    LA mazda club

    Just to let you guys know you missed a great, although wet autocross yesterday. It wasn't a huge crowd, but it was still a blast. Rain is the great equalizer. I won my class (HS). Hope to see more of you guys at the EVO Center next month.

    LA mazda club

    Yeh I've been to nearly all of those tracks as well. The track in Baker, LA is like 5 minutes from my house. Anybody other than Heath coming to the autox at the end of this month at Lamar/Dixon? I'll should be there, it just depends on school work load at that point.....

    Haynes/Chilton/Mazda Service Manual

    i got the whole thing on one cd from a guy on ebay a while back. it was just a few bucks. cheaper than printing and quicker than downlaoding it all. it's just a bunch of pdf's of each section, but very helpful and convenient. we just look it up on the cd and print a section as we need it.

    Gnarly valve train ticking

    Well, mine will see the dealer on Thursday. They have scheduled for a technician to go for a ride with me, since they couldn't reproduce the noise last time because they don't listen to me because I am a girl....... anywho, the noise has gotten louder, occurs with the most volume under heavy...

    pics from my trip to new orleans

    Hey man, very telling pictures. The whole situation sucks. When are you going to get to come back for good? You've missed several good autocrosses (not that that's very important, but they were fun). Enjoying life out of state? Hope school is going well. Hope your family is all ok. I guess it's...

    Need new brake pad soon...HELP!

    Cost is something I cannot tell on, because my boyfriend works at Garcia Alfa Racing (http://www.garciaalfaracing.com/) in Houston, and they got them for me (and they haven't come yet, so I haven't paid yet) from Andy Kress, which is who I would reccomend. His website is...

    Front Brake Pad Reccomendations

    I ordered my new brake pads. They haven't come in yet. I asked some SCCA racers (not autocross, but real racing)who run the Alfa Romeo Race Shop my boyfriend works at in Houston, and they reccomended PORTERFIELDs. They have used them on both street and race cars. Once, one guy took a set off of...

    MPT (Miles Per Tank)

    How are ya'll getting such insane gas mileage. I'm lucky if I can get 325 on a tank. You have to driving a lot of highway miles. City traffic does me in, (especially now since Baton Rouge has doubled in population in the last 2 weeks.) On long trips, I never let it get below 1/2 a tank, which is...

    Noise under acceleration

    I have the exact same problem (at least we'll assume that for now). I have also mentioned this on SEVERAL other posts on here. I took mine to the dealer and they checked all my heat shields... all ok. Basically said they couldn't repeat it. I asked about the VTCS screw thing and the first guy...

    A/C light / issues

    My car had this problem. They said that it was the heater control unit (or something to that effect). Mine was doing the flickering thing which eventually led to the air ceasing to be cold until you punched the A/C button 50-thousand times until it came back on. It just got worse over time. On...
