lol noo it wasnt!!! I PAID my mechanic to do the job. I NEVER touched the brakes on the car, I don't even have the tools to take off the wheel, nevermind the brake parts haha next time I'm gonna go with oem s*** and thats it, no more fun. Dealer apparently sells the guide pins for $75...

Alright let me vent! I changed my brakes ( brembo ventilated rotors and Hawk HPS pads on all fours ) for my 2003 Protege5 about 3 months ago. Now I've been noticing squeaking/grinding, so I took it in Monday. Only to find that the front calipers were about to seize and that they needed to...

Try resetting the amp, either by removing the negative battery cable, or perhaps there is a switch on this amp model? im not sure. either that or you ****** it up good. nah im sure its nothing, protection mode is a good thing, could be just shorted, needs to be reset. good luck ;)

do a google search for twm.. lol i paid 230$ USD

well i dont have my camera with me, but I can tell you its not the half moon which the member before stated. its the outer diameter of the rotor is getting swept clean, and the inner one is staying dirty, therefore the pad is not touching the inside....

yeah i meant brembo rotors... how could the pads be too small for the rotor? i got oem sizes

Hi. I just installed 4 Brembo brakes along with Hawk HPS street pads, and WHYYYY is there rust on half the disc, as if the pad is not sweeping accros the entire disc, just half?? will the pad eventually wear down and touch the pad fully to clean it off?? any ideas?

Alright took it to my trusted mechanic, apparently the bolt to drain wasnt tight enough, so he turned it a quarter turn an he said should be fine. There wasnt any oil on the floor though this morning, weird, anyways im glad thats done. (first)

yeah i'll be looking under the car tomorrow morning. if there's nothing there then what you suggested is right with the valve for the excess oil to flow out most probably its that. i cant imagine that the bolt isnt on tight enough its impossible. thanks for the help i'll let you know the story...

yeah maybe not huh? unless the entire thing wasnt drained out completely to start off with... plus the three bottles... damn im just hoping i dont wake up tomorrow and see another pool on my street under the tranny. enough fell out though, like a 10 cm in diameter oil leak :S

ohh really??? because i did put the entire 3 bottles ( a quart each) that was too much for our transmission right?? you're serious though, theres a valve that lets excess oil out?? wow i feel relieved if thats what the problem was. and where is it located this valve?

well i left my car on the driveway for 2 days straight without moving it, and apparently theres an oil leak... what are the chances that its my tranny oil dripping... since i just changed it, the bolts were tightened how could this be???? damn im mad

i got some lying around ,i wont take anything less than $400 CAD for them though ,they are MINT

i love it ,i already got used to it. no more harsh shifts. hope the twm bearing lasts long though, it looks like its exposed to dirt/moisture/salt.

No kartboy, but the TWM bushings are in there... much stiffer shifting

got the tranny fluid in... works quite well. im still adjusting to the TWM short shift as I installed it while I changed fluids. Feels good though. thanks

got it installed!!! holy s*** the shifts are short. And the bushings are soo stiff. feels like i have to rip the thing off just to shift. Amazing though. only complaint i here this creaking sound under the shifter/??? any ideas? not all the time, only when shifting sometimes, or gas on/off

driven a 2001 porsche boxer, was trying to get it to its top speed but theres no space. lol i almost totalled it actually, apparently my mazda handles the s curves better, or im just not used to planting the gas down and actually going... lol soooo close to wiping out.

Alright so I purchased 2 quarts of Pennzoil Synchromesh (apparently only designed for some manual dodges and chryslers) and I am to mix this with Lucas Heavy-Duty Oil Stabilizer. Makes sense? Well I called pennzoil to make sure this Synchromesh stuff goes in our transmissions, and the guy said...

I just received it. Took less than a day to ship! incredible. The shifter looks really high quality, good craftsmanship as well as all mounting screws/bolts. Hope she installs easily.
