The wheels have some rash and scrapes on them . Great for winter set-up or refinish them as you like. I used them as-is . Not shipping , sorry. I...

    New water pump dead after only 25k miles?

    My car has 125K miles on it and the water pump +all belts were done around 100k. Now a god-awful, ball-bearings-gone-bad noise started a few days back and it's coming right from the water pump pulley area. I removed the ac/ps belt and those units are noise free. No leaks or overheating...

    Is there a source for the little adhesive Mazda emblems that stick in the center of the caps? I don't need the entire cap..... just the 45mm resin button.

    Biggest P.O.S. on the road....?

    I see this car frequently driving around my neighborhood, finally caught it standing still. Note the square plexi drivers window. Shame....it's desirable early Firebird....I think you can see the outline of a "400" emblem too.

    Anyone use 185/55-16's on stock rims?

    I was looking at Blizzaks in this size thinking that narrower is better for winter and for a lowered car. Not sure if the stock rims can handle that size, however. Will they mount OK?

    Car pulls to the left

    I can't seem to find the cause of my car pulling to the left. I checked tire pressure & had it aligned, no difference. Then I changed the springs,struts, endlinks, got it aligned again , no difference. I thought maybe one of the brake calipers on the left was dragging, but that's not it...

    I was looking at my 2000 MPV's tail lights and they look SOOO close to the P5 lights. Anyone know if they are the same? Search turns up nothing.

    Any New Yorkers' w/ header ? Emissions question.

    Since my stock exhaust has rusted together , hopes of a cat-back are out the window. I was going to replace it all with a obx header/catted mid-pipe/cat-back system. In New York, will I get grief for the header at inspection time? Or, is it sniff only?
