So I tried searching and still not sure who to go with. Ii want a drop in replacement, if possible and not looking for anything more than stock output. One guy said the Walbro 255, stock number GSS342 would work, but looking at it I don't see looking anything like the stock one. Also the sites...

2008 Mazdaspeed 3. I got 3 gallons of gas, turned to get back on the highway, then engine stalled. When first trying to restart, for a split second it sounds like it wants to start, but doesn't and then just turns over and over. Only DTCs are p0140, p0441, and p0446. Have had evap problems...

So when at a stop or going slow, turning the wheel causes a strange groaning from the front end, sounds like the right side. I jacked up car but didn't see anything. Wondering if this is common or anyone else experienced it? I don't want to throw parts at it but clueless where to start.

So two of my tires are shot, other two are like new. Bought the car 5 months ago and haven't had tire issues till now. Just realized my tires are not factory size but a common size speed owners buy. I'm not a tire guy, never have been. Since I have 225 45 18s on the back, going to stat with...

So I did my first oil change a few months ago after driving 4,000 miles. I've read all the stories of high oil consumption and every speed needing a catch can. At 4k, my dipstick showed full...like practically no oil loss. I bought a OCC and everything needed but kept putting it off...

Not sure what happened exactly. Bought my car 3 months ago, and immediately starting ordering bolt on parts over the first two months. Spent a lot of time on forums, reading and posting. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and I parked my car and driving my Ford ranger. I don't know, just...

Read a lot of past threads on other forums about egr deletion or those who unplugged it. Some people claim it caused a drop in miles per gallon. Pretty sure others said they noticed some other negative effects too but cant remember. I understand the value in reducing carbon and crap into the...

Read a thread about a guy who said he put rtv sealant all around the duct on the bottom of the hood. Claimed it reduced bats a little. I don't plan on ever going fmic so interested in trying to improve it. I looked at mine and didn't really see anywhere to seal. Anyone with a gen 1 do anything...

So in my quest to try and figure out why my car isn't taking gas at the pump, I decided to start with the so called evap filter. First step is just to Jack up the passenger side rear. As seen in the picture, it is supposed to be attached to the filler neck and mine was zip tied. Once you...

Potential problem. Went to pump gas at a pump I've used before and it acted like tank was full. As soon as I pulled the handle, pump would shut off. If I pumped super slow, it would work but I could hear fuel or vapor filling up in the filler neck. I was able to get 8 gallons in and left...

I know supporting our vendors is a great thing, but some of the prices offered for the exact same parts on Ebay and Amazon make it pretty tempting. Crazy thing is the price for a new turbo on Ebay, 100 dollars??? I don't see how that is right. I see tips, downpipes, turbos, fmics, banjo...

08 speed 3. I bought this a few months ago and it has a mazdaspeed 3 inch catback that I was told was a magnaflow offered hy Mazda. It's old and I dont have pics but can get them. Anyways, the muffler on this catback is right before the rear axle. There is only an exhaust tip after the axle...

Did some searching and see threads saying either a pcv valve or check valve can be used. It seems like more threads push a one way check valve... I ordered a check valve but the seller shipped a 3/8. Pretty sure I can't put the smaller one in without causing a problem. Is it ok to use a pcv or...

Want to buy hfpf right now. Can get brand new for 315, or a used pump with internals that have 500 miles for 350. The seller is a reputable salvage yard but I'm leery buying used internals. I like the pump assy since I don't have a vice and just bolt it in. What are people's opinions of used...

Don't mean to bug everyone with questions but need help. 08 mazdaspeed 3 I just bought. There is a constant rattling, banging, or knocking from the rear suspension, sounds like driver's side rear. The car has Megan racing suspension front and rear. It almost sounds like the shock is...

Tried searching but exhaust brings up every vendor, not a possible Mazda one. Was told that the car I just bought had an exhaust system. I climbed under there and on the bottom of the muffler and the resonator just upstream of the muffler it says Mazdaspeed. I also measured the width with a...

Guys, Bought a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 yesterday with 108k miles. I didn't check it out good enough and jumped on it. Honestly now wish I didn't buy it. I usually check out cars meticulously but didn't with this one. I'll be doing a lot of searching but will also post questions too.

Bought my first mazdaspeed yesterday. It seems like all 4 door lock actuators are either dead or almost dead. When hitting the lock and unlock buttons the back two barely move and the front don't move at all. I hear most actuators try, but little movement. I did some searching and didn't see...
