my trunk, so that I can retreve nuts, bolts, and tools from down in there if I drop any.

[Mikey27]

Ah, I have an s/r so I have an iceman as well. as for the ram air take a look at what mine looks like ill put a pic up, it gets ram air from the side scoop that feeds the fender well(could prob use so improvements like cutting out the grill and maybe adding a hose) but it will work good in the snow and rain.

I'm thinking about actually cutting a hole in the inner fender area (where the tools were found) behind the bumper, and then running a hose through it, facing forwards, and getting air that way. But I still need to figure out how I want to the inlet to be. I don't want it to be obvious, but if I try and hide it, it might not be able to get tons of air like I want it to. I was thinking about putting the inlet at the fog light hole, as the car doesn't have fog lights, but I thought about it, and I might just want to install some driving lights eventually, as my lights are horrible.

Gonna try to get my new swaybar bushings in, and start working on my false trunk floor so I can organize things a bit better

[Mazda_Powered]

As per the above post, got my sway bar bushings in...all good there.

Found a few issues with the LCAs, but I have that fixed up as well now

Installed some new plugs (NGK BKR7E FTW) and she's back to normal...although there still is a slight hesitation when boost builds past 2/3 throttle...I'm guessing it's the VAF not telling my injectors to work harder lol...so I'm going to mess around with a spare VAF tomorrow to see if I can get a bit more fuel out of it.

Your cars always seem to hate wheel bearings lol, do they just hum a lot now? or are you getting other noises as well??
