    Transmission Fluid

    Do you Tribodyn fans also use it in diff and transfer case? They appear to only make their limited slip fluids in TRI-EX not TRI-EX2. I think the TRI-EX doesn’t have ceramic and the TRI-EX2 does. Could you put limited slip additive into their TRI-EX2 gear oil?

    Transmission Fluid

    Me, I run Redline. It doesn't get particularly cold in Houston. Not very often anyway. I never heard of this TriboDyn stuff. In other threads, I've heard it stated that you should NOT use GL-5 oils in the trans, even if it says it is also GL-4 compatible. And the TriboDyn product says...

    CP-E Motor Mounts, Should you Buy?

    I'll put in my experience, FWIW on my MS6. On my previous motor, I had the ultra crappy AWR mounts, and balance shaft delete. The vibs were UNBEARABLE. For a while, I also had the non-standard Turbine Tech FRONT (fourth!) motor mount. And when I had that, I felt like I was just sitting on...

    Front Rear Diff Mount

    Just because I was curious about what I have looks like, since I don't remember, I went looking for pictures of the Turbine Tech unit. I found some using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Seems like it is a good part and too bad not available anymore. And probably doesn't show up used very...

    Front Rear Diff Mount

    As far as whether or not you need the front, I had the same basic idea that it was more optional than the rear. Though for what it's worth, Turbine Tech claimed that it was actually the front that was more important and never even made a rear mount. Though they did actually make stiffer...

    Tranny wouldn't go into gear!

    I was driving home, pulling away from a stop sign and was shifting from 1st to 2nd, and the shifter just wouldn't go into 2nd. I couldn't get it back into first either. I pulled over, tried every gear including reverse and it just wouldn't go into any gear. As I was trying to push it into a...

    Front Rear Diff Mount

    I just happened to come across this thread. Interesting video! I've got the TurbineTech, but, not available anymore. I don't recall if it has additional mount points like the SURE unit shown in the video, nor do I recall if it came with upgraded bolts. I got mine years ago, when the car was...

    Mazdaspeed 3 Skidplates/Trays aka get rid of the plastics

    I’ve got the MS6 version. And, it is good, I like it, glad I have it. But, the MS6 version has some design flaws. I worked around them and from the pictures, it looks like the MS3 version is better. Obviously I know the MS3 is a different car with a different frame. But, the trays look...

    Engine idle with CS 4” intake

    Well, I made some progress. I looked at the idea of building an airbox. And it could possibly help lower BATs a bit. But I am now doubtful it would help much with my idle issues. The reason being that I think the air in the wheel-well is probably turbulent on par with the current location of...

    Does anyone make catless downpipes anymore?

    The 5-bolt head on that eBay special even looks cast! Seems like a bargain to me.

    review: Fidanza Flywheel

    Back when the Fidanza light aluminum flywheel came out, I thought the consensus was that it was just too light for the AWD on an MS6 and just not very drivable. I guess that was bad info or yer a better driver, LOL. At any rate, that is why I went with the medium weight chromoly XClutch. I've...

    Want an intake manifold but need EGR for CA smog

    Thanks for the information. I googled for Texas. Vehicles prior to 2001 can have 2. After 2001 can only have 1

    Want an intake manifold but need EGR for CA smog

    I know that Cobb has said that they will no longer support bypassing emissions or something to that effect. I do not fully know what that means. People can still use old versions of their software yes? In any case, I have no EGR and no VCTS and no CEL codes with a Cobb AccessPort tune.

    To all the crap I’ve loved before…

    This thread has no real purpose other than to show what all crap I’ve wasted money on this damn car. And a trip down memory lane for me. Stuff that I had bought but no longer use. Most of the sold and given away stuff were done on MSO. AEM Cold Air Intake – gave away ATP turbo inlet pipe–...

    CP-e moving on from Mazdaspeed?

    Well, as you can see from my signature, vendors have got more of my money than I should have spent if I had half a brain. And if my signature had all the crap I bought but no longer have, it would twice as long. I had an ETS TMIC, DNP manifold, a Steedspeed manifold, a CP-e downpipe, and on...

    Resurfacing dual-mass flywheel

    Just FYI, when I was still running a stock flywheel, someone suggested using set-screws to bind the dual mass to prevent it from spinning. I put in the set-screws myself, took it to a shop that turns standard flywheels, and it seemed to come out okay. I did eventually switch to XClutch with...

    CP-e moving on from Mazdaspeed?

    Indeed, frankly I’m surprised the Corksport seems to still live primarily off the Speed platform. I know they do support newer Mazda models. But the Speed platform, after all these years seems to still be their bread and butter. So, yeah, our platform is long in the tooth. But at least we...

    CP-e moving on from Mazdaspeed?

    I haven’t heard a whole lot about CP-e’s intake manifold. But there is some MS6 guy on YouTube who claims to have the highest HP MS6, at least at the time of his video, at something like 850 HP. Anyway, he preferred the CP-e intake manifold over the JMF. (The CS wasn’t available at the time...

    CP-e moving on from Mazdaspeed?

    I wasn’t sure which forum to put this in, the 3/6 general section didn’t itself have a general section. Or a section to discuss non MSO vendors. So, I’ve noticed that CP-e is not an MSO vendor, which has been the case as long as I’ve been here. But I noticed some thinning of selection of...
