I'll let you know once I see how much paint will cost locally. I'm 1/2 hour east of TO - what would be half way for you?
Thanks.

Re: intake gains on your cars
MOSES, I hope I don't dampen your enthusiasm, but you will have to do some studying - there are so many things you read or hear that are inaccurate or completely false.
First of all, most mods improve power on a level best expressed by a percantage - perhaps someone could gain 30 hp on a 300+hp ...

Re: PLEASE help! Ball Joint Search Nighmare
OK, here is the conclusion of my ball joint saga...
I got the correct part (I had to buy a pinch bolt - the one that came off my left ball joint had massacred threads, and unlike the cheap NAPA part, the Mazda ball joint does not come wiht new hardware...go figure, it only costs twice as much ...

Re: Rusty Door Frames...suggestions please
CRAP! Thanks for the input... as you can imagine, that was kinda what I feared...Was it very expensive? I imagine any time the terms "custom made" comes into play, it usually means "cost a lot"...
Mine look to be pretty eaten...I'm afraid I may have a similar thing in my future.
Thanks a lot ...

Rusty Door Frames...suggestions please
As the subject states - The black parts of my door frames (near the B-pillar) are pretty severely afflicted with rust. Fromwhat I see, this is a pretty common problem on these cars. Mine has popped up really quickly and in great amounts - so its not just some simple, cosmetic surface rust problem ...

OK - I got the parts, by eyeball they seem to be the right ones...But the weather has conspired to keep me from putting the m in - its been pi$$ing down rain here for days (of course it clears up once I finally decide that its going to rain all day and postpone the work...).

Re: Problem: Oil on valve cover
Practically anyone I have ever spoken to with any of these mazda v6's - any size, any car - has had the same problem I have - oil pooling in the spark-plug wells, due to the $h!tty valve cover gasket these things are "blessed" with. But be that as it may, I have never heard of oil shooting out of ...

Thanks again for your responses - all the help is very much appreciated!
Yes, I was told of the VIN break - my car is early (that is why I posted what I remembered of the last 6 figures of my vin ).

Re: PLEASE help! Ball Joint Search Nighmare
Thanks for your help, I don't know if there are O'Riley stores in Canada - but maybe that part number will help - perhaps it cross-refferences with something? Worth a try.
The part I got from Mazda was a lot closer than the others, but there was no way to spread the clamp-portin enough to accept ...

Re: Starting Problems - Pls Help
The motor is on the outs as soon as $$$ permits to make room for a 2.5. Appearance is not an issue. I'm still doing my research, thinking Millenia Miller Cycle... Hmmm(yes, Iknow that its not a 2.5 but it has the positive pressure)
