About 15 years ago someone in the group helped me, more than anyone would have had any right to expect. It is a great group. Check into the Arkansas welcome thread, https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/arkansas-checking-in.391/ and I'll try to get ahold of the remaining locals to check back...

If you need a hand I just replenished my tools; I could give you a hand. You can rent a compression tester at Autozone so it wouldn't cost anything. Hopefully @Fozzy can help, too.

It won't fix it, but might slow it down a little. I'd replace the PCV valve. What about compression? You really need to get the compression numbers to find out what the health of that engine is. Also you can inspect the plugs while you're in there.

There's a few local speed owners near you; I'm in Maumelle (but often in Russellville), Kevin is in Russellville, and Fozzy is in Perryville. Oil consumption is kinda normal, like Raider said check for leaks under the car, put a sheet of cardboard down and check it in the morning. Wouldn't hurt...

Why is it more expensive in NZ? Tax on emails? Or email attachments?

I decided to wait, ended up getting used ricelands for like $150. Hopefully I'll have everything installed in 3 weeks; I'm off that week. Coilovers, front lower control arms with Powerflex ALK and front bushings, FSB bushings, adjustable rear toe and camber arms, rear lower control arms (and...

Why do you think your turbo is shitting the bed? Did you ever listen to it with the intercooler disconnected before the noise started? Is it using oil? Meeting boost targets?

I thought they posted some; I'm still looking. @phate @MS3brohanna

Supertech full synthetic FTMFW

I'm not sure. Possible stock Mazda 3 springs. It sits pretty low.

The springs are shit too. If I can bounce the front end with one hand and very little effort, they're worthless.

I can't imagine any factory struts not being blown to shit by now LOL

I'm replacing the steering rack and lines, lower control arms, and FSB bushings anyway. Also all the control arms and bushings in the rear, they're all rusted. It won't be a big deal. I can push the front end down with one hand, it makes me nervous to drive at highway speeds.

Shocks/struts are all blown. I'm ordering a decent set of coilovers soon, either Feal 441+ or Fortune Auto 510. In the meantime I need something to keep from bottoming out on every speed bump; I know both options are shit, but which would be LESS shit? https://a.co/d/8Iog5eh...

Holy shit what ever happened to Rob?

It should be right under the Off-Topic and New Member section.

Of course I'm buying from Damond. We have a press here in Arkansas, somewhere. But I'm looking forward to burning these bastards off.

Just ordered new LCA's. I will attempt to burn them out with my laser.

I don't think Fortune Auto makes anything for the genWIN unfortunately. Then again, isn't the only appreciable difference in the width of the rear shock? I seem to recall people adding spacers to make stuff work; I just can't recall what stuff (spacers in the Pu or the WIN?) Also, how much...

Does anyone have any experience (direct or otherwise) with Feal coilovers? I previously had Ground Control with Koni Yellows, went with 600f/700r for spring rates. They seemed a bit harsh but I fuckin loved it. I'm sure with better dampers I'd be more happier, so I'm looking for answers.
