gen2

Hi, first ever post here. I have a 2011 Speed3 with an engine or something near it that makes the knock sensor go apeshit around 1750-2500RPM and light load (the problem actually seems to get better the more gas I give it; WOT is normal but I don't like getting on it too much because of my tune...

As the title states, I recently found out that the parasitic drain I've had on my vehicle's battery was being caused by my PAC RP4-MZ11 module not going to sleep. In dept details are below. The Symptoms: Letting my vehicle sit for 3 days or more resulted in my battery reading below 12V of...

Figured it was finally time to listen to everyone telling me to make a build thread. My car is a 2011 Mazdaspeed3 base model that I have owned since March 22, 2020. I bought the car with 76,600 miles and as of the start of this thread on 02/20/24 it has 119,292 miles. I daily drive it, and have...

On to the issues: I've been noticing for the past while that the oil pan shows a mostly-dry stain of oil and the area around the oil filter shows wet stain/dirt. The source of this oil seems to be from the spin-on filter seal, though I am not 100% sure of this. I lubricate the filter o-ring with...

Context, I have a 2010 speed3 with the tech pack, which includes the Bose sound system. I recently had all sound from my sound system die on me. Sound went from working perfectly, to intermittent cutting out, then a week later a pop of static and it was radio silence (literally). Still had...

Are carbon fiber fenders FOR gen2's made of unobtainium? Can't find ANY. Unless Google is playing games with my emotions.

Hey guys, new to this page! I am running 18x9.5 +15 rims, 255/45 tire. I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of fender flares for a gen 2. There is not much info on it. How big of flares should I go with? Which brand? Help me out please!

EDIT: Problem solved, both my HPFP housings were bad. New HPFP housing solved the problem. More detailed explanation in a response posted below. Hey everyone, been pulling my hair on this one. Here's the scenario. Car is running fine (2011 speed3), for 1.5 years. I buy brand new Corksport HPFP...

Hey everyone, New here. I have a 07 speed 3 with full bolt ons and i bought a 2nd gen motor from a friend and just got it hung in the car. I have a few questions. I know the block is the same, however I have realized PS pump is different along with AC compressor (they will be swapped). my...

Hi everyone! Some of you have wondered who I am and why I don't have a thread about my mazdaspeed. The answer is simple, laziness. I'd rather be wrenching than typing, so wrenching always wins my time. However today I'm going to try... again... In June 2012 I bought a brand new 2012...

So I finally got fed up of listening to the spoiler rattle while driving and closing the hatch. Here's a walk through on how to remove the spoiler apply foam seals and reinstall for rattle free bliss. Gather the following tools and supplies: pick or thin gasket scraper 10mm deep socket and...
