    Raider's Neverending love/hate with Christine

    Our wheel wells are too small, even with your lift. Stepping down to 17s will give you a little more sidewall meat. You might be able to go with a little more sidewall than total stock diamater, but not more than 10mm's probably. Anything more and you are going to have to deal with rubbing...

    Boost leak tester… possible failure

    That bike pump won't push the volume of air that you need to do a proper boost leak test. You will need an air compressor with a decent capacity. Think at least 3 gallons. Next, remove that Schrader valve, and install a pneumatic fitting with a ball valve. The ball valve will make flooding...

    Inconsistent shifting feel on shifter

    That button is the breather vent for the transmission. It looks like you might have a bit of bleeding coming out of the pivot shaft seal. I would clean up that whole area and see if it returns. As far as your uneven shifting, what kind of fluid went into your trans? I ask because our...

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    Most importantly, YOU are ok. That situation could have easily gone another way. Thank you for sharing, and yes you should replace them as a pair.

    No speedometer, abs light on , traction light on, power steering light on

    I've got the same issue on my gen2. Power steering, ABS, and tractiontion control have been non existent for almost 2 months. Haven't had time to examine it yet. Been tuning up our truck so I can swap dailies and fix the mazda after new years. Did your step son notice any odd behavior before...

    AWD MS3

    There was. I don't know much else about it, but there definitely was an "atenza" that was gen2, AWD, non turbo, RHD. Not sure for the gen1 but I'd imagine there might be one too. OP has put a lot of time and love into his project. Nice build!

    TB Performance MS3 Front Traction Bar Review

    I considered taking my grinder to some of the bolt cup, that's the only spot where the under piping kit touches. The materials are supposed to be steel, so grinding a bit off for clearance won't harm the structural integrity of that bar. I never got around to it. I took it off for some...

    TB Performance MS3 Front Traction Bar Review

    @GCPhotographers I found some. These are from 2019. TB Performance traction bars on both front and rear. The piping is the HTP under engine piping kit. The hotpipe would just sit on the edge of the passenger bolt cup. It seemed stable so I drove it a while. The piping did get a small...

    Suspension Questions

    Bilstein for the win! Whether it's track or street, their rebound valving is what makes the ride smooth yet sporty. Having fiddled with a couple of adjustable coilovers, I wouldn't waste my time or money on them again. Proper damper valving and spring rates will make a bigger difference than...

    Need Advice on Damaged Speed

    Been in your shoes before. Best thing to do, is ask yourself what the car is worth TO YOU. Not the value in blue book or trade in value. If you let the insurance total it, you'll get peanuts for it. You could part it out, but that is very tedious. Been there done that too. I got into a...

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    The CD player is important to me. I have a LOT of underground music that isn't on streaming apps or is out of print. My half bro recommended a Kenwood unit he got for an old car, but for now it's extremely low on the priority list.

    Hi, have you met Lilith?

    I haz 12 ton, but it needs a new hydraulic jack. You gotta get real creative in supporting the control arms with some of these presses.
