No problem at all (also, sorry for the sluggish reply). The part number for the bulbs is: gj6r-61-c95 I wouldn't bother buying them from Mazda, though, as they're ludicrously overpriced at most dealerships (like $11-ish per bulb -...

Did you actually pull the connector at both ends and test continuity from the connecting side, or did you test from the back-side of one or more of the connectors? If you did the latter, there's always a chance that you've got a bent, corroded, or missing pin. The likelihood is that something...

Thanks for the update. It's worth noting that Tascaparts.com is still selling all the OEM components.

Check the entire intake tract. Start at the MAF housing, and make sure that the silicone couplers are properly attached, not cracked or pinched, and sufficiently tight. Then move back towards the turbo from there. Check each coupler and connection on the way to make sure that nothing is...

Adjusting the preload seems like a recipe for disaster. If your car was functioning properly until something happened and you increased preload, if you manage to find whatever your problem is, you'll be overboosting to the moon. You've basically failed to diagnose the problem properly and...

It appears that nobody actually kept a copy of the how-to for this mod around on here (I did search, and found references, but no actual thread), so I figured I'd copy over a link from that other site (M247) before the information gets lost forever. So here goes:

This thread was originally created by @SJP0tato on MSF back in September of 2014. On my rear driver's window a few weeks ago, when fully rolled up rather than stopping it started making a loud/obnoxious grinding noise. Then during operation it'd make grinding/clicking noises too. Here's a quick...

This thread was originally created by @jrzy ms6 on MSF back in June of 2012. ok so i noticed trans fluid leaking and traced it to the rubber boot on the pressure plate on top of the trans. found some helpful threads to help pinpoint it but no "how to's" so hope this helps cause the dealer...

This thread was originally created by @GroceryGtr on MSF back in September 2016. Updated 6/7/18 - Added info for an aftermarket shim kit one of our enterprising members found at autozone Ok folks no pics as this is an easy process, but I will break it into a few different sections; symptoms...

This thread was originally created by @Axel907 on MSF back in February of 2014. This is my first clutch job so lets see how it goes. Pretty much every bolt you remove is gonna be either a 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, or 19 MM. So make sure to have those in wrenches and sockets. First off remove your...

This thread was originally created on MSF by @lilloui05 back in December of 2014. Hello All! I posted a picture of a fix I did to my MS6 shifter cables and How To was requested, so here we go! As always, I am not responsible for any damage you might do to your car. This will be a very loose...

This thread was originally created back on MSF by @myarbro1 in August of 2014: I recently asked if anyone knew jack about the CV joint on the driveshaft, aka propeller shaft, in our Speed6’s on FB. I have those answers and thought I would share what I have learned. To begin, my CV boot was...
