OK, so my poison is autocross and I rock a 95 Miata for that in STS. That being said, the 2 is the bad weather autocrosser, so far yielding 2 first place finishes. On top of that, the Mazda 2 completed 2 TSD rallys in the past two years, finishing second in both. This year, my Navigator decided...

http://www.sjr-scca.org/rally/archive/2013/13bcxflyer.pdf I plan to run the Mazda2 This is a TSD on good roads so not a car breaker but if you are worried just rent a car and have fun. Last year we ran my navigator's Escort and we had lots of fun. Come out and play you NY, NJ, PA, DE, CT...

Why should I not spend $ on this setup? Car is DD with about 15k per year on mixed quality roads, some gravel roads <1000 miles per year, some rainy day autocross events, some TSD rallying mostly paved, winter tires Nov-April and BFG SC2 for rest of year. And if I get this setup how much should...

Hello, The service manual recommends 75W-85, GL-4. I am thinking about Motorcraft Synthetic GL-4 in 75W-90. I will sample the one removed to see how they compare. Anyone chose a different route? If so why? Any sample results? Cheers.

So, my buddy Bob very fast driver, invited me to Sunday's festivities, an open track day at this small technical and dangerous track, not for the faint of heart. I wanted to bring my Miata and see how the BFG Rivals do in the rain, but it was pouring by my house, 2 hours away, and my DGF said...

This Sunday I had the pleasure to watch blueturd do a fantastic job at a NY region autocross. He finished 2nd out of 22 in his class even though he could have taken 1st. He did a great job driving and with better tires he could do even better. His car is on the Welcome page where he started...

I just got a set for my track day and autocross Miata, and they are fantastic. My M2 just got the Yoko Advan AD08s replaced with BFg Sport Comp 2 and they are a very nice tire and not a substantial downgrade. For you Autocrossers and Track Day nuts, you should seriousely consider the Rivals...

So, I went for a spin yesterday (we got clobbered by a snowstorm in New England) and the OEM steelies shod with Michelin xIce2 did just fine. Not as good as studded tires but kept me moving just fine. In 3-4" of snow over ice. The e-brake was required during some turns as we cannot use the go...

so just shy of 23000 miles and my 18 mo M2 got peppered by some hail... ...the insurer gets me into an 800 mile 2013 Avenger ... ...it's been over a week and the automatic Dodge is a major POS. I wanted the Mini or the 500 but there is a line a mile long trying to rent those. My M2 is the base...

Stock Steel Wheels are OK Team Dynamics 15x7 are OK Please list the wheels that you rock that take TPMS without any problems! Sticky! (yippy)(yippy)

I spotted a Black M2 on the BQE in NYC today around 4.30 p.m. The driver looked at me a bit puzzled. I spotted a red Mazda 2 in Astoria, NYC parked a block away from my destination point. I spotted a Green Mazda 2 in Manhattan, parked, before getting on Williamsburgh Bridge, around 4. Wow...

We just did a Rally, 150 miles off-road, and I think that the Mazda 2 would be a neat little Rally car. We used an older Escort and we did fine (for the first half anyway). So if your local SCCA or NASA club has a road TSD Rally, do it in the 2.

I am not offering anything for sale here. I installed summer tires on different wheels on my Mazda2 Sport. I have just received my winter tires which will be installed on my steel OEM wheels. What should I do with the OEM Tires? Yokohama 34s in 185-55-15? Should I store them or should I sell...

I replaced the stock whip with an antenna from the CX-7. Call Finishline/Rosenthal Mazda and get your own. It is a shortie that fits perfectly! http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123805782-Mud-Flaps-and-Antenna My other post has a crappy picture that tells all.

http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123805782-Mud-Flaps-and-Antenna&p=5812685#post5812685 I know that most lower their cars. My Miata is lowered a bit. The 2 is doing DD duty on rough roads so she's staying off the speed bumps or bump-stops for now. With the wider Advan 08s. The sides...

Mud-Flaps This is a bit of a teaser but: Rally Armor UR front flaps are installed. Rears need to be trimmed and then installed. At the advice of Rally Armor, I ordered the hardware that installs the Mazda 2 OEM mud-flaps about 39 bucks. I could have done a hack job for less. It looks pretty...

185/60R15 Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 I am leaning towards these. The size is a teeny bit off, however they got better reviews than the Michelin X-Ice and even with the Michelin 70 buck refund, the price is about the same. 400 shipped. What do you have/plan to get/why? PS. My M2 is a Sport...

Today I ran my 3rd Autocross in the M2 and I had lots of fun. I wear glasses and I have this expensive pair that I wear every day but do not fit nicely with my helmet. I have an older pair of titanium flexible frames that are narrower at the temples and do fit nicely in my helmet. Swapping...
