    MSP Bumpsteer

    I'm having this problem but also another and I think they're related. see my other post http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123731077. I recently took a second opinion on my other related problem and the guy said if you lower a car without doing it right it'll act as if it has...

    weird front suspension issue

    I should think something is wrong with my suspension due to the fact that my spring on that side is able to fully rotate around the strut seating, the other side is totally immobile, can I be that wrong?

    weird front suspension issue

    ok, I just googled the number I can see on the side of my springs....pretty sure they're fakes. They read "R-P1M47-OUO" can't find this on Tein's site nor on google, anyone else have any input on this?

    weird front suspension issue

    Ok maybe its not too weird, but its bugging me because I nor my mechanic knows why the hell its like this. I bought my MSP in Aug 08 and haven't touched a part on it yet, but about a month before she came off the road for the winter in Dec I noticed a nasty creak sound from the right front wheel...

    Belt Squeal That Wont Go Away!

    I dealt with this problem for over a year on my '02 P5. Believe it or not it has almost nothing to do with the actual mechanics of your car(or at least this was case on mine). I replaced two alternators, three belts and almost replaced my perfectly working water pump. Turns out that at the best...

    Buying an '02 P5 - What to lookout for?

    Yeah the headlight issue seems somewhat prominent, I've had one headlamp(low beam) plug melt a week after I bought mine and since then I just discovered that the newer(1.75 years old) plug we used to replace the melted one has some nice brown almost burnt colour to it. I will be switching to...

    crazy neighbors?

    Holy freaks, I'm glad I live where I do. I have some trashy neighbors, but nothing even close to that. My buddy used to live next door to this lady who is albeit a little mentally ill(but should really not be living on her own), she used to come out and stand behind him when he was backing out...

    Tail of the Dragon Trip??

    You guys should check out the Port Alberni to Tofino highway on Vancouver Island up here in BC if you can manage to take a trip up here, its like four hours of wicked twist hill climb and descent road looking at some BC's most beautiful landscapes. The highway is a rockin good time and Tofino at...

    Wrong To Scam A Scammer?

    Still kinda sketchy.... all morals aside this could legally come back to haunt you. I'm all for teachin' someone a lesson but he could say anything not just that you stopped him from scamming etc. Plus hes gotta have a contingency plan just in case someone gets smart to his "style" of business...

    just a few questions

    If you're that new to the whole audio scene then go to Best Buy or FutureShop and don't let them talk you out of lots of money, they want to just make money, but there is some stuff there thats cheap and totally acceptable. Other than that, look a dealer up in the yellow pages, not hard to find...

    just a few questions

    I would go to a car audio dealer, not the Sony store(overpriced) and listen to the setups they have on their walls. Pick out what you like together and check the price; if its too much, go for the next best and so on until you're satisfied.
