    Engine mounts, vibration and frustration

    When I had the broken mount, I couldn't even notice it while driving. The thing that caught my attention was fluid under the car. I checked it out and apparently the passenger side mount(the one that broke) has hydrolic fluid in it and it all leaked out. Your car sounds like it has a...

    which synthetic oil to use?

    I use Castrol Syntec 5w-20 with an STP filter. My car has 62K miles and I haven't had any problems. I change my oil about every 7500 miles or so but I have gone 11K miles without an oil change with no ill effects. I was going to use Mobil 1 instead of the Castrol Syntec but when I went to...

    Review: KYB GR-2/Excel-G Shocks/Struts

    I just put some KYB GR-2/Excel-G shocks and struts on my 5. My 5 has 62K miles and the shocks and struts were pretty much blown about 10K miles ago. The front passenger was the only one leaking fluid but the entire ride was rough so I knew they all had to get swapped out. If you're looking for...

    Rear Brake Pads

    I'm looking for a 'how to' to change the rear pads on my 5. I know how to do brakes but I cant take the rear pads out. The pad next to the caliper piston is attached to the piston itself. It's weird. I've never seen that before. The back of the pads have this thin metal clip like thing... I...

    Favourite type of oil ?

    you're not going to benefit from going to 5-40. stick with 5-30 or go back down to the oem 5-20.

    navigation won't accept address or POI

    Go through all the settings and make sure something didn't change itself. I also have an 06 touring w/navi and one day the settings changed itself to avoid all major highways... it was wierd.

    K&N air filter

    I got my K&N Drop in filter about 2 weeks after I got my 5. Acceleration seemed a bit noticeable but nothing impressive. I couldn't tell a difference in gas mileage though.

    Favourite type of oil ?

    I'm using castrol syntec. Honestly, I just grabbed it because the store I was at didn't have any 5-20 mobile 1 full synthetic. I've just never changed over to mobile 1 because the castrol syntec works great... In my opinion, it's just personal preference and what oil people like to use...

    Which 3 is more like our 5?

    The spring rate is almost identical for both the 3 and the 5 springs and i'm doing this just to close some wheel gap. I'm not looking to take corners faster. Plus, I don't want a drop that those springs you listed offer and the mazdaspeed ones, as far as i've seen them, cost a pretty penny. The...
