    Battery Terminals / Positive Battery Cable Replacement Options

    Hey gang - I gots a question for you. So apparently now my car's positive battery connection had battery acid all over the battery terminal and possibly coroded the positive cable. These douchebags at the dealership think they're going to scam me for 1400 for a new cable harness, which...

    Why aren't calipers painted?

    There is a cheap enamel on the calipers from the manufacturer, but nothing to prevent it from rusting, that's for sure. I just painted mine right out of the box and put them on my car...problem solved. :D

    My E brake asdlfkjweiorj

    Yes, the calipers have brake fluid within them. when you press the brake pedal, it is the brake fluid that pushes the caliper piston to the brake pad, and which moves the brake pad to the rotor and pushes the rotor to the other brake pad behind the rotor. If it were your brake lines, you would...

    My E brake asdlfkjweiorj

    I had this problem, and my caliper was leaking fluid slowly, but surely. I could fill up the brake fluid reservoir, but it would eventually leak out over time. I would say this happened around 85k miles - so instead of just replacing 1 caliper, I replaced all 4. They're fairly priced...and...

    Straight pipe anyone?

    kewl, glad you like it. There is no other car around me that sounds like mine - they all have that nasty fartbox of a muffler that sounds so crackly and pitchy - where my exhaust has that deep and firm sound. I'm glad I had experimented with it. I know that when I had performed this setup...

    Rear wheels stuck to rotors?

    yeah, generally a good kick on the left and then the right side of the wheel always did it for me. Although i'm not a kickboxer, so careful you don't hurt yourself or break a stud like Ganz did. LOL

    Help! Snapped a wheel stud!

    I actually had a wheel stud replaced because a tuner lug siezed up on the stud and wouldn't come off, so they had to put a torch down the center of one of my lug nut holes to heat up the stud then hit it hard with a sharp object to crack it to loosen the grip it had on the lug. Quite an...

    Help! Snapped a wheel stud!

    yeah, essentially you get another wheel stud, they're 4 dollars at a mazda dealership. then also you take off the caliper, rotor, and you bang out the old one and pull it from the rear of the HUB, and from the rear of the HUB, you just press in and bang in the new one till it's secure. If your...

    Straight pipe anyone?

    Thinking about buying some Mazda6 wheels for my P5

    I'm getting my wheels mounted tomorrow: New rims are 18LBS a piece, hopefully they look good on the car! NEW:: OLD:: Also, I currently have 205/40/R17 on my rims and they don't rub anymore - when i had the 215/45/R17 the rear end rubbed all the time and resulted in me having to buy new...

    Stock wheels painted bronze on white p5, pics?

    I don't know....If you want to go bronze, I would highly recommend them be done professionally or to buy a whole new set of rims that are already bronzed. Bronze is that color that only looks good on certain cars and on certain wheels, I PERSONALLY don't think the stock 02-03 wheels would...

    Straight pipe anyone?

    ok so I had recorded what my exhaust sounds like. Granted it's on my Iphone, so hopefully it will do it justice. I'll have to listen to it when I get home and pull it off my phone with Itunes and post it for you to hear.

    Best way to delete fog lights?

    I have HID's on my car, and they virtually eliminate the need for my fog lamps. I tried to convert my fogs to HID, but they didn't turn out so well. I'm still looking for the HID Iceberg Blue fogs....but if I can't find them, I might as well get rid of them altogether.
