    Tpms

    I have a separate set of wheels for winter driving and I don't have tpms in those wheels. The only side effect of not having the tpms in the rims is a light will show up on your dash. Also if you are switching the tpms from one set of rims to another you will need a new seal kit for each tpms so...

    Which Wheels?

    I think the miata rims look really nice, but I think they would be even better in black. Maybe consider powder coating them black? I have the same color car and was considering getting my stock wheels painted matte black.

    Takeda SRI

    If you want a Short Ram Intake wait a week or so and go with the new Short Ram Intake that Corksport is releasing at the end of the month. I have been following its development and corksport seems to have this thing nailed.

    It NEVER FREAKIN FAILS TO AMAZE ME

    Looking good, it is amazing what they can do. When I saw the pics of the car with the hatch cut off I wondered how they could even get it re-attached and straight. Well it looks good and hope you do not have any new problems.

    Rattle from Rear when going over small bumps

    Yeah, that is the plastic sleeve. Hmm, on my old honda civic that had rear drum brakes, I had a problem with the brakes that made it sound like I was dragging chains behind me. The problem was little pieces of metal from the drum falling off and getting between the drum and the pad. But your...

    Rattle from Rear when going over small bumps

    Please post a picture of what you think is loose, if I am understanding what you are talking about, it is the sleeve that goes on the rear shock. That will most likely be loose as it just fits on over the shock. But you should check the shock mount itself. If you take off one of your rear wheels...

    Rattle from Rear when going over small bumps

    The endlinks appear fine, the big thing to check if you want to would be to make sure that the socket, the round part doesn't move around on the stud that goes into the swaybar. I had mine broken on my car more than once and you can't see them being broken, you have to actually push on them to...

    Rattle from Rear when going over small bumps

    Well take a look for yourself, the endlinks are the knobby things that stick out down below the sway bar when looking under the rear of the car. The socket could be broken causing the stud to move around in the socket which sounds kinda like what you are saying. They are a really cheap and easy...

    Mazda 3 GT Auto Tranny Crapping out

    I dunno what to tell you, glad to hear that you got yours fixed under warranty. My original transmission had problems, I think the one I have now is way better, but I don't think it is perfect. I also think something is messed up with my traction control and that may play a part in it. It drives...

    Mazda 3 GT Auto Tranny Crapping out

    I also have an 07 hatch that has had the automatic transmission replaced. I had about 15,000 miles on my car and it never seemed to shift decent. I took it to the dealer three times before they changed my transmission. I am now at 40,000 miles and it shifts ok, but not nearly as good as it...

    want to get 18" rims and lower car, need help

    Pickarze: I really need to do the springs, I just wanted to make sure that after they were installed they were good. I plan on installing them myself once I can afford them. The front endlinks from racingbeat are a must if you are getting the racingbeat sways, the rear endlinks I have now are...

    It NEVER FREAKIN FAILS TO AMAZE ME

    Sorry to hear, I had a similar experience when I got my car, I had just over 800 miles on her when she got rear ended by a box truck, I was lucky enough to only have the bumper damaged and no metal damage. Glad nobody was hurt Josh

    want to get 18" rims and lower car, need help

    Pickarze in regards to the racing beat swaybars, I did break two endlinks because of them, but they were the best investment I have put into my car so far. The endlinks I had were MS3 OEM style links made by a third party manufacturer (crappy quality) I purchased a pair of authentic MS3 rear...

    Traction Control/DSC Questions

    After doing some research on the forums I found out about turning off the traction control/DSC by pushing the dsc button when the car is started. I have run into three different scenarios. Start the car normally and push the DSC button after the car is started, from what I gather this turns off...
