I got a replacement battery and it seems about half an inch taller than the old one. I can get the battery tie down to go over it, but just barely, and when it's tightened the tie down bracket is visibly bent. I checked with dealer and they said it is definitely the right battery, so is this...

Hey all, I've had my 2006 Mazda6 i4 manual stored for a year and just jump started it off another car. The motor turns slowly at first but it does start and idles normally. However when I disconnect the jumper cables, the engine stalls. Anyone know what might be going on? Thanks!

When I have the car jacked up on 1 corner and I turn the front wheel hard, it stops almost immediately. Moves for less than a quarter turn by itself. Is this normal? My gas mileage is relatively normal, maybe down 2 mpg from a couple years ago, but probably not significant. Brake pads and discs...

So apparently my valve cover gasket is leaking. Dealer spotted it for me and says repair is $103. Does anyone know how much the parts would cost and how hard it is to do yourself? They also said that the power steering fluid is dirty and should be flushed, but the manual says that it shouldn't...

WTB the MSP knob with yellow accents and a 5-speed shift pattern on top. Please quote me for price and shipping to 98052. Thanks!

I've got one with the wiring from the sub to the back seat. How should I go about doing the wires from there to the head unit? Anyone know of any guides or anything that'll help? I'm not really sure where to even start. What kind of wires should I get, are there any wiring harness already...

I just got the oval tipped muffler off an MSP. Where, and how long should I get the shop to cut it to fit on my P5? Thanks!

I noticed the stock radio has this big rubber knob on the back that fits tightly into the bracket in the back of the dash. That secures the unit and makes it feel rock solid. Most aftermarket decks don't have that rubber knob, so how do you guys secure it and prevent it from moving or rattling...

Hey guys, What are my options for installing a hidden subwoofer in my P5? I really want it to look stock and don't want to take up any trunk space. I'm thinking maybe something small under the passenger seat, or something that fits in the spare tire? Do such things exist? I think a small one...

There seems to be rust on the inside of my fog light, behind the glass on the metal part. Anyone run into this and/or know a good way to fix it? Thanks!

I'm trying to remove the weights from my stock 02 rims, they're the type that clip to the edge of the rim face. Tried using something to pry it off, but I don't want to gouge it too deeply, how do I get em off?

I didn't think anyone would actually try it in real life. http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos-08/03-09-08page-Chevy-Camaro-crazy-highway-trick.htm

I'm wondering if anyone has any interesting info on the stock rim paint (2002 specifically, if there's any difference) Is there a specific paint code for it at Mazda? What is it, anyway? I'm looking at a set that has a lot of bubbling and peeling, and it looks to my untrained eye that the...

I'm getting bad clutch chatter lately so I'm thinking about getting my clutch replaced. Two questions: 1. What options do I have for clutches? I want something easy to drive, and costs hopefully no more than the stock clutch. 2. How much does it typically cost for labour to replace a clutch? Thanks!

Hey guys, When my car is cold there is a lot of white stuff that comes out of the exhaust. I can tell it's a lot because when I accelerate I can see it from the driver's seat. It goes down as the car warms up, but takes a long long time to completely go away (long after the temp gauge is at...

These are marks from on top of my dash. They were there when I bought the car, so I'm not exactly sure what they're from, but it looks like some hot coffee spilled when a cup was placed there. I tried just cleaning it, but no dice. Any idea how I could fix this, or conceal it a bit? Thanks!

Does anyone know how to remove the B-pillar cover? I'm trying to figure out how to install EL door sills and some how-to's seem to say that the grounds should be tapped into something that's on the driver's side B-pillar. Thanks!

Has anyone tried Nokians before? I'm looking at the WRs or WRG2 for my next set. I want something that works in snow for the 2 or 3 days a year it snows here. They seem to be really expensive though, does anyone know where I might get them cheap online?

I know we had a thread on painted rear valences not long ago, but I just spent like 15 mins searching and couldn't find it. Does anyone know where it is? And did we have a how-to on it as well? Thanks!
