Hello everyone, My story is that I own a 2013 and at under 3k miles. I start to hear clunk that would happen every time my car would sit still for an extended period of time. Then once it hit around 9-10mph the noise would happen. Now at just over 6k, it's a lot louder and it makes a low pitch...

For those of you that have had your 2's window tinted. How much did it cost to do the hatch window and two rear windows? Plus for the liquid silver 2. Go with black tint or try out bronze tint? ( My Konig Lightspeeds are Bronze in color. )

Hello everyone, The 2 is my first new car, and I decided to do my first oil change rather early. The car hit 1000 miles and I decided to change my oil and put on my CS Skid plate at the same time ( Nice Product ) I noticed though as I was changing the oil, as the factory fill was being...

That's awesome man. The guys at Oak Tree Mazda in San Jose told me the same thing. Woohoo California (wiggle) Has there been any concerns so far with Mazda and their parts for suspension? Any news for premature failures of any suspension parts?

Has anyone measured the weights saved from removing the AC? This would be the first car I ever owned that had A/C on it. Does one merely just cap the A/C lines after removal?

Oh and this thread is turning out to be very very helpful. Increasing my knowledge of a car I know hardly anything about.

This seems like it would be more of a pain? Time wise, and if you're clearances were off, a tad more expensive than your normal valve lash adjusting type correct?

I suppose even if you could get the chance to bring those over to here, they would be considered highly illegal in the US as far as on-road use goes? Ha, I do like how you think though!

Yeah I get where you're coming from. The nature of both is like comparing night and day. However, I myself don't regret the change at all. I think if I would of bought the S brand new that would of been different. Hey, at least your baby went to a good owner, as did mine now. Just so everyone...

Yar, I agree. I've noticed that myself. I suppose that's because of the bigger clearances when the engine is still cold? By the way, do you happen to know the type of valve train our 2's have? ( I tried looking it up, but couldn't find specific answers. DOHC... With what kind of bucket, rocker...

What's with the circle reflector of the after market ones you posted big blue dart? If you get them you should definitely post something up about fitment. That has always been my concern when it comes to cars and aftermarket lights and such. I would love to see them on a car! I'd be interested...

Evening guys and gals, I was merely wondering if Mazda 2 valve train were normally noisy? Brand new 2013 and the noise has been there from the start. Given now, that between makers; clearances and even differences between say a roller rocker set up and regular rocker arm setup, that noises can...

I actually just PM'd you! I've been talking with you through facebook mostly because I actually forgot my password here for a bit. Oh awesome, which manga happens to be your favorite? Yeah, I can get a hold of a lot of scrap Tesla parts and well I am going to try and retro fit some things...

Hey guys and or gals. Thanks for the warm welcome! If there is one thing I enjoy about the internet is car forums! That's pretty cool man, we did just about the same thing. Heh the S2000 was my dream car, but it felt weird to actually own a dream car. Thus what I have heard, and I look...

Good eve! I've been lurking in these forums for awhile now, ha for about the first 1012 miles of my 2013 Mazda 2. I finally decided to make a SN and start posting. The name is Ryan. I recently actually sold my 2002 Honda S2000 so I could straight out buy my 2013 Mazda 2. I will post a picture...
