    Used OEM wheels

    So I really don't like the wheels that came with my car when I bought it, just not my style. I'm trying to find a reputable place that sells OEM wheels. I would like to find either some speed 6 wheels or I've been eyeing up the split five spoke wheels from the CX 7. Any suggestions?

    Vent gauge pod

    Hopefully I am posting this in the correct section. I was tired of my current set up for my boost gauge but, I don't really like the idea of drilling holes that will possibly be in a visible area if I ever remove the gauge. Not a fan of pilar mounted gauges. I have looked around a decent amount...

    Compression test

    Ok so I'm starting to question the actual condition of this car based on the fact that I fix one thing and another breaks with in a few days so, I'm back to basics, which I really should have done way before or, in reality had it done before buying the car. I didn't know much about these cars...

I'm playing on my phone and notice that the...

    Paranoid

    So I can be a little, let's say sensitive, yeah that's a good word. Another way of putting it is I like to over think stuff and every now and again it pays off. It all started after I did my HPFP and started staring at fuel pressure. I noticed the pressure would drop at idle sometimes in the...

    Oil pump question

    So I will be doing the VVT and timing set very soon and have been studying the timing related processes that the members of this forum have so kindly provided. I very much appreciate the efforts that went in to making these! I noticed that there is no mention of replacing the oil pump chain...

    Sad timing noises :(

    Well, I knew it was going to happen eventually, I just didn't think it would happen so soon. I bought my speed at the end of July last summer with 68k on it and I'm a bit over 71k now. It sat in the garage all winter and I have been driving it a decent amount lately. When I started it this...

    Just saying Hi

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to the Mazdaspeed platform. I guess I technically owned a Mazda a long time ago as a 1990 Ford probe with the 2.2 liter engine and standard transmission. Nothing fancy but it sure was reliable. I started out modifying Honda and Acuras in the late 90's...
