    Stiff brake in the morning and no emergency brake...Help

    The check valve is inside the vacuum hose going from the booster to the engine. Remove hose. Blow into the hose from the booster side. You should be able to blow only in this direction. If you blow from the engine side towards the booster and can blow air, the valve is bad. Vacuum should only...

    Painting Centre Console

    I used this stuff. It ain't cheap though. Select blue for the same color in the pic. I applied 3 coats of paint, and 1 heavy coat of clear. After 24hrs I polished it with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. The color is wild. From a copper color when driving into the sun, or a bright, just about...

    I painted my center consol and gauge cluster awhile back, and it still shines like new. I know this may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. lol

    what is this bushing?

    It takes away that sloppy vague feeling and give a more direct crisp shift. With your short shifter, Corksport bushings and 3rd link mod, Im sure it would make shifting even more enjoyable. Easy install too. I love mine. 2nd mod done to my car years ago, except mine were Kartboy bushings.

    Caliper piston won't retract fully

    I have always used the adjustment screw to retract the caliper on the rear brakes. One time, the only time I ever brought my car in for the rear brakes, was the also the last time. My calipers were in perfect working order. I was going to the track the next day and thought I'd let a very...

    LankyKiwi's Rally-flavored SP20

    Yep, the AWR endlnks are noisy for sure. Never had a problem, but very annoying and unnerving for some passengers. I dealt with it for awhile and started messing around to see what would keep them quiet. What worked for me was to not use any of the hardware from AWR lol. I use only the endlinks...

    Yes the ac well be gone if that's where it's mounted. This guy had a similar set up. Not sure what sc he used. Don't know if you've seen these or not. Yes sc's are noisy, but in a good way. :)

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    I used a tire iron lol. The whole thing is strange because the car brakes just fine. The pads are getting worn though. That's why I want to change them.

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Thanks man. I thought that too but that seems to move freely as well. The car is pretty clean underneath thankfully, and in good shape. No leaks or rust so I have no real gunky build up or anything. I tried forcing it earlier but nope.

    GT spec chassis brace supplier found

    So I tried contacting Out Performance via email and by phone several times. No response. Sucks because I was hoping some company might have an overstock of Mazda GT Spec parts looking to unload. No such luck so far.
