Nope, keeping it BONE stock. Really don't like modifying cars too much, especially ones that are great from the factory!!! :rolleyes: No, maybe a spin oil filter mod is needed, I'm sick of the paper filter thinger.

Yeah, the wheels are from tire rack for the winter tires. Its not a speed3, just a normal 3 in pearl white, and yes, its a manual.

With just replacing the front Motor Mount, do you think it would add a lot more vibrations. That is what I'm concerned about, the vibrrrrrrrraaaaaaatttttiiiiiionnnnnns .

Well, I bought the complete set with transmission mount. I figured what I didn't want to install I could sell.

Ahh, that might be it. Some people complain about the 70 durometer mounts are too stiff. I'm going to be upgrading soon and I'am kinda worried myself about the vibrations of 70 durometer AWRs.

I guess you will have to ride on the spare wheel for a while. It's hard contacting junk yards on a Sunday Morning.

You could buy a cheap steel wheel for now and find a P5 one later. Or go for broke and buy a whole new set from Tire Rack.. Sorry no help there

What the durometer of the mounts did you buy?

Synthetic. Mobil One. Both engine and transmission oil. Period.

Same here. The OEM ones are great, I had one burnt bulb in 6 years. Most of the problems are from the aftermarket ones....

Well, Up here in WI, CAI suck in the winter. (no pun intended). When your driving in deep snow and slush, it gets packed everywhere on the car, including around the CAI filter. So most people I know run a short ram in the winter.

My buddy uses his Nikon D-80 with the the accessories. Then we threw them in Adobe Lightroom to fix'em up The Car is a 07 Mazda 3, grand touring, Bone stock except for the 16" winter wheels.

They are. IN the past 10 yrs, I've drove on 5-6 different sets on winter tires. I've used old Blizzak M1, Ws-50, WS-60, Michelin X-Ice 2, Dunlop Winter sport 3D, and Dunlop DS-1 and 2. Right now I have the new Michelin X-Ice 2's are they are great, better than the others I've used. They're...

Well, normally I spend my time in the P5 area (look at my screen name), but last night I took my old man's car out and a buddy and I took a few photos of it. Figured it would be a nice x-mas present to him. Here they are, what do ya think.

IMHO, I think 175 are a little to thin. With my 195 Michelin x-ice 2's, they can be a little squirmy on dry. I can't image a 175. A 185 would be the thinnest I would go.

Yes, it happens to me too I always use WD-40 and a wire brush to remove rust from the hub every time I change wheels. It reduced the stuck wheels problem.

Hells yes!!! But yeah, I run 195-55-15 inch tires every year for the past 5 yrs. No problems, and the cost isn't that bad. Its what tire rack recommends and no one questions the all Mighty TIRE RACK(first)

The same thing happened to me. A bird must have just wanted to run into my grill. But the replacement.. Easy. All you have to do is jack the front up allitle for extra room. Then just remove a couple screws/clips that hold the thing in. Its about a 20 minute job.

Well, there really is 2 small ones and one big one in the middle. You have to put the tools (both of them) in the big one first, then the little ones.

Pretty easy 1. Take off the 2 plastic doohicky's off each side of the radio 2. Purchase 2 sets of DIY U shaped stereo remover tools. Looks like a U with little circles at the ends. 3. Put into the 4 holes on the side of the radio, pull the tools outward and yank. Should be it.
