    Black Smoke on WOT. Can a HT or AP fix this?

    I get black smoke on WOT, can a HT or AP fix this? I do have the oil filter conversion on my car & I know it wasn't perfectly flat when it was put on & leaks a lil. I kinda doubt its that causing the smoke though I'm sure under WOT, the oil would probably get a lil thinner & could leak out...

    Mazda3 vs. MazdaSpeed3 Coilovers

    What exactly is the difference between coilovers for the Mazda3 & MazdaSpeed3? I asked TEIN the same question, still waiting to hear back. I figure I'd ask the gurus here too. I notice there is some wicked coilovers for the Mazda3 but only a couple decent ones for the MazdaSpeed3. I even found...

    Loose Suspension Feel

    I don't know if its only me or not but the car always feels best right after coming back from the dealership. I think they check the tightness on some suspension parts while its there. I even had a nut, I think, fall off my suspension somewhere once when I brought it in to the dealership & they...

    MS3 Rear Wiper Blade Replacement

    Has anyone tried to replace their rear wiper blade? Do you have to go the dealership route to get it replaced? The plastic on the stock blade makes it next to impossible to just buy an aftermarket blade. I want to try & use the original plasstics that come on the blade. Is there a replacement...

    I accidentally got some used 235/50R18s, I thought they were 235/40R18s. Any clue if they'll fit at all? I'm trying to put them on the rear of a Speed3.

    Is there anything special you need to do to TPMS sensors?

    I bought a used set of TPMS for my MS3 & am installing them on aftermarket rims. I'm gonna service all the sensors first since they're off but do I need to link the sensors to the car at all somehow? I guess every car is different, I heard some you have to press a certain button combo on the...

    Will a new WRX hood fit a Speed3?

    I wanna know if anyone has done this or knows for sure if it'll fit. If you look at the new Impreza, the exterior looks pretty much identical in some parts. The hood looks very similar & I wanted to rock the vented WRX hood if possible. Also if someone has down this, how does it fir as far as...

    Boost Gauge Install Question

    I have a MS3, it took me a lil bit just to figure out there doesn't seem to be a throttle cable on this car. I believe its electronically controlled. I bought a Blitz DTT DCIV turbo timer & it has a built in boost gauge but I had my buddy install it but he only does electrical so he left the...

    Tire Question

    I have a MS3, I see the manufacturer's recommendated tire pressure but it seems low to me considering the tires can go 44 PSI max. Is it best to inflate them to near max? Would the car's handling, braking, etc suffer because of it? Anyone have a clue why the pressure is set so low? Does it trip...
