I've got an '06 Mazdaspeed6 with just under 90k miles. As the title says, when I go to turn the wheel, I get a squeaky rubbing sound, like someone playing with a balloon... mixed with the structural groans you'd expect to hear from the inside an old, out of service battleship that's been sitting...

I've got some of the body parts from my dearly departed Protege. Local meetups only (in the DFW/metroplex area, preferably), I'm not really looking to ship this literally car-sized stuff. Everything is in great condition (the left fender has one rock chip), albeit a little dirty... (whistle)...

RIP Mazdaspeed Protege #2698... :'( *Pronounced a total loss as 5/1/12...:'( Scroll on down to the bottom for the horror...* Her first photoshoot: Modding like a madman on a budget: *This lip would eventually lose it's life in a battle to the death against an angry railroad...

So I hit a good sized rock or block of concrete or frikkin' boulder or whatever it was in the middle of the street. It was roughly the size of a jagged, gnarled softball. Or a really ugly baby's head. Why it was there, I do not know. I was going too fast and had to short of a notice to get...

I got my new lip installed and stopped by the carwash, then by a random office building...

I just installed a CF hood, and when I hit around 90 it begins to flutter slightly. I'm not sure if it's air pushing down on it, or air trying to lift it up... It rests on the rubber stoppers where I'd imagine there'd be some give when pushing down, but as far as lifting up, the latch and the...

I had help from a friend and it went really well except for the fact that he hood won't close all the way. The latch (on the car) and the hook thing (on the hood) line up perfectly, and the hook thing goes down far enough to get past the hood secondary hood release (the one you have to reach...

I had just left my brother's apartment, having helped him move all his s*** up to his 3rd floor apartment out in Arlington. I got on to 30 heading East and noted that they had closed the left lane. I got into the middle lane, then checked my mirrors to see if there was anyone coming up that...

The brake light came on in my car last Thursday. I raised and lowered the parking brake to no effect. After a few minutes it went off, but when I slowed to stop, it came on again. I popped the hood to take a look, and the fluid level was close to the "fill" line, so I filled it up. It's...

Me and the Mrs. had done some shopping and loaded up the MSP preparing to drive a half a mile to the apartment. Went to turn the key and nothing happened. The radar detector came on, the radio faceplate rolled over and nothing. No clicking, no hesiation, no nothing. I don't think it was the...

Inconsistent Rumble/Vibration at 80MPH... I recently got new wheels and tires. From what I understand, the stockers are 215/45/17's mounted to 17x7 wheels with a 50mm offset. My new wheel/tire combo has 205/40/17s mounted to 17x7's at a (I'm guessing) 40mm offset. With the new wheels and...

They actually came last Thursday. I was so excited that I put them on in the dark. In the pouring rain. They're 17x7 on 205/40/17's. I'm not sure what offset, though... Sorry for the picture quality.

Some oddball Japanese company named Mitsuoka crafted this... thing... from a '96 Mustang and they actually sold them... It's impressive, sure, but absolutely nuts. ^ You can actually see the Mustang in the profile in this shot. ^ The interior is kinda Mustang-ish as well...

So, a few days ago, my car started making a intermittent, metallic, chirping sound that tended increased with speed when it was actually present. I thought maybe a wheel bearing or a shock needed to be looked. When I touched the brakes, the noise would stop. After a day or so, the noise...

I'm looking for a wingless Protege trunklid to replace my current trunk w/ MSP wing. Preferably a Laser Blue one. I don't want to have it "removed" as I may want to go winged again. Anyone with one available?(dunno)

Does anyone know where I can get a used Protege trunk; preferably a painted one. I wanna go wingless, but don't wanna "take off" my spoiler, I'd like to keep it in case I get the urge to go winged again (though I doubt that'd happen...). So, I'm looling for a wingless EX/LS Protege trunk. Any...

I'm in the market for new wheels for the MSP; I can't take the stockers anymore. I've read every article I could find regarding 17 vs 18-inch wheels. From what I've gotten, 17's are ultimately faster, but 18's provide better steering feel (and looks) at the expense of a harsher ride. Can...

Okay, so I communte 40 miles (round trip) for work everyday. I assume alot of people here commute as well, to work or school or the store, or wherever. Every so often I'll see something noteworthy, like the Mini on massive, chrome dubs, or the Viper GTS coupe with the barbed wire vinyl (not...

So I borrowed my father's camera to snap a few pics of my MSP. I realize that I have no photographical skills, but I found a nice little spot and proceeded to hold the camera at funny angles and fire off shots. There's some junk in the background that I didn't move because I'm pretty sure I...
