Hey man!! Are you still running your car at the Time Attack/Mosport on Aug 24-25th? The son & I might come down to see some racing on the Saturday if you are there. Is there spectator stands at DDT, or just trackside at the wall? I can register, but I cant see admission anywhere.

Welcome, fellow money pit friend!!

For me the key program is the end advantage. Here is the link to the Mazda as built table(s) for Forscan if required... Linky - then click on "as built for all other Mazda vehicles" in left column The forum is excellent for FoST and RS guys, mustangs and F150. The "other" cars require a bit of...

I am looking for a multi vehicle scanner platform that will give me the ability to do more than the units from Amazon or Auto centre stores. I need more than a code reader that can reset an oil change light. Live data/logging, bi-directional, run system tests, CAN, P/C/U & B codes. I will...

I am waiting delivery of my AutoEnginuity interface.

I spent a number of years operating Stamping presses and in Die Maintenance I can shed some light on that as well... Although it isnt common across a mass of vehicles, sometimes there is a flaw in the metal that can cause early corrosion issues affecting 1 or a small run of vehicles (depends on...

Does this opens up a lot more venues for you to run? Was the instructor really helpful to give you heads up or track pointers or are they just clearing you for track use?

Im in precautionary mode so... Today I had to pull the car out of the garage so I can install my hoist. I jumped the starter relay in the fuse box to build oil pressure. I could hear the VVT actuator with every revolution *clack-clack-clack* for about 10 sec, then it went quiet. I continued...

Wow, thats great. Youve been dealing with this for quite a while. Any idea as to what the culprit was?

Some great info in @JohnnyTightlips thread about head/block/rebuild stuffs <<HERE>>

Welcome to the forum. Lots of info here if you search around. Also, if you invest in a metal membership you can find repair manuals, wiring diagrams and the buy/sell section. All potentially helpful for your future VVT endeavors. Here is THE thread for VVT replacement provided by one of our...

Good to know. Axles are one of the hardest parts to source for the MS6 as they age.

I had an issue where the water would weep back from the drain outlet and soak the foam seal at the firewall. I then applied a zip tie to force the water to form a drip before reaching the firewall. If the drain is working properly, it should not drain into the interior. If plugged, it can...

If you have a sunroof, it is possible a drain tube had plugged causing rainwater to leak into the car. Also possible is the A/C system leaking due to a plugged HVAC case drain. Check to see if water flows out the drain tube on the firewall or try clearing it by shoving a piece of wire up if...

Are you sure your meter is set properly, or working properly? You should be poppin fuses or suffering CarBQ if power was shorting to ground.

I dont think that would be a sign of a bad clutch. Bad clutch would be slippage or burnt smells. Sometimes shift smoothness can be affected too. Sounds to me like you might have a wheel sensor issue or possibly a wheel bearing going bad. The traction control and ABS are closely related systems...

Main harness and Fuse box are an integrated single unit. Dealers wont do much when it comes to cutting and splicing.

If they are replacing the harness with the fuse box, then they will have to remove the dash harness with the main that runs to the fusebox iirc.

Do you want the good news or the bad news? Well, the good news is I have coming to me a 3bar MAP and adapter harness from CWT. I also have a Corksport group51 battery tray ordered to facilitate install of the 4" intake still in its box in the trunk. From this point I could add an S4 and a tune...

Turbocharging isnt about just adding a bigger turbo because you dont have the right type of fuel. You can do that, but it only works within a window. Choosing the right turbo for your requirements is all about efficiency. The right turbo will blow the doors off a wrong one. Here are some...
