might be frozen gasasoline in the vent. happens when you fill right to the top of the gas tank in cold weather, the small amount of gasoline isnt as resistant to freezing as the entire amount in the tank. well this happend on my moms sentra, seriously though i could be completely wrong lol

welcome to mazdas rear brakes....ive learned to go ebrake half way and leave it in gear on level ground. every protege with the disc brakes has this issue in the cold. carwash usually unlocks it, i know your pain but not salt related, usually the warmer water lets it release but if you gonna...

also...any laws or regulations in messing with emission systems in your area? in my opinion, not worth it, but thats also personal preference loaded with preference in keeping my car street legal.

long trips become a bit of a pain... ive wanted to install the vibrant super quite resonatore for a while now, just havent gotten around to it.

more than likely the wastegate diaphram is torn so its leaking at idle (thats your vacuum loss) and its leeking under boost so its not opening the plenum to let out extra exhaust gas so its causing higher boost. thats my take and it looks like you exhausted all others options. ppl like the atp...

that silincer is a little b****... tightest one ive iver seen lol. stopped caring about damaging it. basically pliers to tug the b**** out and hammer the back of the pliers to push it back in rotating around the corners (yes i know its round lol but top, bottom, left side right side kinda thing)

your more than welcome to run it through the intercooler, but people put it there so the hot air is released and the colder air remains inside the piping, so as soon as you get on it, cold air is still there, hot air in your engine bay while driving at 100 km/h is not gonna do a whole lot of...

from my understanding maf at least 6 inches away from throttle body, then at least another 6 inches away from the maf you can put your bov, however cold side or hot side is debatable. as long as its on the pressure side of things youll be alright. people like getting rid of the hot air rather...

+1 on the cutting off lol. and so from what i gather not worth going to awr's lol. post up the price you paid for your oem endlinks when you get em.

just out of curiosity, have you though about going with the awr endlinks? i have the same noises front and back (minus popping) and pretty sure its the endlinks. anyway the awrs looked like a nice upgrade. not a huge difference in price either i believe.

i noticed the same issue on my car, replaced the motor mounts and went away, but i still have to replace a mount so it came back once the mounts settled a bit

im just gonna assume manual lol

that damn dipstick gets me every time....so angry when i go chech the oil. also i do it shut down after a couple min or before i get in to drive. dont really think about it that much tho.

in the end it is a prefrence thing thats forsure, although bovs tend to have larger inlet and outlet so at higher boost levels it can release more pressure instead of gettin some surge, the largest bpv ive seen is the boostsciences at 1" in and out (also what i have) most bovs are 1.25. as for...

jack up the corner and try to move the tire around (not spin it lol) and if its got give its a wheel bearing

looks like that clear coat got mangled, prob start from rock chips and the like and raised the clear coat up or somethin. can you sand a cf hood? maybe wetsand and buff it too hell?

turning the wheel at idle? not good for the car but engages the power steering pump i believe and causes a drop in idle because of the electrical load i believe, as for grinding noise...could be a wheel bearing, had to replace both of those in the front of my car, grinding humming kinda noise

yea lol, thats not stock. mine is too tho, its a stronger vacuum source and allows quicker response on the bpv, actually in my case have the boostsciences bpv and it wasnt opening at all on the stock vacuum source.

mm.. should be a 90 degree bend off the intake manifold (nipple in the middle i believe) then to a "T" where it seperates one to WGA and one to BPV, there shouldnt be much more for those vacuum lines. but im sure theres a whole lot more vacuum going on in there and not sure if you wanted just...

just a quick question about these (know 2 are sold) but these better than stock or just a stock replacement, my endlinks are shot front and back and my car sounds like a popcorn machine over bumps and im debating stock or awrs...also free bump for you
