    My Speed got stolen last night........

    Your right. The club is unbreakable. The problem is the steering wheel is not. All those bastards have to do is get a cheap pair of bolt cutters and cut the steering wheel. Then they have your car. The club is the biggest waste of money and they mislead their customers into a false sense of...

    Whats going on with all the problems?

    I have read the comments defending Mazda and I understand that position to a point. This car is not an EVO or STi yet those references are made on these boards everyday. But what about all the problems these cars have everyday that are not related to increase in boost or abuse. The rotor...

    Warped Rotors - Post your details

    11,000 mi. Warranty resurfaced. They did not replace the pads. So guess what? The rotors needed to be resurfaced again at 15,000 mi.

    new problem

    Got the car back. The dealer had it for two weeks. I was not impressed. Now the car won't easily go into 2nd, 4th or reverse. The only Mazda mechanic the dealer has is on vacation and won't be back until March 15th. I have to wait 2 more weeks just to have them fix something that they broke...

    new problem

    The funny thing is the car drives great most of the time. If you are on the highway and you need to pass someone you can drop the hammer and it goes. The only time this problem shows up is when you are either at a dead stop and you want to take off hard or if you are going like 5-10mph waiting...

    new problem

    I took the car into my local dealer on Monday. They had no idea what the problem is. I called them back today and they think it is the limited slip differential. They told me that it might be 2 weeks before they get the parts if that is the problem. They didn't sound very sure of themselves...

    new problem

    When I take off from a stop I can hear and feel a metal on metal sound and the car doesn't seem to want to go. It seems to be coming from under the right front of the car. At first the transmission seemed to slip before engaging and progressed to this new problem. Any ideas on what this might...

    Question about downpipes

    This might sound like a stupid question but I was wondering "What part is actually the downpipe?" The reason I ask this is because Corksport shows a short pipe that is coming directly off of the turbo and looks to mount up to the part that Apex and Protosport are calling their downpipe. Both...
