Hey guys, I'm gonna change the HID low beams for the first time since new and realized I haven't changed a single bulb in this car other than license plate and fog bulbs. I'm confused about the rear light assembly. Parts explosion shows 2 bulbs but I don't what those are for. -Reverse...

My ancient OEM CAI filter was starting to look a little fuzzy afer 20 years so I ordered a replacement dry filter from Damond Motorsports. 70mm diameter inlet. The inside of the original filter looked fine but I didnt wanna take a chance. The thing barely even fits in the space. Its at...

Hey Gents, My 2007 has 170k miles. No engine mods. Original CLUTCH! I am on my 2nd stock turbo which is now leaking oil badly. Trans is soaked and its dripping onto the heat shield of the exhaust manifold. Is it safe to install a Cork Sport 3/6 CST4 Turbo or equivalent and upgraded HPFP...

Took me 14 years...but it finally cracked at the weld. https://youtube.com/shorts/bfc6GHQEPxA?feature=share

Am trying this for first time. Lots of hype around it. 176k mile on my baby. Walmart is cheapest place to get it.

I took the bumper off and tried to straighten the AC condenser fins. It was more or less a failure. The fins are so thin and incredibly delicate that they would just break with the slightest pressure. I tried a razor blade and then ended up with a tiny pointed tool. Some just had to be torn...

Had the bumper off and had nubrite handy so I washed the AC condenser and the exposed radiator.

If youre looking for new OEM type bump stops and dust shields for your rear struts you can get them from Febest using Bp4K-28-910D / Bp4K28910D on Amazon . I think Mazda only sells the bump stop but not the dust shield.

Is this an o-ring or something more sinister?

I had two OEM horns on my car for years. Both of horns were sounding almost dead so I looked around and found 2 Mazda (Ford) horns with bracket for a different model year and they fit and are loud as shit for $27 delivered on amazon. Way better than crap aftermarket horns. Been down that road a...

90% people won't cross shop these two setups. I know. But after 10 years on V3s, two returns for repair of the rears (over 80k-90k miles), failed repair of the fronts and maybe because the ride deteriorated as the fronts wore out over the years I got tired of KW. Maybe I just got tired of...

My 2007 has 165k miles on the original injectors and ignition coils. Still gets same gas mileage as when new. My 2nd OEM turbo is leaking like a sieve and I want to go to a Corksport CST4. I know I need an HPFP internals upgrade but do I need new coils and injectors (and even LPFP) for sure...

Do I use the rear OEM bump stop with the rear Bilstein b12 Prokit struts? The instructions are barebones. I know the front Bilstein struts have internals bump stops. Not sure about the rear.

I'm inclined to install the Bilstein B12 Prokit which comes with Eibach lowering springs but the drop is minimal compared to what Ive had for 10 years. Has anyone tried Bilstein dampers with Swift springs?

FYI Whiteline has lifetime warranty so if youve got a few years on your Whiteline parts and the original receipt they wil send you new parts for just shipping cost. I installed Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing caster correction 8 years ago and they just me new ones for $25. I was...

Im starting to smell oil...about 50k miles ago I had to change the OEM turbo as it was leaking onto the manifold and startiong to smell like burned oil. Im at 160k miles now. THis is cheap copy of the OEM turbo I bought from Autoanything. Its usually wet under the air intake pipe but not...

I'm at 159k miles... I'm worried the calipers aren't even working anymore..

Hey if anyone has their car up off the ground can you look at your passenger side CV joint where it enters the intermediate shaft and tell me if you're able to jiggle it like this? I just changed the intermediate shaft bearing and we checking for oil leaks and noticed i was able to jiggle it...

Ive had Kw V3 on my 2007 speed3 for maybe 8 years. The rear struts have been in for rebuilding once in that time. I am pretty sick of the harsh ride around town so I called KW and they told me they had 2 options for softer springs for the kit. The KW V3 kits come with Front 400.05 LBS./in...

Ok ya worthless maggots, here are some instructions. Feel free to add your thoughts. -You do not need a hydraulic press but it's preferable to a hammer. -You cannot install the the shaft into the new bearing and carrier on a hydraulic press without using a section of pipe or something to raise...
