Did you make sure your spark plug gaps where correct?

Yah thats exactly what I was thinking. Thats why I said as we fill up your oil, then wouldnt it fill up the filter as well. I understand priming it if its on the bottom but wouldnt it just pour out when you put our oil filter on.

New bushings honestly doesnt do much, trust me. I am reworking with my short shifter right now and now noticing im missing a few rubber parts causing the rattling from my shifter. I would say there no way really to make it smoother, these transmissions just tend to be notchy and not smooth. I...

Stupid but maybe reasonable question, I saw on some random thread on the internet that when doing your oil change it said something about the air filter having air in it so you have to put oil in the filter or something. It said on initial start the engine will push air out possibly causing...

IDK i feel like snake oil is the wrong term to use here, its chemistry. Seafoam does what it says, it liquefies carbon deposits and other deposits that build up and thus allows for you to release the attached particles into suspended particles allowing for easier removal when doing oil changes...

Yah I've seafoamed a few times before already. If you add the seafoam into the oil then your supposed to run it for about 200 miles and then change your oil and oil filter after. PCB I think I remember you saying you put it in your crankcase after you do your oil change. Im not sure if your...

Sounds like you might have a intake leak somewhere to me. Make sure you dont have a small crack or tear in you intake and make sure its secure to the throttle body. Also just check the battery connections too make sure there tight.

Guys, my p5 is getting very oil hungry recently. I think my rings and/or seals are going, not sure im not really a mechanic. I just took it on a 250 mile trip and it drank through about a quart of oil. Its to the point now that every full tank of gas I use goes a quart of oil. Any advice you...

Wow man i got a ebay header and it worked just fine. Make sure you get your donut gasket on the midpipe connection. Also thats really weird you had a male connection, I would be pissed. I got a K2 header for 100 bucks of ebay and it fit perfect. BTW that looks like my ebay intake too haha. I...

Holy crap man 600 bucks thats a ton for exhaust you can do it yourself in like 2 hours the entire exhaust. I say go obx header, non fouler, and mazdaspeed exhaust for 100 bucks. Dont forget about your gaskets.. total it would be only for 200-300 bucks for all the parts and two hours of your...

I say there all pretty much the same. I went copper ngk v power long reach and have been great so far. I read that copper plugs are the way to go because they don't dislodge Metal when failing, they just foul and fail. Where as some iridium plugs and others have had the Issues. Idk if it's true...

Dude you can get them mad cheap off of rock auto, that's what I did. Btw if your lowered I've seen on this forum that the ford end links will cause length issues. But if you have a rear sway bar I Would say just get some really strong ones for the extra force it will be getting. I Using...

Idk, might be just me but I think this idea has some creativeness and clever engineering but come on, you can buy a full set of new mounts on ebay with a lifetime warranty for 100 bucks. Thats what I did, no rattles, no noises, solid mounts, and you have a peace of mind rather than dealing with...

yah well i see what your saying, but if you go whole assemby, 130*4= over 500 bucks, so imo it would be worth just going tokico, same price, idk though man not my car but tokicos have been suggested all over this site. I do agree if it has a lifetime warranty though, then thats pretty ba. but...

^what he said, go with some tokico blues (around 500 bucks), monroe's are pretty much stock quality if that all you want but probably close to the same price. Plus that 500 bucks includes new tokico springs giving like a 1" drop all around. It also somewhat track ready, I guess, just a bit...

Haha love the title to this thread, well from another noobs experience from doing this... You need to make sure that you use very strong drill bits, I think the carbon drill bits, I remember doing this at my jobs warehouse and I picked a black bit thinking it would do it and I prob drilled that...

I would say change oil less than 5k maybe 3k, maybe your using synthetic, but the more oil changes the less contaminants being recirculated in the oil and burned, thus longer life... Better to do cheaper oil and more often changes than better oil and longer change intervals -Also if your...

Dude wow man thanks so much for your help, i have the Kartboy bushing on but i think my brother threw the boot out and now that white plastic ring is vibrating on it. My computer broke so I lost the whole mazda part diagram pdf too which sucks. Thanks for finding that part no. for me bro, Ill...

So I have a TWM short shifter on my car and it seems to rattle a lot at idle or when gassing at a low gear. When taking the console back out and taking a look at it I noticed that there isnt that rubber boot that sits on the shifter where the two white pieces connect together. Seen in step 8...
