Ah I loooove the mazda3 I drove a rental a few months ago and was so impressed by the handling! Every time I go by one now I have to turn and look, I think it's a very attractive car, especially with the spoiler.

Yes, I think the guy who had it on his car was going for contrast. There are lots of pink accessories though, you'll find some you like

Given my back injuries that I have from being hit by a van while on a bicycle, and the follow up chronic tendonitis, I will leave working under the hood for those with more skills, zero petrochemical allergies, the right tools, and stronger backs. Putting on my own plastic plate cover protectors is enough of a challange. Besides my Mom would have a fit if I tried to install myself the turbo charger I want. After my heart attack last year, my Mom has become a little too protective. My Mom does admit with me being her primary sourse of support, she wants nothing to happen to me.

Sorry I am not much for old cars without catalitic converters. Too much air pollution for someone who suffers from petrochemical allergies. http://www.midatlanticnostalgiaconvention.com/ Besides I used to live near Aberdeen, MD. The APG Tank Museum is more my style. LOL.

You may have heard people say that our cars have a four-cylinder, internal combustion engine. Each cylinder is just a tube in the engine that has a piston (a part that goes up and down) inside. Basically, the movement of the pistons is what makes the power that turns the wheels of the car.

To make the power, air and fuel get mixed together inside the cylinder above each piston. The spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture, and that little explosion (combustion) drives down the piston--the force created is then transmitted to other parts of the car, and off you go.

The Blitz supercharger I have is a pretty complex part! It connects to the outside of the engine, and replaces one of the stock pieces. What it does is compress the air before it goes into the cylinders. More air means more fuel can be mixed with it, so the engine can do more work in each cycle of fuel burning. In other words it has more horsepower.

Summary: supercharger =
You *ARE* f'ing awesome!

Noob question, I imagine. How does that mod affect your MPG?

WTF, I might as well "come out" too.
I try to keep a gender-neutral profile online, but who cares.
It's probably pretty obvious by now anyway.

Hello ladies! Greetings from the Fog City.

If you want to call it that, I guess. ;)
Probably assumed male b/c you are thinking of a tomato so you're thinking "he"
Doesn't matter anyway :)
