I call it hibernation. I only go outside if I have to, lol. Im thinking of taking my car for a final fill up on Tuesday. After that the daily highs are below the recommended temps for my tires. Its been a storied year for you. Keep it up, there is always next year to prepare for. Ill see...

The other point I forgot to mention is Bilstein Struts for the Speed6 are monotube. Monotube is the only strut you should look for. Twin tube dont have as long of a service life.

If your springs are still working as required I wouldnt replace them. I would consider Bilstein B6 struts as they are designed for OEM ride height. They may have somewhat differnt valving to OEM, but I dont think it will kill you. If you require springs, look for a spring shop to roll you a...

Whatever you do you will need an alignment in the end. First I would look for components that are obviously worn or damaged. But if you dont know what you are looking for, might be best to send it to a mechanic. An easy way to find problems is to use a pry bar and look for slop or movement in...

I will be putting the car away for winter soon. So its time for final detailing and care. Started with the interior work, cleaning and protecting. The drivers footwell got shampooed and the seats got some needed rejuvenating and cleaning. I love the smell of a cleaned interior.

Welcome, Make a thread about your Autocross endeavours. You could add your experiences here and there are some knowledgeable Speed racing folk too.

Some of the front lighting is grounded thru a connection on the left front subframe rail located behind the left headlight. Its a white plastic rectangular tab. Check and clean that bolt. Its an easy first check. For access to schematic I would suggest you donate (click Donate in bar above)...

Kinda reminds you...Winter is coming ;)

I love it. 168kph before the corner, opposite lock at 100...that'll make your butt pucker, LOL

What you have heard has merit for sure. At this stage, we will have to live with it. I do think that Ford effectively stiffed Mazda with the bill...Mazda gets the bad press while Ford totes the Ecoboost as a FoMoCo winner. However the Ecobang is bogged down with the design being Ford-ified...

I have this for scaping gaskets... Lisle Gasket scraper Its a dream! Then I follow up with light emery if needed.

I believe the gauge is looking for a signal from a Hall effect or magnetic sensor in the form of a square tooth signal or oscillation. A pressure sensor would be a variable voltage signal. This is a assumption as I am not an engineer...just a geek.

Sloww pretty much covered it, you can have pressure and low flow. Pressure requirements also change with boost levels in the intake pipe. I am looking for a replacement for what was originally in the trinket-y AEM monitor kit. I can set high and low flow parameter alarms with the gauge which...

I ran into this problem before...The turbine meter in the AEM WMI monitor gauge deformed. Originally I mounted it in the engine bay and thought perhaps the heat was the culprit. I purchased a new one 4 years back and mounted it right off the pump in the front left behind the fog lamp (ambient...

I would like to see this in action/reality, but I havent been able to find any evidence. I seriously need to go this route if I were to go PI.

Schematics have AWD solenoid with 2 wires coloured R & R/B and temp sensor 2 wires with LG/B & LG Perhaps you have a connector for something else with 5 wires?

I dont recall for sure, but the 2 wire should go to a temp sensor on the left side of the diff. The other connector operates the diff clutch. I dont recall if its 5 wires.

The job of replacing the VVT is not a difficult undertaking. There are a lot of parts to remove to make access. I find Mazdas easy to work on, there always seems to be a way to get a tool in to do the job, but you cant be afraid to remove parts to get at what you want to work on. This is very...

As a part of my list of things to do on my holidays this year I chose to repair the VVT. I opted to purchase the OEM upgraded kit from CW Turbochargers. Then I added ARP cam & crank bolts and a Cometic timing cover gasket. Generally speaking everything went as planned. I assembled the parts...

Its great you got it finally sorted out, and you are better off with DM and Will!
