    winter tires

    Toyo GO2+ or Yokohama IG20 in 175/65-14. Same diameter as our OEM tires. Just need to buy some 14 inch steel wheels. Mine are Hondas and fit perfectly. I have GO2+ and I'm going on my third winter with them and travel a lot in bad road conditions. They never failed me and I used to rally.

    CorkSport SRI Cold Air Duct

    Get it shipped to Freeport USA. They are just south of the Lacolle Border and see if you could have someone close to Montreal go pick it up for you. They will need all proofs of your purchase (Paypal, CS bill, tracking, etc...). Here's the link: http://www.freeportforwarding.com/ I got my CS...

    Autocross Pictures and Videos

    Finished 2nd in paxed Street Prepared class. The years of experience helped a lot. I started in 1992 but really did full autoslalom seasons from 1998 to 2010. Never felt close to rolling over. Got to feel the second stage of the stability control kick in a few times. Andy, which fuse do we have...

    Suspension noise, swaybar links?

    He informed me that another customer had the same problem and that was the part they changed. But during his inspection, his face changed when he pulled up and down on the inner tie-rod.

    Suspension noise, swaybar links?

    My 2 was inspected by the chief-mechanic with me right beside him, I trust his diagnostic.

    Suspension noise, swaybar links?

    Well I installed the Raybestos links on my 2, but the noise did not go away. It was exactly the same as before. Today I went to get it inspected at the dealer by the chief-mechanic. He informed me that they will change the steering rack and pinion assembly and the parts are back-order in Canada...

    Do 275/35-15 fit on our little 2s. Well they did on mine this week-end but not on the optimal size wheel. They were on 15x8 with 25mm offset. My buddy broke his SM Miata the day before during the Time-Attack event. So I offered him to co-drive my little 2 just for the fun of it in FSP. I was...

    Thanks for the update. Just ordered mine and will change them with a smile. So tired of that rattling.

    Suspension noise, swaybar links?

    I got the exact same problem you do with my 2 and the dealer. The thing is when the car is lifted, the decompression of the suspension puts some tension on the links, removing any loose when they are being inspect. Next time I go to the dealer for a check, I'll ask him to inspect again but on...

    Adjustable Mazda 2 Struts/Shocks

    Hi Derrick Way back I drove a 1995 Neon ACR DOCH in DSP class and loved the linear rate coils that Mopar offered (ACR, High rates and Extra high rates). Started with the High rates with off the shelf Konis and after 2 seasons moved to the Extra high rates and had my Konis revalved for them. Had...

    Mazda 2 Cold weather Bushing problems?

    I did not find any marks showing there was an impact on the plastic at the bottom of the windshield. I'll wait until this spring to get it changed but will get my dealer to take a good look at it during the next oil change. I do over 550km a week so it should be toward end of February. Our...

    Mazda 2 Cold weather Bushing problems?

    I own the base model but manual and got a scrounching noise coming from my dash that disappears just like you. Since it disappears quickly I don't bother with it. And now my windshield has cracked at the bottom and no noise since.

    Mazda2 Tires Size

    Me I got 14" Honda rims with Toyo GO-2+ in 175/65-14 size. They are the same diameter as the OE tire on the 2 and the rims fit no problem. To me this tire is the best all-around winter tire I ever had and we get more than our fair share of bad winter road conditions up here. Some friends tried...

    Rear wheel air time

    I finished well mid-pack because my times weren't as fast the the ones on the first day on the fully prepared ST car which allowed me to be in the top 12 out of 40 on saturday. The top drivers in JCW and Cooper S Minis, and STi WRXs over here are very fast. It's an extremely competitive class...

    Rear wheel air time

    Here's some almost 2 wheels air-time straight from the Inter-Provincial Challenge close to Montreal. The street touring car I was co-driving broke so I decided to try my Mazda2. Except for the bike rack on top, it was as delivered by the dealer. It was fun. Next time I flick it through the...

    14" Wheels mounted

    Well I did not end up buying my Mazda2 from the first dealer, who also said that 14" steelies would not fit. I bough it closer to Montreal (Albi) and he confirmed that 14" steelies fit. Just did a test-fit and no problem at all, he's right.

    14" Wheels mounted

    My Mazda dealer informed me that 14" steel wheels won't fit in the front. Hopefully it does not snow too much for the next 2 weeks.
