    Center dash panel lights out

    I have lost the lights on the center dash, including the lights on the radio buttons and climate control. It's probably related to the boost gauge that I wired in; I tapped the line for the dimmer switch to do that. When I remove the tap, I don't get the lights back. I haven't found a blown...

    Cold pipe

    I have seen a post or two about custom cold pipes connected to an upgraded TMIC that are supposed to flow better than the stock one. I have been searching around but I can't find anything about this.....can anyone point me in the right direction? I just got a ETS 3.25" TMIC (a major steal off...

    Pinging sound when gear engages

    Hi folks, The other day, I started to notice a click or ping sound when I engage a gear in the transmission. It doesn't happen every time, and it happens most from a stop, though I have heard it in the other gears (easiest to hear when not moving obviously). It doesn't seem to matter if I do...

    Oil, knocking and Dashhawk

    Took my car to the dealer yesterday...I have been having a knocking issue that needed to be looked at, and while I was there I had the oil changed and a couple other things done (can't do big things like that in the condo garage). A couple things came from the day: - The service guy said that...

    Difference between Cobb SRI for MS3 and MS6

    I keep seeing lots of these come up for sale for the MS3 and almost none for the MS6. They look to be the same, is that true? I would guess the bracket is a bit different, but everything else should be the same since it's the same engine. I can MacGyver a bracket (presuming one is necessary...

    How to: Auto dimming compass mirror with Homelink

    Howdy folks, This is the installation how to for the Gentek GenK45A mirror; similar models will probably work the same way. I got mine from eBay through XXXXX; you can probably ask him for the Mazdaspeed setup like he did for the guy in Pasadena (me), and he should be able to set you up...

    Knock knock

    So I was floating along on the freeway today, and went to accelerate past another car. I was probably doing 60-65 in 6th gear, around 2500rpm, and I didn't hammer the throttle...I was actually pretty light on it. But, I got a bucking going in the car, a pretty serious vibration, and then my...

    Dashhawk log advice

    Hi folks, This morning, I had a chance to take some runs at the freeway onramps on the 210 here in Pasadena; there are several in a row where you can run up and then get off. It's the first time I've had a chance to really run the car out, and I logged them with my Dashhawk. The attached...

    Dashhawk measurement of boost question

    So I set up my new Dashhawk, and I have been trying to find the option to display boost. I get numbers if I select Boost/Vacuum, or Boost in Kpa or the other units, but I don't get any readings if I select Boost in PSI. All I can think is that I'm not selecting the right option, but I can't...

    Sticking emergency brake

    From time to time, I've heard a small pop in the morning when I start driving the car. Tuesday and today it got larger, and from what happened today it looks like the emergency brake is sticking. We've been getting a lot of rain in SoCal. Tuesday morning when I left for work, the left rear...

    Looking to buy, have a question.....

    Hi folks, I'm looking to purchase a MS6, but so far I'm having a bit of a challenge finding one that has everything I'm looking for. It seems like finding MS6s without the navigation system is easy, but one with the navigation system as well as anything else I might want isn't as simple. The...
