Do you keep the stock air filter in?

I've tried hawk brakes what I don't like about them is that they don't have that initial "bite" like the oem pads

Do you think it's just engine movement when shifting causing that noise?

I have an auto mazda2 and recently I have noticed a weird whining noise when gears are being shifted on higher rpms(4.5k-6k) will trigger that noise. Kind of sounds like it's slipping or like a metal to metal rub. Any ideas or has anybody encountered something like this? Probably have to make a...

Just take it off it'll look better no matter what

Ya I know exactly what you're talking about. I was raised in LA and I drove my speed 3 down there and I got stuck in traffic so I'm like screw this lol I'm going back to Washington and I don't really want to go back to LA. Terrible drivers.

IMO it's pointless because a speed 3 is a FWD and it's irritating to try to have traction with that car and torque steer. Speed 3 is a lot heavier than the 2. Imagine putting that kinda power on that little car. Like others have said in this thread, 180whp for this car is more than enough in...

Just go with aftermarket shocks such as Koni. That's what I'm running on my 3. The 3 also comes with bad shocks that are usually blown around the 50-60k mark. Maybe around 500-600 from autoanything.com no point replacing oem shocks

Hi everyone! I'm not new to this forum but I just picked up a 2012 Mazda 2 touring. Here's a picture of her:

Hi everyone. I just bought a Mazda2 and was wondering if anyone here have installed a HID kit on this car. I have a Mazdaspeed 3 with HIDs so it feels kinda weird not having HIDs. Thanks in advance!

Lol and the thread is from 09. What the hell am I doing

Ya 30k for normal driving. Also depends on what oil you use. If you change it yourself it's cheaper than a synthetic oil change. And I'm talking about MT90. Better early than late.

Definitely the RMM causing the exhaust movement.

I had the EGR problem and the rattle in the rear before. Usually the rattle from the rear is caused by the end links. I brought that in one time and they replaced the end links. But your other problems I've never had and my car is at 83k. Hope you get your car back soon!

No need to really flush the tranny. I have my tranny oil changed every 15-20k. I'm at 83k now everything still good.

If I were you I would get it tuned professionally. OTS maps are more on the safe side and it wont bring the best out of the parts you have.

I get those bulbs from http://autolumination.com make sure you get the ones with the heat sinks so you wouldn't have the flickering problem like mAtrixfcuk.

bosch ones last a really long time!

Sorry to hear that. I got lucky right when I got the notice my car was at 698XX. Took it in as soon as I can. $900+ sounds a lot. I would try to find like a motorsports shop that work on our cars. Mostly likely it'd be cheaper. http://www.cobbtuning.com/Domestic-Pro-Tuners-s/70754.htm#Mazda try...
