    OEM HID on a Mazdaspeed3?

    I searched and about the only thing I could find is "it's really expensive." I know it's expensive, and I'm probably one of the minority that would be willing to pay the money to have an OEM setup with leveling lamps. Does anyone have any idea what is needed to give the Mazdaspeed3 the OEM HID...

    Okay, now what did I mess up?

    I just noticed this about a week ago.. My HVAC dials don't turn all the way.. Like, the heat doesn't turn all the way clockwise as it's supposed to, and the vent selection won't go all the way to defrost.. Picture attached with the dials as far as they will go.. I thought maybe I didn't hook...

    New to the Columbia area, need some help..

    Hey guys, I just moved to SC a couple weeks ago and I'm having a bit of trouble.. I lowered my Protege5 on B&G coilovers, took it to Wray Mazda, and they said it's too low and they can't do an alignment on it.. They said they didn't even wanna put it on the rack.. I guess I'm going to do my own...

    where to get my coilovers put in?

    Alright, I've decided I'm too lazy and I've been too busy to put my B&G coilovers on myself. I'm all stressed since I'm moving in like less than a week and I've been so busy moving stuff and getting things organized and cleaned up so I can be out of here.. Fixing computers so they'll still work...

    amp and speaker problem

    Alright, everything is wired up in my car. I don't know what's wrong, but no matter what I set the crossover at (on the amp) for my front stage, the tweeters simply will not work. They and the midbass are hooked up to the crossover correctly and I just can't figure out what is wrong with them...

    Guess I'm playing guinea pig with coilovers..

    I haven't seen one person on the board with the B+G coilovers, and I've been looking over my options and I think I'm going to go with them. I've heard lots of praise about them from VW and Scooby owners so that's reassuring. I also wanted something that's going to be a bit smoother and I've...

    Wiring eD12A.22 to Avionixx 800.2

    Alright, this is a total noob question.. I was originally going to get the 12k, but the more I think about it and realize I can afford a 12a, I think that's what I might do. Still not 100% on that one but I might as well get my question out of the way while it's still in my head. Since the 12A...

    For those that painted their interior door handles..

    How do you get the silver door handle out of the black part that holds it in. I know there's a spring and it's locked in there, but I have no idea how to get that all out. I'd kinda like to paint it on both sides and get all of it and I've seen it on the forums, but I can't figure it out.. I...

    I need cable, but how much..?

    Alright, I'm going to be wiring up two amps to my car most likely within the next few months here. As soon as it warms up I want to run cable inside of it, but I'm not sure how much I'll need. I was going to get a couple of amp install kits, but I'd rather just run one power wire to a dist...

    Have any of you heard/seen anything about this kit? http://www.fastbrakes.com/products/product.php?partnum=FBM01 On another forum I belong to the Honda guys like it, so i was just wondering.

    BlueBatmobile's Yellow P5 foglight overlays!

    Alright, first I'm going to say I should have: 1.) Waited until it was warmer 2.) Took my time with the first one more so 3.) Heated up the vinyl and surface longer (see number one) All this because I got two nasty creases in my passenger side foglight while installing it. Vinyl loses a lot of...
