Charged up my Braille battery on 2 amp trickle. Its been in my kitchen for almost two years lolz

Busy indeed !

Very good call mazdadude !

Try to get a look at the Drivers side motor mount. May not be easy with the battery tray right there. Does not sound like sway bar linkage to me but of course it could be. Bang might be MM. Clunk could be end links. Control arm bushings Ball joint. Rattle i would have guessed intake, or turbo...

Those OEMS were pretty darn good. Really stopped nicely. Car was rated near a Porsche 911 back in 2007 in stopping distance 60-0. I overheated them a couple times from serious abuse back when. But i thought quite highly of their high performance.wear be damned !! Mike i might be catching...

Two intercooler clamps on one coupling , add coolant and oil. safe tune for start up. then pick up all the nuts and bolts i forgot to tighten, clean up the oil leaks and coolant spills. thats what spring means to me.

I want SS lines !

below 20 next couple days/ I thought spring had arrived already! But, hardly.

There is a Protege wagon a work that really has me wanting one. Would look good next to my 07 speed 3. Congrats on the buy ! Took out and then put back in my Buddies rear coilovers on his Miata NA6 yesterday. Had me wishing for spring to arrive !

That's the turbo going from no boost to full boost and side loading the shaft. Thats when the oil seeps into the exhaust tract. End play will not heal itself as you mentioned. Believe i have tried !! I have a spare K04 that needs a rebuild. I might have two. But i just saw the latest one in...

Once the battery tray is moved everything it fairly simple to access. I have upgraded couplers in blue that would look nice with TMIC with Tbolt clamps lolz

Good call MSMS3 ! I have had pretty clean valves and such. and have always been pleased with RP. Wasn't always that way of course

Rotella is highly recommended by the Subie guys. and everything i have read looks good. I use Royal Purple 10 40. But that should not affect your issue. I was just wondering.

Interesting. what weight oil are you using? I do not drive in winters, and went to a slightly heavier oil favoring heat protection over cold starts

I have wondered if those can help. Let us know, and good luck !

In my honest opinion a top mount would be fine for you. just something that has more volume/capacity. It would be wise to create a heat shield or deflector to keep the turbo heat away from the top mount. BTW i would also suggest upgrading couplings even now the OEM ones are quite soft and with...

Good note ! Thats alot of oil. How do the plugs look? I was told from day one go FMIC but i wanted the stealth look : ) The car would clean up BAT very quickly after sitting in traffic with the top mount. Is was no good for the drags though. It would heat soak in the staging lanes. After...

you know about the recall/ upgrade from mazda in regard to the faulty design in the crankcase breathing system ? I did not qualify because i was overly modded : ( But now i run a two catch can system. I replaced my turbos when i got shaft play from over boosting. running over 21 with out a...

slippery slope once you upgrade the turbo !! Fuel pump upgrade asap. Once you get into turbo upgrades you will likely find you will be needing many more parts to support it. Custom tunes being one of them. I highly recommend the IC upgrade. Makes for a happier motor and matches well with the...
