yep car work now

Better photos for someone's enjoyment

Waiting for my new part to arrive but we definitely were on the right track on motor mounts... this would most certainly be the cause of the noise This is the passenger motor mount: Thanks to this video I happened to stumble upon too:

Welp seems to be back now. I've been driving it around a few days and it's as the same as it was before. Thinking it's center shaft but I removed the axle but don't see any thing inherently wrong with it except for the play seen here: Think it's tranny related? May bleed some trans fluid to...

Sorry forgot to mention it in my reply, the speed3 is a 2.5 swap so the block doesn't have location for it.

I've had the oil pressure regulator recommended to me, and I felt like it was a good idea since my speed3 takes it's oil directly from the spin on oil filter conversion and I felt like that amount of oil pressure would be a bit too much. The OPR is limiting it right now to 45-50 psi

UPDATE: CAR IS FIXED!! It would have been fixed a week ago if only usps would delivery my package in-time. It was the rear motor mount, and holy moly I never felt the car feel that smooth. This is my first manual car so I did not know the difference. I switched to the e-focus motor mount but...

Purchased a rear engine mount since I believe that will be the most drastic change. The car had it's balance shaft deleted and since I daily this car, I did not want to go the poly urethane route. Read a forum post about using a focus rear motor mount thats solid rubber (CM5Z-6068-A) and bought...

Heya, I had some things come up recently and haven't had the chance to take a look under the car while its on. But have you seen bad trans mounts or motor mounts creating these symptoms? Just wondering because I'm honestly clueless. It's only when there's acceleration and never on idle.

Another update: I drove again today and it does go away after being on the highway. Seems whatever wants to be centered gets to be once it's rolling for a while. Then hitting hills don't cause the noise unless you go over dips in the road that rapidly go back up in elevation like I mentioned...

Update: noise indeed does not go away after driving for a while, it certainly used to though. New detail though on this morning's drive, when there was a sudden downward force on the car (there's a dip in the road that goes back up hill rapidly) that humming noise gets loud from the force. I'm...

Yeah, though it doesn't feel sluggish and it definitely isn't a crazy amount of load on the car when it is going up a hill. Since the momentum of going down first helps a ton going back up, it doesn't slow down while I'm in 2k nor am I giving it alot of throttle either, maybe like 20%-30%, It's...

Just went down to check it out, coolant is ok, engine oil is in the middle and ok, power steering fluid appears to be above max which is not ideal, no trans leaks, there is a known leak coming from one of the turbo lines but this was known before the noise was being made. Although I haven't...

Heya, so it's a bit of a weird one, this noise only occurs when going up hills. When there's a straight there's hardly anything. I've recorded a video for better explanation: Before said noise used to go away. Things related to this that I've done would be: Koni Orange struts CV axle change...

Heya! This modification is for speed3's that didn't come with the auto dimming rear view mirror from factory. My model is a 2007 Mazdaspeed3 Sport, and I've done a different modification before for the pop-up screen; a lot of harness wiring diagram's will be borrowed from that post. The driving...

I didn't even know that someone made this! Though I'm no where near 75 posts, but I may try to make one myself since I think it'd be really cool to hang up on my wall instead. I've been inspired

I heard from an old wizard that curses can't transfer... I think.

Original Build Log: https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/working-on-android-auto-with-navigation-unit.16174/#post-113334 It's been a long time since I had finished the project, I lost track of time and forgot to write this out, but anyway! A lot of this is going to be taken from my build...

In the end, running this instead with a cheap VTA catch can. Lots of hoses everywhere but certainly works for me. Getting an in-line check valve for the VTA filter, will be running it through a short hose. I'm still looking for some cleaner way to make the air filter a check valve by finding...

Possibly timing chain tensioner? Or the VVT Actuator, but I'm just spit balling. The VVT noise goes away and is only heard from cold start, your is consistent. Could always be the timing chain! But that's honestly me being hopeful. I hope you keep us informed on what it is. I hate knock knock...
