    So I'm selling my Qualir AutoDvdGps 7inch Display HU, due to the fact that I spontaneously bought it, in which I shouldnt have since I need the money. Anyway, this HU is amazing. I wish I didnt have to sell it so quickly (I just got it last week), but I gotta do what I gotta do. I paid $390.00...

    "squeaking" or weird noise apparent while depressing gas pedal

    So on my 2012 speed 3 with 2700k miles on it, a strange squeaking noise is apparent only when the clutch is engaged and the gas pedal is being depressed or let go. This only occurs when you give it gas or take your foot off of the pedal. So if I ease on the gas while the clutch is engaged, it...

    The Fujita is the loudest filter I've experienced so far.

    I just swaped out my Sure motorsports filter for the Fujita (45 dollars on Ebay, 3 inch) and its much much more louder then the Sure and mostly any other standard filter I've utilized. I did my research prior to and I was pretty sure that it would be an increase in sound, and it is. Just an FYI...

    Smoking Turbo at 1K. Possible break in period? Brand new Speed 3 with Tech

    I literally just hit 1K on my odometer in which I bought my speed 3 the middle of Oct and I just noticed some smoke occuring when I down shifted it and gave it a little gas. I am very aware about the smoking turbo thread and anything related, but at 1K? Seriously? I just put a short ram on and...

    Back to being a Speed 3 owner!

    So I just picked up a 2012 Speed 3 in Velocity Red with Touring package about 6 hours ago. I owned a Speed 6 for 3 years, ventured into an 08 Infiniti G37 Sport Coupe (which was sold to me as a lemon...and of course I didnt know it. Had to get rid of it ASAP), then finally got out of my frame...

    Might look into buying a Speed 6 with 68k for 16,400. Worth it?

    I havent seen the car in person yet, but I think its a pretty good price considering. What should I look for as far as maintenance or repairs goes at this amount of miles? Smoking turbo? Clutch slip? What would be the typical part that would need to be replaced? My old speed 6 had no issues up...

    Opinion needed: Possibly reverting back to a Speed 6 or something similar from 08 g37

    So in December I spontaneously traded in my 06 speed 6 for a 2008 Infiniti g37 (fully loaded mind you and a cert pre owned) with 36k on the tach for $28,500. The main reason for trading in my speed 6 (eventhough I loved my speed 6 and it ran flawlessly at 58k), was the fact of avoiding needed...

    Traded in the Speed 6 for.....

    So after a near flawless three years with my beloved Speed 6, I finally decided to trade her in at 60k, for a 2008 Infiniti g37 with 36k on the tach. I definitely miss my speed 6, but the time has finally come for a change of pace. With that, I was looking at the new WRX's and Genesis coupe 3.8...

    Will the Speed 6 pass Emissions/Smog with a test pipe?

    Here in Las Vegas, our smog check is done by plugging the car into their computer, not by a sensor in the exhaust. With that, by having a test pipe installed, would that ultimately fail the car for the smog test? I'm honestly thinking no being that the car is being plugged in. Hence thats the...

    Motor Mounts producing noises?

    So I take it that when a motor mount wears out, it starts to make noises that might make one think its a transmission related issue? Hence my other post........

    Noises from the Clutch (Possible Clutch adjustment TSB will solve issue?)

    There seems to be an engage or disengage noise (if that makes sense), when the accelerator is pressed and let go, everytime in first gear. Upon pressing it, a click noise appears and same with disengaging it. I could press the accelerator and let go of it, and the noise is consistant everytime...

    High beam issue (started when replaced with h1 LED)

    So I just installed two h1 high beam bulbs (if you will) and my left HID now comes on randomly and when I turn on my fog lamps, the high beam indicator comes on as well. Now I know that LEDs dont require as much electricity to power and obviously when you turn on your high beams the fog lamps...

    FS: AEM 3.0 Dryflow Air filter

    For sale is a AEM 3.0 Dryflow air filter. I just received it last week from **********, and realizing that my Fujita filter works best with my fujita intake, I have no need for the filter anymore. Hence this filter was only on my Speed 6 for 8 hours. I got it for $50 and am selling it for $35...

    Radiator and/or hose leak

    So at 48.8k miles, I just spotted (and smelled) some antifreeze under the hose on the bottom right of radiator. Does Mazda cover this under the warranty?

    What would you replace your Speed 6 with?

    I love my speed 6, but at 49k I'm already starting to think about what my next car would be. Right now, I'm reallly liking the Hyundai Genesis coupe 3.8 track model with navigation. The car has gotten amazing reviews and even sounds better then its rival, the g37. Other then the Hyundai, I have...

    Tmic

    Are the benefits of buying an after market TMIC far succeed the stock? I read that the stock TMIC piping bottle necks the air flow, thus an after market one like the Street Unit has shown huge increases in airflow and HP. I think this thread answers itself, but I'm curious though. Oh yeah, the...

    Test Pipe Installed. This is my prognosis.

    As of last night, my test pipe is officially installed and this is my prognosis on the entire installation and performance aspects. First things first. We sprayed down the cat with water, then lubed up the bolts with whatever the my friend sprayed on it. We jacked up the front of the car and...

    What are the benefits of the Test Pipe?

    I know it speaks for itself, but I hear mixed reviews of installing the test pipe. Is there a real noticeable sound difference in the exhaust, as in being deeper and/or throater? What about power wise too? I just ordered the test pipe from Protege Garage, so I'm curious. Thanks.

    Replacing HID bulbs

    How difficult is it to replace our HID bulbs with new ones? I ordered a pair of 8k and our owners manual states that only a Mzda tech should do so. Go figure though.
