It's not about Mazda but in general, how safe is NOS? Oh and i read that Nitrous Oxide itself is not flammable.,..

N2O is like anything else. It's safe if applied properly. The gas doesn't hold much harm toward you (unless you inhale it) and it is not flammable by itself. The real danger is to your engine if you don't set it up properly. Easy to pop an engine if you run lean or spray too soon.

First of all, it's "nitrous oxide", "nitrous" or "N2O", not "NOS". NOS is the name of a company that produces nitrous oxide systems and accessories. Secondly, nitrous is available at almost any local speed shop. They will fill your approved (DOT for highway use) nitrous cylinder for a nominal fee.
Shipping filled nitrous containers via normal shipping methods is ilegal, so it doubtfull that such a thing could be done via mail order.
And I should mention that automotive nitrous oxide contains impurities (among other things, sulphur) added to prevent it from being inhaled. If you do inhale it, you will die.

Do yourself a favour and skip the nitrous. It is a "fake" power adder. Works until the bottle runs out. Get a real car (ie. not a Honda) that is either turbocharged from the factory or can be easily turbocharged. Trust me...Once you feel the push of boost you'll never even consider nitrous....
All the better if you are feeling the push of a rotary boosted to 10+ PSI...

Well that's depressing....Why? I mean, they're great economy grocery getters, but how can someone love an economy car?

Their not that bad... Come on you can make them look pretty cool. I had a Audi 5000 i think turbocharged... Pretty powerfull. But pretty old too, and Audi don't have a lasting electric system. Everything slowly started to break. But the motor ran really smoothly and the turbo gave it a nice boost...

You can put a dress on a pig, but at the end of the day, it's still a pig. What I'm saying is that you can put a lame body kit on a Honda Civic, but it's still a Honda Civic with a lame body kit. And all you've accomplished is wasting $2000 to make a Honda Civic into something it's not. It will never be a performance car. No matter what you do to it, how much money you throw into it, it is still an economy car. It is a terrible platform to build on. Doesn't make any sense.

Aaron you got the right words. I'm completely agree with you. I'm curently having a old car. I mean a old shit (Ford Escort96). Trust me when I will have the money, I will by a car that it's base on a rotary motor. I realy trust that kind of technologie. And Honda is an economical car like mine. It's a toy with good looking (when you invest some money) but with no power.

Hey guys!
Any makes of car are good when the car is new... better rent a brand new car (troublefree) it cost less than spending your money on a regular basis to buy new parts! It cost less!!! You can rent cheap, very cheap now, without any deposit, cashdown, zero interest fee and... the first 3 months are free!!! Companies are stuck with thousands of brand new vehicules... I started my life with a 1969 BMW (I bought it in 1979 for 100$) the "1600" model. Put a new starter (400$ because it's BMW...) and after 5 years, I realized all that money was totalizing the price of a brand new car... And I dont count the time I was stucked on highways... Engune blown, radiator fuming, the left front wheel felt apart... well, I realize fast I better using my time to make money instead of loosing my time and my money trying to rebuild old cars! This is my opinion, and it works since 20 years. Andre
