    Spark Plug Torque Settings

    I'm looking to change out my spark plugs this weekend or next and I need to know what torque settings the factory calls for. Looks like NGK BKR5EIX-11s are the plug everyone recommends, but I couldn't find torque settings listed.

    Hey guys, I just noticed that these are available for our cars, and cheap, too: https://www.rs-r.com/product/mazda-2-superdown-sus-springs-2007-2/ I'll probably go with H&Rs, but has anyone tried these?

    Today's Google Doodle...

    ...honors Eiji Tsuburaya's birthday! He would have been 114 this year. He's best known for being the father of Godzilla and the "men in rubber suits destroying miniature cities" genre [also known as tokusatsu (special effects) or kaiju (monster) movies]. However, Mazda fans should remember him...

    Ducks Garden pedal covers

    Has anyone tried these? I've been looking for an option for pedal covers outside of the traditional knockoff/no-name eBay pedals. http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/ducksgarden/item/957439/?siteID=je6NUbpObpQ-igUveVkYD2WuXhZGFKu4_A

    Anybody running ST X Coilovers?

    I'm getting ready to order a set of ST X coilovers. Will I need to purchase camber plates or bolts? Will I need to relocate the A/C hose bracket or the brake fluid reservoir?

    Brake lines and ABS.

    Recently I was installing new front brakes on my '11 with 51k miles. I have a set of stainless lines but I couldn't put them on because the fittings had rusted to the line! If I were to change them out I'd be looking at all new hard lines from front to rear, and I'd likely strip out the ABS...

    Drag racing - post your 1/4 mile times here!

    I know import drag racing died with big wings and vinyl graphics, but I'm just curious what people are running with lightly modified 2s. My pal thinks his Abarth is hot stuff and he's running 15.9s; I'm expecting 17.5s stock out of our cars. I'm especially curious to see what cars with the...

    Cam's Mazda2 Build Thread

    Now's as good a time as any to start a build thread for my beloved daily driver - a Spirited Green Metallic 2011 Mazda2 Touring. In September 2010, I had just gotten hired at a new job. I was watching TV, saw the commercial, saw that color, and I immediately drove to the dealership for a test...

    Aluminum pedal covers

    Hi there, I stopped at the dealership today to price out the Mazdaspeed3 pedal covers for my car. Imagine my surprise when they came back at $590 for the gas pedal alone! Apparently it has to be ordered as the whole assembly. I found these on eBay but I'm suspicious...

    Finally decided on wheels - help with tire & offsets

    Hey guys, since ordering my Mazda2 I've wanted a set of Work Equip 01s for it. Now that Rota has the Zero Plus wheel available, I'm ready to take the plunge. I'm planning on installing the H&R lowering sprigs from CorkSport. I'm assuming that I'll have to run 15x7s in the front and 15x8s in the...

    Mazdaspeed3 throttle body?

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that someone had swapped out their stock throttle body for a Mazdaspeed3 unit, but I can't find the post. Has anyone done this?

    New guy from Cleveland

    Hi there, I was turned on to this forum by my friend Jess (XCLR8TN). I've got a few Mazdas but I bought my Mazda2 late last year. I saw the ad, test drove one the same day, and ordered one three days later. It was built in late October and delivered to me on my birthday in December. Since then...

    Corksport lightweight crank pulley: thoughts?

    I'm looking at installing the Corksport lightweight crank pulley (and the SURE Torque R2 engine mount) at my next oil change (12k), but I had a few concerns. Is the engine on our cars internally balanced? Also, I've seen reports of turbo Mitsubishis with lightweight pulleys experiencing...
