    loud rattle at cold starts...

    As long as it isn't out of warranty it should be. No cost to you. Just make sure you don't have any mods on when you go see them. The dealer I went to for a few simple things basically told me to shove it. It's sad when I know more about the car and what was wrong with it than them. But it's a 4...

    loud rattle at cold starts...

    Vvti actuator. Common problem in the early mzr turbo motors. When the oil pressure goes up the pressure stops the rattle.

    To smoke or not to smoke

    I was skeptical when i bought the ptp fix. I was driving over a very steep grade pass, when I would get the car down to the other side the car would smoke like a bastard. Pouring out if I let it idle for over 2 minutes. The ptp fix did work. Unbelievably. My seals are going out anyways due to...

    Mazda 3 2011 Radar Detector?

    It's not coming out of gear. It's an electronic limiter. Speed limiter hysteresis. When you hit 120 it will cut off all throttle control. Meaning your foot may be down, but the computer is cutting it off completely. When you hit 120, it won't give throttle control back until you slow down the...

    Mazda 3 2011 Radar Detector?

    I have a valentine 1 and would never go with anything else. Absolutely love it. Not to mention if there is an update, or better one that comes out, they use the same housing, just send in and upgrade the internals. And by disconnects, do you mean it pops outta gear? Or are you hitting a governor?

    Mazdaspeed2: Turbo or Supercharger???

    A better designed turbo than the speed 3's would be perfect. The way technology is going, turbochargers are more efficient in almost every way. Just has some lag. Just be patient for a half second, and the benefits far outweigh a s/c. If you are into a whine, more power to you. But I don't want...

    Idaho?????

    Teton Valley to be exact. I've had 3 mazdas now and very very little issues with any. Drove the crap outta all of them too. What did the P5 get replaced with?

    Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire

    Cobb recommends changing them every 12-15k if you are running higher boost. Higher heat causes them to wear faster. I would replace them and see what that helps. If it doesn't change then next step is your coil packs. They may look perfect, but might be sending a weak spark. How many miles on...

    Engine died after getting gas

    Definitely shouldn't be specific, but if you want to just to be safe and for peace of mind go ahead and number them on the tops. Also you should only have to put one bottle of iso heet in to your tank. Its methanol is what it is. So it dries up water and ups octane. No need to keep doing that or...

    Engine died after getting gas

    Could still be a few things. Have you replaced your spark plugs? How did cylinder 1 look? Also you should check the resistance on your coils and the wires. The coils are known to break down due to the heat between the intercooler and the motor. If the coil to number 1 is different from the other...

    Who's installed CS racepipe with stock exhaust?

    I can't say just the test pipe for myself, I have a full CS downpipe. Mated up to the stock cat-back perfect. Many people have done just the test pipe, you should be good to install. Quick and easy.

    HELP! upgraded TMIC..hose kink?

    Well since you have a lot on the turbo, you can pull a little off from that, center it a little and see if that will work. If not I guess you may be buying a new hose. That's not exactly bolt on, I would expect better quality and fitment from SU. Just give it a go and see what happens.

    Before and afters! HUGE difference, no really, HUGE.

    Smoke stacks FTL! No need to try and say "Hey look at me!"

    Looks like the hose is just too long, try to trim it a little and see if that will help.
