He has the original rear end in his car, so he goes through the gears a little quicker. Mine is a little more driver friendly.

There you go that's the answer i was lookin for good to hear he still has it and running strong, oh and the reason I asked was I saw a Mazdaspeed 5 that had a few things done to it and I remember his old car and how upset he was with the limitations of the 5

^ i tested a mazdaspeed5 before i bought Z and stock was rather impressed....however, as a single male, the Z seemed the logical choice price point, and functionality wise. when i have a fam, or they drop in price I'd consider one....but I believe Aaron did it right with the evo choice.

there is no such thing as a mazdaspeed 5. this is the closest thing I could find. so unless you all are talking about engine swaps you are referring to either a mazdaspeed3 or mazdasped6.

so I am flat @ss broke.... and my blower decides to take one **** after another on me.... put 60 bucks worth of belts on it just to watch it eat them up in less than 5 minutes. Leak-down on the motor is not good, so I broke down and bought a new one.

Honda HS1132TA. Spent a few hours today cleaning up the drifts in my driveway, cleared out the drifts at the buildings and cleaned off the rink for my kid to skate. It throws snow 35+ ft in the air... and upwords of 60' in distance. Really quite the machine

Don't have vid of me blowing snow with it, but here is a good one off youtube:

Ive been seeing the bright wheels every now and then on z's now. Its sad that the z's are becoming cheap enough for little kids to get a hold of and ruin. Not that bright wheels arent cool on the right setup but not a stock z with spray painted bright stock wheels.

so I went out a few days ago to check on my z and my battery was , COMPLETELY dead. Not even enough juice to unlock the doors with the key fob. So I charged it up and it wouldnt hold a charge. Good thing I just bought an optima yellow top last year for 220 bucks huh? so I went to where I bought it and they gave me a free one. So now the new one is in my house with a 2 amp charger on it.
