+1 the entire general discussion forum (for all models) is *poof* gone. No word at all from the site owners. I know they have an admin account but have 0 posts :P

iMazda ftw, lol. If everything does fall apart, that's most likely where I'll be. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

But back on topic, today I looked into RockBlocker Overlays. The cheapest method for doing my fogs would be buying the bulk rectangles, but anyone know off hand how big sedan fogs are in inches? I dont measure anything in inches except rims, so I have a poor gauge when someone is selling, say, 4x6 inches of overlay vs 6x10.

no need to jump to conclusions. I bet the new owners just don't even know there's a problem. A liason needs to be set up between them and us so that they are informed of stuff.

They did buy the site after all.. I'm sure they don't just buy sites and let them die, it wouldn't really make sense to

something about him holding a grudge and not being able to let go. If he hates it so much, it's kinda strange he keeps getting caught going back there lol

^Nice post! What's the story behind the 4,294,967,292 posts anyway? I think Chris got up above 14,000 before he was b&, then it was 0 for a while...

lol no, but he made a post on my birthday.

Maybe that's the dude who is "Kansei" on here.. some dude from Canada :P

on an unrelated but on-topic note, I gotta do something about the heat shield on my manifold. Stock, it's held in with I think 4 bolts. Of course, the car being in Rochester, said bolts are quite rusty, and I'm now down to two bolts holding the heat sheild on. It rattles in the 2-3k RPM range.. this weekend I'm going to need to drill out the two dead bolts and find some stainless steel replacement bolts.

I wish every bolt on this car didn't need to be replaced all the time. I guess that's what you get for expecting an economy car to last for ~5 years in the northeast. thanks Mazda :P my ford-made, 13 year old Mazda B4000 doesn't have these issues at all >_<

i don't know the exact sizes of the factory fogs, but two 4x6 should cover both fogs - a single 6x10 should do both, also (if its cheaper than two 4x6's)

How was that an attack? I just said you talk so much trash but keep going back there. If it's for Nepoc I understand, but again, you know who you're dealing with.
