    Stumped...

    Hey guys, new to the 6 scene so don't be too harsh. I have a pretty weird discovery. I just purchased my '05 6s (auto) 164k about a month ago and I've spent a little money getting it up to snuff to my liking. New tires, tracked down a pretty nasty coolant leak and replaced those parts, tried...

    Suspension clunk after suspension install?

    So I just had my '15 3 dropped on corksport springs and did Koni Yellow shock/struts as well. After the install, not immediately but pretty soon after I've developed a slight clunk when going over bumps and especially when accidentally hitting a pothole. I'm trying to pinpoint the problem but...

    Horizontal Adjustment Screw?

    Hey guys, this question may seem really stupid but is there a screw to adjust the horizontal direction of the headlights? 2001 Protege. I'm fully aware of where the vertical adjuster is but after almost a year and a half and just putting up with the annoyance of the right housing pointing the...

    It finally happened -___- 01 Protege A/C

    Whelp, summer is pretty much here and the Protege finally has been cursed like the rest with the flickering A/C controls. Anyone experience this too? If so, how did you fix it... It will stay illuminated and working on 1 all the time, never works on 2 or 3, and it's hit or miss on 4. I switched...

    Misc. parts pulled from a 2005 Mazda3 sport

    Available for local pick-up, or within range I can bring to you. (Depending weight of part) Prices are very negotiable. Car had 60k on it before I totaled it, just for a general wear and tear idea. Washed and waxed almost every week. I live in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Specifically Pasadena...

    Got pulled over for my tint earlier.

    I was late already late for class, I passed a cop where he always sits. The lady behind me was riding my ass like no other and he pulls out behind her. Follow both of us for about 3 miles or so, pulls up next to me in the left turn lane and as I turned right, he flipped his lights on. Bastard...

    Smacked a curb at 40-45

    Alright guys, a little embarrassing but Thursday I wasn't paying attention to how close I was to the left side and ended up smacking a curb causing the rim to bend/tear so much that it stopped the wheel's movement, sending me skidding to a halt into the merge lane. After reviewing what damage I...

    Pretty sure my HID kit murdered my battery.

    Alright so we went to convert my regular bulbs to HID today, not realizing the battery in my car was manufactured in 2006 and has been in another car previously. One light was in and tested, all was well, after the other was hooked up we turned them on to test and to no avail. The interior...

    2001 Antenna question

    Anyone know what the deal is with the antenna on the 01 ES sedan model? Is there any way to remove it? I think in the later models they made it so it's retractable but clearly not mine lol. It just sits there ugly and sticking out of the side.

    No air on fan speed 2 or 3

    Well, before my fan speed knob got ripped off by my careless father I would only have working air conditioning on 1 and 4, the AC light would shut off on 2 or 3, I remember reading something about it but does anyone have this issue too or know a solution to it?

    Metal on metal bang

    Hey guys, only recently has my car been developing an extremely annoying and worrying constant bang coming from the front driver's side wheel if the slightest shift in movement is felt. I got out and rocked the car back and forth and don't you know you can hear it then too, only if it's rocking...

    Odd rotation noise after axle install.

    Hey all, we just recently dropped my car with Tein S-tech's and replaced all struts, but had to replace the driver's side spindle knuckle and also a new axle. After 20 days of wrong parts being ordered and complications I finally got fed up 98% from being completed and had her towed to a shop so...
