    Huge 13b lot from storage unit

    Hi all, I've always wanted an RX-7, but have yet to own one. I unexpectedly picked up a 13B motor with turbo in a storage unit auction. There are various other parts as well. It looks like the motor will need to be rebuilt and knowing nothing of the history of the car, I can't say if the owner...

    2003 P5 - Timing belt broke - need complete head FS9

    Thanks all. The whole non-interference/interference question has become a bit more clear to me. I even had to call Mazda headquarters to get a reasonable answer. In my case, having the belt break at highway speed, it was (very) interference. I called Mazda and they basically said that tight...

    2003 P5 - Timing belt broke - need complete head FS9

    The title pretty much says it all... I see them remanufactured on the internet for $350+, but lots of sketchy reviews. If you have one from your P5 or have any input on good sources of quality reman. ones, please share. This is somewhat urgent. Thanks!

    205 65 15 snow tires - do they fit?

    Hi guys, I just picked up a lightly used set of Michelin Ice-x studless snow tires in 205 65 r15 with steel rims. I thought the size would work after some quick google searches, but now I'm concerned because nobody seems to be running them on the forum. I was going to have them swapped on...

    Hey guys, A wind storm knocked a board into the mirror and snapped it off so it just hangs by the wire/cable. Oops. Looking for a replacement that is in good condition. Thanks, Jeremy

    noise on start up

    there was less than 10mm deflection, but now there may be more. The engine was too hot to really get in there... I tried to get that tool from Oreilly's, but they didn't have any. Thanks.

    noise on start up

    OK, maybe I spoke too soon. The first couple starts with the new belts went fine. But the last start was met with worse squealing than even the old belts caused... The car had probably been run for about 1.5 hours or so since the replacement, then allowed to cool entirely. The next start was...

    noise on start up

    Thanks for the reply. That is good to hear that its a relatively easy fix. We also need to replace the front motor mount (radiator side). Do you guys have any experience with that one? Thanks again!

    noise on start up

    I need to replace the belts on our 2003 P5. Are any of you aware of a decent write-up for the repair? I'm have some experience with repairs, but detailed walkthroughs are still nice to have. Thanks!

    I need to do some repairs on my wife's 2003 p5. I will be replacing the drive belts (water pump, alternator, ac, ps, 2 belts total) and the front motor mount, which the dealer says is cracked. Its a manual transmission with about 65,000 miles on it. Do any of you have advice on these...
