    Mazdaspeed6 OEM strut and shock recommendations?

    +1 for Bilstein They will firm up the ride a slight bit, without seeming harsh. You will like the characteristics that bilstein valving improves on. Less squat, dive, and sway.

    Building for the road course...again

    I apologize in advance. I'm a bit high. Do you know the mileage on the motor? You might be able to help it and get away with some SeaFoam treatment. Or whatever the Canadian version of seafoam is. Or some sort of heavy duty carbon build up cleaner that you can run. Its only a few bucks for...

    Raider's Neverending love/hate with Christine

    Hmmm..... On mine I am running 500 front and 500 rear. The front is deliciously stiff, the rear is too bouncy. The rear is oversprung for the weight. A better setup would be 500 front, about 350-400 rear. On the factory kw v3's that I still have on, spring rate was 400 front, rear was...

    Transmission noise

    Sounds like the dual mass flywheel died. Is it hard to shift through gears with the engine on?

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    Hey dude! Speed has been in hibernation since Jan. No work done to it yet since my garage is a mess, and I've been driving/fixing the damn diesel truck and my mother in laws expedition, which has also had 28 years of neglect by bad mechanics. The shit I've found on that truck is incredible...

    Hurricane season is roughly 6 mons long. It's not the quantity of storms, but how devastating the few storms are. They bring rain, coastal flooding, and let's not forget countless tornadoes. The last few years, hurricanes have been hitting N and W FL with a vengeance. I've never experienced...

    I mean boost is actually good at higher elevations, keeps your engine more responsive than NA. HOWEVER it's at the cost of producing so much more heat inside your engine bay during those low speed hauls. No bueno long term...

    You're going to get a lot of utility out of it. Great choice by going v8 over a turbo 6. If you ever tow or haul anything, you will understand. Congrats!!!

    Our wheel wells are too small, even with your lift. Stepping down to 17s will give you a little more sidewall meat. You might be able to go with a little more sidewall than total stock diamater, but not more than 10mm's probably. Anything more and you are going to have to deal with rubbing...

    Boost leak tester… possible failure

    That bike pump won't push the volume of air that you need to do a proper boost leak test. You will need an air compressor with a decent capacity. Think at least 3 gallons. Next, remove that Schrader valve, and install a pneumatic fitting with a ball valve. The ball valve will make flooding...

    Inconsistent shifting feel on shifter

    That button is the breather vent for the transmission. It looks like you might have a bit of bleeding coming out of the pivot shaft seal. I would clean up that whole area and see if it returns. As far as your uneven shifting, what kind of fluid went into your trans? I ask because our...

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    Most importantly, YOU are ok. That situation could have easily gone another way. Thank you for sharing, and yes you should replace them as a pair.

    No speedometer, abs light on , traction light on, power steering light on

    I've got the same issue on my gen2. Power steering, ABS, and tractiontion control have been non existent for almost 2 months. Haven't had time to examine it yet. Been tuning up our truck so I can swap dailies and fix the mazda after new years. Did your step son notice any odd behavior before...
