Little write on my experience with Moog control arms and swapping ball joints. I really had to dig through a lot of posts on the other dead forum when I needed to replace mine. Replacing the lower control arm as a unit is faster, but I had some aftermarket control arms that didn’t have a lot...
I planned on doing a full how-to for a front wheel bearing, but I’ll be honest, winter in Wisconsin got the best of me. I’m sharing what worked for me. At the time the other forum had a how-to. 2 man job removing the knuckle to swap the bearing. This is a 1 man on vehicle how-to kinda sorta...
I’ve been battling a slowly dying factory under-tray over the years. Autocross, hpde’s, and wintercross had taken its toll on my under-tray. I guess I hit a lot of cones. Mounting points were breaking left and right. Zip ties and Gorilla Glue tape were becoming the norm to hold my tray...
I always hated how the AccessPort OBD connector completely blocked the little storage area in the genpu’s. What? A man can’t keep some tissues handy? Back a few years I didn’t see many options but found one on Amazon. Recently I searched “obd ribbon adapter” and a ton popped up. So more...
This isn’t really a how-to per say but I wanted to provide some info that may be helpful when replacing the blower motor and resistor. These cars are getting old. My heat went out last December. Just didn’t turn on one morning. Any heat level? Nope. Nothing. Figured it was most likely the...
Grabbed a CS 51r battery box recently. Not a bad piece. Yeah, it’s not cheap but I wanted something that would cover both battery and ecu. Previous setup was a jbr tray with ecu velcroed on fuse box. Never was a huge fan of the ecu placement. It was fine for years. Only issue with the jbr...
There is nothing worse than tracking your car and experiencing braking issues. Doesn’t help your confidence at all. And it costs money. When I started taking the Mazdaspeed on course a few years back I soon developed some braking issues. Mainly overheating. I was burning through track pads...
I got in on the group buy in 2018 and installed shortly after receiving. Out of the box I was really surprised at how light it is. I have the CS front bar and it’s considerably heavier so I was expecting a beefy bar. Not the case, had to throw it on the scale. 920grams. Not only is it...
Have you ever made a master cylinder brace before? Noticed a lot of master cylinder movement when bleeding brakes on my speed3. Curious if something like this could be possible.
