Hi, One of the pulleys on my fathers 2008 tribute 4 cylinder has a broken bearing. We've removed the pulley but I'm curious as to the name of it. It's the one closest to the hood that has not other function then for the belt to have a pivot point and run towards the back. I'm looking for an...

Hi all, So my Mazdaspeed 6 was read ended on 9-18 and now I'm in the market for a new car. I'm looking at the impreza hatch or sportback as well as the lancer hatch. I know we're on a mazda forum but I'm hoping to get as non biased an opinion as possible and the reason behind the opinion...

Hey guys, a while back my ex had bought me some rotora ceramics front pads (for the ms6) but hadnt had a chance to install them. I hadnt even seen the brakes until yesterday, but I'm not sure if these are the right ones for the speed 6. I dont feel like taking off a wheel and taking out the...

I just finished installing my new audiolink with ipod adapter. I've got a few dislikes but nothing major considering you can control the ipod with the steering wheel controls. My only main gripe is the fact that the extra 1/8 plug is not as long as the main ipod wire. I'm gonna need to get...

Hey Guys, What's everyones opinion on the Rotora H2 brakes that are being sold by TheRPMStore ? I need new brakes but I'm not sure I wanna spend $100 on the EBC brakes. I guess I'll have to if the rotoras aren't to good but I just wanna get peoples opinion. More than anything I'm looking for...

So I've started hearing my brakes squeak when I slow down. Am thinking of replacing them myself but am afraid of damaging something, is there a tutorial somewhere on how to install new break pads? also, as far as dust, what brakes do you all recommend to lessen the amount of brake dust?

I just got my first CEL. Checked it, shows up as 2 error codes, both P0455, one with the Pending symbol on it, the other without it. What does that mean, "Pending". Also, I looked it up and shows that it could be the gas cap not being tighted properly. Truthfully the cap when I tighten...

am looking for a boost gauge with a digital read out. Do they make those? reason I'd like digital read out is just because I think I personally would have a MUCH easier time reading exact boost as opposed to a dial one where you have to pay close attention to the exact position of it. Also...

So guys, I was planning on doing my own oil changes but now that I see I need a special tool to remove the oil filter has me a little worried. How much more difficult is this then a normal oil filter. Also, I've changed oil in 3 different vehicles and all use a normal oil filter, how much more...

So I dont like how long the mazdaspeed6 badge looks on the trunk. I was thinking of replacing it with a atenza badge on the left of the trunk where the mazdaspeed6 badge is and an MPS badge on the right of the trunk. What do you all think of that? So it looks like SU is still being blocked, I...

So I was looking at headlights on the speed6 and noticed there are 4 "housings" for bulbs. Lets say driver side has, when looked at from the front of the car, first from the right is HID projector, second from the right is turn signal, fourth from the right is high beams, but what is the third...

Hey, so I just noticed something today, back of my speed6 has 1 badge, "Mazdaspeed6". Is that how they all come? cause I remember having looked at a black speed6 GT that had the mazda6 (or maybe just 6, not sure) badge on the driver side and passenger side had a MPS badge. Also, that black GT...

So I saw a mention of getting the front windshield tinted and I was wondering who actually has gotten it done and to what %. Maybe post pics if you have it done as in a before and after look. Also, if you have gotten it done how has the po-po treated you?

well this is funny. :) I just noticed that the mazda6 forums are sponsored by nucar. I just went to see them on friday about an 06 speed6 they have in stock. Wonder if Sean, the sales guy is on here (no wonder he mentioned the mod to the clutch could be found online). Anyways, nucar how...

Quick question everyone, does the speed3 have flip down back seats? only reason I ask is cause I read that the speed6 removed the accessibility to the flip down option in favor of a reinforcement bars. Is this the case with the 3 or did they get around it somehow?
