Wheel Lugs and replacement. Don't buy any RockAuto choices. Found out will not work. Mazda OEM are available, some OEM web parts site don't list any just hub assy. So after a frustrating experience. Axles stuck (20T press) in hubs on Both front axles. I decided that OEM was my last hope. More...

What is your dollar decision point? New motor vs repair. Do work yourselves or mechanic shop. If you are determined to do as cheap as possible? Then first order is if valves have kissed pistons. You can then determine costs better at that point.

I can tell you my 07 MZ3 is 3180 lbs 1/2 tank of gas, me (195), stock interior, stock front crashbar, fmic, stock wheels 225/40x18 tires, stock interior, no cats downpipe, tube exhaust manifold and stock exhaust, full carbon fiber hood air ductwork deleted (huge difference), carbon fiber rear...

Sorry for your loss. I agree on your decision. Only if you are going to turn into a spare driver and prepared to spend $$$. I hope your next ride is as good as we know our speed 3's are.

Glad you are here! Double check all three alternator bolts are installed, air cover for cooling not broken off. Accessory belt tensioner bearing for pulley not rumbling. Has valve cover been off yet so you can check cam chain tension and VVT? Always a good check on current state since it's a...

Guessing you looked at this thread. https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/good-suspension-options.6563/ Rockauto in stock B6 are 224.79ea, B8 are 232.79ea. Not cheap, I do like the B8 ride on my speed6 with the stock springs. Watch out online stores when selling Bilsteins... I had to wait 4...

I have B16's & coilovers springs set at minimum drop. It's about a inch both ends lower than stock. I have another completely stock 08 MS3 bought new and the difference is huge in ride stiffness. Even if I run minimum damping it is still much greater. I'm not complaining at all.. I knew going...

Thank you for the present Will go towards Damond MS6 engine motor set.

Are you at some point offering just latches and different lengths of stud posts?.

Excellent looking email for announcement! All success as possible! Thank you...

This may help. In my complete rebuild process when I removed the throttle body I found this gasket failure by PO. After rebuild I was having odd throttle results, finally figured out the throttle body actuator motor was sticking in various areas in the total butterfly movement. Vid attached is a...

Depends, since your coming from the CX5, you had better go to a speed 3 for sale and drag the family along. My early days with 2 children was a Volvo 740 wagon and when I went to a Dodge Caravan was no going back. It will be a tight fit for 2 + 2 + dogs. If the vehicle is likely yours and one...

Crate motor maybe? Your core would help in $$.

So my history with speed 6's in our neck of the woods. I live @ i5 half way between Portland and Seattle...My story on a long term investment in a speed 6. Finding one in far North West USA will be a long process. Luck of course could be different but from my personal perspective bought one in...

Just thought to add since I found this post with G search in my quest of same question. It is a PIA....Manual is cryptic as usual on removal of rear shock upper mount brackets. 3 bolts need to be removed and none of the bolts are a straight shot for access. Assembly line install is why the...

Sounds like a great choice! Partner happy, and a new to you ride with copious history! Your description "a older gentleman" ha! Sounds surprisingly like my son using option to buy my gen1. I have a 6 sitting in yard and using for parts. Nice and handy but apparently the longer it sits the more...

So Pacific Northwest went from rain to snow to freezing rain to rain.... 3 hasn't been driven much with stablemate 6 in the family. Battery tender was disconnected upon hood closure. So today was back to rain day....and interior needed fresh air... So a daylight Xmas light tour of my "tuning"...

This site looks interesting. Was surprised that speed 6 is only listed after you search for plain 6 fitment. https://thehidfactory.com/

The site pictures are nothing compared to actually hands on unboxing and seeing the shining excellent pipes. Now my chassis is straight, but with the all bolt flanges was worried on fitment. CS uses a oem style of cut in half donut on the downpipe to cat connection for alignment to allow any...
