    How-to: Mazdaspeed 3 Mazdaspeed 6 Pivot Shaft Seal, Bearing, Breather Replacement

    If you are crunched for time you can order the plate with bearing and seal already installed. It also comes with a new boot in case you have a damaged one. You’ll still have to order breather and hammer it in. I had to order thru Tasca parts as my usual online Mazda places didn’t have it...

    Oil Pan Removal Question

    The pan should go back on with a mallet. When I did a bsd on my ‘10 a few years back. I didn’t have to loosen anything else. Just popped it back in. Also threw a Fumoto valve on as well and never had to worry about taking the drain plug out. Ran that setup for years.

    Rest in Peace, Mike Shaw aka VIP.

    Condolences to Mike’s family and sorry for your loss @Raider. Grieving is never easy. It looks like you valued your time with him, so hopefully in time the positive memories will help with healing.

    street car gone road race

    Should be fine, may take a little longer to get up to temp, at least if it’s cold out. I ran a plate off the top of the oil filter housing, bypassing the coolant system, into a thermostat plate. So I was able to tap my oil pressure/temp post oil cooler. Again, tmic gave me plenty of room to...

    street car gone road race

    Look so like it’s all coming along @gotovato. Are you running a thermostat in-line with the oil cooler? I ran an oil cooler for a few years and with a tmic was able to route the lines out to the fender and around the front. Looks like you fmic plumbing would be in the way for that though.

    Mazdaspeed Front seat bolt size and thread pitch
