    RPF1s!!!!!!!

    just ordered a set of 17x9 +45. i think i've read so many posts that i'm confusing myself and can't really tell what i might need to do depending on tire size. i ordered 5mm spacers that i assume i'll put on the front. i have stock suspension for now. at most what i'd do is perhaps some...

    odd vibration at 2500 rpms'ish

    Yeah it goes away when I engage the clutch. Maybe it was more pronounced since I was in rush hour and in that range longer coasting. Glad to hear it’s nothing out of the ordinary. With all my changes at once I hear and feel all kinds of new things and it’s hard to tell what’s fine and what’s...

    odd vibration at 2500 rpms'ish

    so might have found a post about this on .... the other forum. if you google 'mazdaspeed3 transmission vibration' it's the first hit. i don't wanna link it cuz i'm not sure i supposed to. but the gist of it is, according to one feller: "Just so you guys know, it's a harmonic issue with the...

    odd vibration at 2500 rpms'ish

    quick background: installed Damond passenger side mount and trans mount. already had a stage 2 cpe rmm. did a few other bolt-on mods (downpipe and tmic). i'm now hopefully finishing up some tuning with Hypnotic. this was all done 473 miles ago. have been noticing in the last few days...

    Tired of my car already...

    I’m selling a V2 for what I think is a fair price. It’s in the sale section here. For that you can unlock the car and either use an OTS tune or get a tune. Well worth it in my opinion. I used an OTS tune for years. Just bought a tune and wow what a difference. But even an OTS unlocks some...

    Tired of my car already...

    This sort of happened to me. Have had mine since new (2012) and initially did intake, RMM and AP with some OTS tune. It was fine. Eventually did internals and exhaust but that was after 4 years. Paid the car off last year and only now in the last few months did I upgrade with some bit of...

    Anyone else love/hate logging for tune?

    Damn dude. You have a committed wife. Good for her! My wife helped suggest roads but the end. Plus with our toddler that wouldn’t work. And yeah it does get the nerves up. After my run I drove home going around 40mph even in the 55 zone. Was a rush and my guilt encouraged me to drive slower...

    Anyone else love/hate logging for tune?

    There is a race track ‘near’ here but it’s about an hour and I dunno if they let the public use it for anything. Hadn’t checked. There are places that will dyno the car and really that’s all I need but for $100 it ain’t worth it. We’ll see what Rob says. He requested a 4th gear pull and so I...

    Anyone else love/hate logging for tune?

    Ha! I think my log is 15 seconds. Subtract a few as I didn’t stop the log til I had slowed quite a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone else love/hate logging for tune?

    Thanks for the details :) I’ve done logs before but that was 5 years ago and have moved since then. So I lost my road that I had used. I nearly stress over a potential deer running out than a cop. I stressed less about the MAD cuz I won’t be doing 106 during that log. But yeah it took a bit...

    Anyone else love/hate logging for tune?

    Trying to get my first real log in for my new Hypnotic tune. I went out tonite with the goal of getting my WOT log. I found a place to get my MAF log earlier which, while annoying, was not as bad as the WOT. Trying to find a road that isn't a race track (or some place with a dyno) is nearly...

    Rattling in the door panel...wtf!

    So turns out, even though that dime was odd and probably not helping, there is still a metallic rattle in the door! Wtf? No idea what it could be now. Ugh. Guess the door panel comes off again. Maybe I’ll find a 20 in there or something. Anyone ha e any ideas on other areas to check? Sent...

    Rattling in the door panel...wtf!

    Bought it new. Had like 6 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Again I’m glad it was that and not something wrong with the car but then I kick myself for not taking 10 minutes anytime in the last 7 years to do so. Better late than never I guess! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rattling in the door panel...wtf!

    I have a 2012 and have had a rattling sound in the driver's side door panel since new. It was legit the only rattle I've ever heard in any Mazda I've owned (this is #3). I shrugged it off thinking one day I'ma get in there and tighten down whatever was loose. Skip ahead 7 years. Since the...
