| We had a surprise blizzard here in Colorado this week. I was released from work early but the commute home was extremely slow. When I got near home, the roads were unplowed and deep with heavy slushy snow. I got stuck; the snow was simply deeper than the ground clearance and had ice and slush under it. A van and a Ford Expedition behind me also got stuck. With shovels and pushing we got the other two out; we moved enough snow that I was able to park the Speed6 close to the curb. Then I walked 2 1/2 blocks home. The next day I went back, after a plow came through, to dig out the car and bring it home. I discovered that someone had sideswiped my Mazda and kept going. Scratches, a crease, and broken mirror to the tune of $2500. Damn, damn, damn. | |

At first I didn't notice any difference, but then I realized the boost is staying on past 6K. Wheee! It used to kick off around 5200. Love it.

Replying to: stkntraffic (May 01, 2007 3:49 pm) What reason was given to deny the warranty claim? |

Replying to: stkntraffic (May 01, 2007 3:49 pm) That other person you are talking about, I have read his post. I think he is missing some important details on why he saw stuck with the bill, and Mazda did not pick it up. |

Replying to: stragf (May 02, 2007 7:33 am) Because it's less restrictive than the stock setup, it's supposed to add a few more horsepower to your car. Since the filter at the end of the CAI is pointing toward the ground, it has been reported to act like a "snorkle" when driving through standing water, sucking water into and ruining the engine. Although it's not real clear if this actually happened or if the guy who reported it really told the whole story. |
