What are you guys using for brake slider pin lubricant? I always used permatex caliper lube ( green slim), but it makes the rubber sleeves swell. I heard high heat anti-seize works. The manual was never clear on my MX5. Thanks.

I had these sitting around from my MX5 so I bought some seat mounts for the 2 and installed them. Sorry for the crappy phone pics. The driver side is on a slider and has good clearance. The passenger seat is fixed mount and touches the pillar, but otherwise fits with no other issues. The...

I had a chance to run the 2 at Barber's Motorsport Park last weekend. I was surprised how easy the car was to drive since it was my first time driving a front wheel vehicle on the track. The car has Bilsteins, corksport rear bar, camber bolts, XP8 brake pads and 205/50/15 RE11As on some Konig...

I was just looking at Edmunds rebates/incentive and they show a $2K dealer incentive and $750 owner loyalty incentive. The downside is it will hurt resale to the current owners

I was driving to work this morning about 5:30 and it was the first time I intentionally got on the brakes hard before making a left hand turn. I heard a weird noise that almost sounded like the front sub frame shifted. It was a loud clunk across the bottom of the car and not just one side. I...

Did anybody else read about Ford's 1.0L turbocharge ecoboost motor offering for the Fiesta? I certainly wish Mazda had something similar. This car woud be a lot more fun with an extra 24-25 hp/tg. Just throwing that out for comment.

I would have thought we could use Fiesta brake pads based on the 2, but I received this information from Cobalt. "On the Fiesta, the spec is for a much thicker pad (same pad shape), at 17.5mm, versus the 14.8mm that Mazda specs for the Mazda2...might be a different caliper body and disc...

I wasn't sure which section to post this in, but I drove about 500 miles last week down to FL and was a little disapointed with my MPG. The car average around 32-33MPG running at 75mph which is pretty much the traffic flow rate. I was hoping to get the EPA rating of around 35. Sure it would...

Sparco offers a 600 series seat base for the Mazda 2. Has anybody used one? It look like it will accomodate either a fixed mount or a slider option which can be used with side mounts. It looks like you can also configure it to use a bottom mount seat, but I already have some side mount seats...
