    How often do you change brake fluid?

    yeah wasn't quite sure when that would matter. it does get cold here (not arctic, but cold) but i won't be driving the mazda in the winter anyways. should be good with that super dot. #modsList

    How often do you change brake fluid?

    alright, time for someone to hold my hand: Pentosin 1224116 Dot 4 LV Brake Fluid or Pentosin 1204116 Super Dot 4 Brake Fluid? i'm assuming we can use DOT4. not sure if LV is necessary or not.

    How often do you change brake fluid?

    I’ve never heard of Pentosin. I’m not really up on the brake fluid game. I’ll look into that for the speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How often do you change brake fluid?

    thanks all. i'm gonna do it myself. my biggest crutch is not having a 2nd person handy. however, i have a new neighbor who may be willing to assist. i do have an auto bleeder for the mazda (which i also have to do) but i'm sure i'll fuck that up. the honda requires (or strongly suggests)...

    How often do you change brake fluid?

    Been calling around on behalf of my wife’s CR-V to get the brake fluid changed. The maintenance minder system (Honda’s internal system) says it’s time. I don’t know how it figures that but I know it’s not just based on miles. A couple places just gave me a price. Two, however, wanted to know...

    Low temp when cruising?

    No trouble codes. Maybe I just didn’t pay as close of attention in the past. Seems I’m just paranoid in my old age. Thanks all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Low temp when cruising?

    Something that I don’t think had been happening til recently. When driving around town or city driving my coolant temp is around 180-185. Higher when at a stoplight of course. But now when on the interstate my temp is down to 170’ish after a minute or so. That seems odd to me. Anyone else...

    Exhaust pop when shifting

    oh i do enjoy it. i sorta snicker every time it does it as it's typically unexpected. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't hurting anything along the way.

    Exhaust pop when shifting

    i think you're right. just curious if anyone else feels that the pop creates any back pressure that affects the turbo.

    Exhaust pop when shifting

    ever since my car has been tuned (thanks, Rob!) every so often the exhaust will pop during a shift. doesn't have to a be a very heavy throttle to make it happen. @JohnnyTightlips told me it was cool and that i should like it. and i do :D it typically occurs during 3-4 shift. i watched some...

    MS3 as a weekend car?

    my speed has just over 50k miles on it. it's a '12. It's a summer car. i suppose you could call it a weekend car. i drive it when i can and the distance is more than 2 miles to get an actual heat cycle in. there are times where i don't drive it for weeks. i use my truck as my daily since it...

    Better fitting for OCC?

    started the car today and even when closed there is a tiny pull of vac. so likely it's just not sealing. too bad i didn't check that initially. der. hopefully no harm done. i'm likely just going to replace the valve with a plug and just take it out to let it drain every change (which is...

    Better fitting for OCC?

    So last year I replaced some pieces of the OCC system I have (JBR). Replaced the lines and the petcock fitting. I hated it. Was always hard to open and never sure if it was tight enough. Was also starting to rust. So I tried to duplicate what the newer kits have. Thing is, changes oil today...

    I hate to be this guy but I have a wheel/tire question

    One thing that makes me nervous to roll my rears (haven't had to do it yet per still on stock suspension even with wider tires) is water. when you roll those fenders you basically create a well for water to sit in and that makes me nervous about corrosion. it certainly depends on where you...
