So, my OEM coolant reservoir/tank is leaking. I've looked at aftermarket options and the only option seems to be the aluminum one from Corkport, which is also pricey. Is there a reason I should go for the Corksport one over an OEM replacement?

Hey guys, I picked up a new daily recently and have been considering dropping collision and comprehensive insurance coverage on the Speed3. For those that have a different daily driver than the Speed, I was wondering how you guys have your Speed3 insured?

Hey guys, it's been awhile. I recently got why wheels balanced and the tech said, one of the rims is slightly bent on the inside. I'm still running the 2013 OEM wheels. Can it be repaired? Does it make sense to have it repaired? Or should I just try to buy a refurbished one off eBay?

I have a 2013 Speed with tech package. Does anyone know if it is possible to replace just the BOSE headunit with an aftermarket one that has carplay? All I really want is to have carplay. I don't really want to replace anything else.

Hey guys, I need some motor mount suggestions for cutting down drivetrain slop / buckling / clunkiness / jerkiness in stop and go traffic, without adding too much NVH. I'm trying to get rid or minimize the drivetrain slop/clunkiness/jerkiness when I'm decelerating in 2nd or 3rd gear in stop and...

My car is idling roughly, usually when I'm on a stoplight. This only happens when the engine is already warmed up. Doesn't seem to happen during cold starts or when the engine is below 180F coolant temp. Check engine light is not on and there are no trouble codes. My car battery was fully...

Does anyone here use one? Are they worth it or is it better to just buy a new battery? I've got an Optima YellowTop battery. I can't remember exactly, but I think I have been using it for 2 years or so now. Winter has brought some pretty cold temps to Texas and on some days I've noticed that I...

Not sure where to put this and wasn't sure if this info can go into the "Proven parts" thread. Anyway I wanted to document it here. I had to get new bolts for the intercooler cover on my Genpu. The bolts are M6x1.0. I got them with a length of 20mm which seems to be an appropriate length.

Just wondering who drives the Genpu that is shown in the article linked below? Congrats on finishing 2nd place on the Enthusiast Class FWD category! Faster than a WRX STi in the same class! You have to find a way to beat the 1st place Fiesta ST next time...

Do you have one? If so, what model and where do you have it mounted?

Considering that the Mazdaspeed platform and its owners are really performance oriented, why is it that there is hardly anyone running a reverse staggered setup on our cars (other than those going to the drag strip)? I think I've seen one person in MSF do this and another in Instagram, but...

So this discussion pops in and out every once in awhile in the shout box. I thought I'd make a thread to ask my question on it. Given decent all-season or summer tires, at what power or torque levels will you start losing traction when going WOT on 3rd gear? For reference, I'm running...

I have a noob question. I want to do a boost leak test on my car. What kind of air compressor do I need? Can I use those portable tire inflators that plug into the car's cigarette socket? I have one like this...

Just doing my research on them. To keep it simple, I just have 3 questions... for now. What rear sway bar do you have? What setting do you run it on? How has it improved your driving experience?

So installing water/methanol injection kits is one of the more "bang for the buck" mods that we can do to our cars. I'm curious about the potential dangers getting into an accident with a WMI kit installed. I'm going to use @Redline's installation as an example here. The WMI kit is installed at...

As the title states, I am curious as to what determines highway passing power? By this I mean, when I'm trying to pass someone on the highway, what would allow me to pass them the quickest? Is it horsepower? Is it torque? Or both? I guess another way to ask this question is, what determines...

So I snapped the longer bolt which attaches the cold pipe to the TMIC. It is a M6-1.0 x 60mm flange bolt. I have had trouble finding a replacement for it. Already went to Autozone, O'Reilly, Home Depot and they only had a 40mm one. Will drop by ACE Hardware later. My question is, as an...

Just sharing the difference between the Stratified Stage2 93 Flash Tune versus the Stage2 E85 Flash Tune on my car. Not really sure about the power/torque numbers it is showing, but that extra power shown in the graphs is definitely noticeable. I would even argue that because of the knock...
