    Spill Valve Seized?

    Gracias, just to recap, take the spill valve out, remove the internals (hpfp is already back on engine) clean/lube little bit with red line injector cleaner, install leaving spill valve loose, prime fuel system, remove spill valve and fill with redline to bottom of the threads. Tighten. I’ll...

    Spill Valve Seized?

    Just realized I don’t hear the HPFP ticking last night while I was posting to a Facebook group (I know, I know). So I’m going to pull the internals, look again for marring, and reinstall.

    Spill Valve Seized?

    Hey all. My apologies for not replying as I did not get any notifications/emails that anyone replied. Either that, or my ADD-ass saw it, thought to myself I’ll reply later, then got distracted by a shinny object and forgot about it. I personally hate that and find it rude to not get at least a...

    Spill Valve Seized?

    Hi All, I am in the process of rebuilding my hpfp with E85 o rings. When trying to disassemble the spill valve, it was almost impossible to dismantle. Basically had to rig a setup with clamps I use for woodworking. I finally removed, cleaned, and replaced the o ring. The problem now is I...

    Replace Rear Main Seal?

    Holy Fuck long reply lmfao. Thank you two for responding. I’m sure it would have been fine, but went ahead and installed it recently. With working a lot and having no motivation, it took a while. On the upside, now that she’s back on the road, I’m definitely happy I’m back driving the Speed...

    Replace Rear Main Seal?

    Hey All, I am swapping out my clutch on my Gen2 sitting at 125k on the ODO. What is everyone’s thoughts on changing out the rear main seal whilst I’m in there? I got a main seal with the install tool, and the axle seals. The rear main looks fine when inspecting it and probably does not need to...

    Water Leak in Engine

    Hi All, I believe I figured this out, just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else. My Speed3 has been sitting in my driveway for about 5 months due to me needing to replace the throw out bearing. Finally got the time to do it this past weekend and when removing the intake and bell...

    Just Some Random ADD Thoughts/ Tire Recommendation

    Yeah definitely changed. The Nator facebook page is basically dead. Yeah they’re technically DOT approved slicks. Highly recommend. Awesome. I will check that out, thank you.

    Bluetooth Not Working

    Yes iOS. So if the problem is with the phone, there is no fix? I picked up one of those bluetooth recievers that connect to the aux jack, but it is not ideal.

    Just Some Random ADD Thoughts/ Tire Recommendation

    Hi All, I haven’t been as active on this site as the last one, and even then I was not the most active person. I have had my Speed for about 7 years. She has been paid off, retired to racecar duty, and I am sure there are others on here that are in the same situation as I was/am. I have been...

    Bluetooth Not Working

    Hey All, So my Bluetooth stopped working and I am unable to connect my phone to play music. I replaced the Bluetooth module and “reset” battery. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Shocks and Struts

    Awesome, thank you. I will definitely check those out. Last question; its also time for me to replace tires. I want to find something that will hold grip in 2nd gear as much as possible. I have narrowed my search down to; Falken RT660, Yokohama A052, A032R, Toyo R888r’s (people either love...

    Shocks and Struts

    Hi All, Haven't been active on here in a while due to retiring the Speed from daily to dedicated racecar. While I am at it, I do have to say that the Mazda is really a greatly engineered and produced vehicle. Especially considering we are at about 125k miles at around 390 hp and on the stock...

    What did you do to your ride today

    What did you do to your ride today

    Went to clean the valves today. 100k and the first time I’ve done this and the valves really don’t look a 1/4 bad as I thought they would. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
