The best brakes I have experienced have been in my two M-Cars (E36 M3 and Z3 Mcoupe). I anticipated awesome brakes in my Evo, but was never impressed by the Brembo's performance. Same with the brakes in my two S4's, one of which I warped the rotors on without trying too hard. Interestingly the...

Thanks for the confirmation on the provided keys. Looks like I can breathe easy knowing the dealership isn't squirreling away my extra remote key in some drawer full of extras.... I appreciate the key source info and link to the DIY for programming the key.

One quick new Mazda2 owner question. How many keyless entry keys are you supposed to get? My car came with one regular key and one switchblade keyless entry key. I did a search on the forum but didn't see anything pop-up. I plan on asking the dealer, but I figured it would be nice to know...

Zerk fittings eh..., sounds like an interesting solution! Other than the clunking those inverted Sti struts were pretty awesome. Sounds like you had some nice mods on that 03' X. I was trying to find some Sti brakes when I ended-up trading my FXt for the RX8. I do like Subaru's a lot though, and...

Yeah, that username was a weird bit eh? I signed-up and tried to use my typical username but it said it was already used, so I went with my second choice. Then by force of habit I logged on with my other log-in. Guess that "I" was the other guy that had my username tied-up. Always seems like...

The Forester was a pretty cool car. A lot of Forester folks prefer the Forester Sti springs which are firmer, and lower the car a little, but not without sacrificing the forester off-path utility clearance. I was running a set of inverted Sti pink struts off of a 2004 usdm Sti, the springs were...

Thanks for the replies folks. I haven't spent any time in the car other than a short test drive on Saturday. The stock brakes felt fine to me and my comments about the mods just summarized my quick online glance at what was available for the car from a mod standpoint. You have to remember that I...

I am not a MS6 owner yet, but got a decent test drive in a couple of days ago. Having owned 11 other turbo vehicles, I can assure you the small turbo on the MS6 is not laggy at all. By comparison to say a normally aspirated M3 6cylinder though, it will feel a little softer off the front...

Thanks for the reply ! I was doing some searches and came across a reference to cobb in the mazda speed 3 forum. I am currenty running a stage II Cobb AP map on the Fxt, and I was getting ready to install a VF30 turbo with a custom PDX tuning AP map. Luckily all of the suby related parts sell...

Hi folks, I was perusing the internet looking for a decent forum that might have some good reference information on the current Mazdaspeed6, when I stumbled onto your forum. Looks to be a great place to gain a little Mazda knowledge for sure! I am currently driving a modded Forester Xt(pic...
