    I would be interested in the Racing Beat Muffler, Corksport Adjustable Dampers and Eibach Springs. PM me with product info (estimated mileage, condition etc) and cost including shipping. I live in Philadelphia, PA.

    2012 Mazda 2 radio and brake pedal issues

    Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have experienced these issues or know the fix. When I start the car, the radio turns on at max volume for a split second only. This only happens when the radio is off when I start the car. It does not matter how low the volume is when I turn the car off...

    Mazda 2 STF Autocross Build

    I bought a DDM Works Short Shifter with bushings and rear torsion bar. I will be installing them soon. I won't be too active this season since I play in a local soccer league on Sunday morning's, which is when the solo events run.

    What car did you get as a replacement? Any plans to keep auto-crossing?

    Mazda 2 STF Autocross Build

    Does anyone know of a shop that can fabricate engine parts, turbocharge NA cars, and program ECU's for non-rotary Mazda's? I contacted JTune, PowerHaus, PSIProPerformance and other shops within an hour of Philadelphia. No one is willing to work on a car (Mazda2) they are unfamiliar with. Some...

    CX5 vs Forester XT

    My wife and I did cross shop these cars in the past year along with the Ford Edge, Subaru Outback, Honda CR-V, and GMC Terrain. Actually Subaru and Mazda were the only dealerships that let us do a 24 hour test drive where we took the CX-5 and the Subaru Outback and Forester home. We did not...

    What did you do to your Mazda2 today?

    WHAT?! And I was thinking of PMing you to see if I can test drive it this Sunday with the autocross setup. I'm driving to North Jersey.

    Will adding 91 octane gas improve horse power?

    Technically yes, but it will not be noticeable at all and it is not worth the extra cost. Higher octane fuel is more difficult to combust. When it does combust, it creates a slightly more powerful explosion in the cylinders than lower octane fuel. More powerful combustion means more hp...

    So who's getting a 2016 Miata?

    I test drove the 16' MX5 Club and I was disappointed. The 13' MX-5 Club felt sportier and quicker even though the newer one is quicker on paper. My Mazda 2 has less body roll. A Toyota Sienna or Corolla has less body roll than the ND MX-5. It also feels tighter than the NC. I had trouble finding...

    Just ordered a new Mazda2

    I read online a while ago that the upcoming Yaris will be a re-badged Mazda 2 hatchback, but that was before Toyota announced that they will phase out Scion in 2017. Now I am not sure what will happen. Maybe the Scion iA sedan will be renamed to Toyota Yaris. I don't think the 6 speed...

    Mazda 2 STF Autocross Build

    Well we got about 2 feet of snow in Philadelphia. I live in a neglected area called NE Philly, where plow trucks have still not reached us after 3 days. I noticed a few AWD SUV's getting stuck on my street throughout the day, but I decided to be brave and test out my new Dunlop WinterMaxx snow...

    Mazda 2 STF Autocross Build

    The Hypergram looks nice. I might get those if they are affordable and available this Spring.

    Mazda 2 STF Autocross Build

    I don't really like the style of the 6UL's. They look better on an older car. The futuristic style of the Mazda2 does not match it in my opinion. I do intend to be competitive.

    I'm actually looking at the CS adjustable struts and shocks with CS springs. They are being sold as a set discounted at $540 total + shipping.

    I'm leaning towards the storm because the Konig's 12 spokes makes it look busy.

    Mazda 2 STF Autocross Build

    Forget the 7.5" wide wheels. I don't like the styles available. Here are three affordable 15" x 7" wheels all under 11 lbs each. I will choose one of these. Konig Dial In +35 offset, 10.9 lbs =$448 + free shipping. Advanti Racing Storm S1 +35 offset, 10.0 lbs= $508 + shipping

    Mazda 2 STF Autocross Build

    Anyone know where I can get 15x7.5" wheels for the Mazda2? Tirerack won't let me go past 15x7" width wise.
