I wish I had too. To add to it, the Mazda engine blew a head and the oil pump failed causing some other damage last Thursday. Its getting a new motor from Mazdaspeed and RPM Racing. 3.0L bored to 3.33L with new heads, pistons, rods, etc. With new headers and my straight pipes, I should net around 300 at the wheels. SHOULD is the key word. This is a pre-turbo setup and I'm the only guy to run it NA, so there isn't a dyno on what it'll run. It also will have new motor mounts, a race-spec radiator, and the Injen CAI of course.

Zoom Zoom my ass. The van is slower than walking, but a lot more comfy. Brakes turn the car into a rollercoaster ride though. The rotors are destroyed and it grinds them so bad. I also have 1 brake light and no backup lights. Gotta love rentals.
This new motor really put a damper on my spending. It'll be nice to have a new motor though with lots of power. I'm sure the Mazda has been lacking for awhile. Not to mention it sounded sweet with the open pipes before. With a better engine and full-on catless headers and straight pipes, the Mazda will not zoom, it'll howl like a banshee.

You two are funny. Always hitting animals on the same road. It is ashame that the cars are getting distroyed. The main point is that you are still here.
I was reading your story the other morning, then on my why to work I almost hit a nice buck at 5:30 am.
Oh, and vans rock. Literly. They are so soft and are all over the place with bad brakes.
