    We're all beginners at some point...

    I've done almost all my mods with the help of friends. Or I just take it to a good friend of mine who is also a mechanic. My advice is to start small and build your way up to the bigger mods. That is what I am doing.

    Weird P5 Question?

    Thanks. I know that was a dumb question but I've never tried to figure out how to make it jizz. You'd think I would have in the almost 3 years that I have owned it. (hand)

    Weird P5 Question?

    Ok, I've got a stupider question. How do you make the rear windshield washer work? I guess it would help if I had ever looked in manual.

    Coolant?

    If your coolant is low you can put water in. I did a coolant flush for my 30k tuneup and bought coolant from Mazda. You just mix it as the bottle says. My meachanic suggested I use OEM coolant because with newer cars there can be probs with using different coolant. I don't know if this is a prob...

    Badging, air intake ?'s

    If you get an eBay SRI you will most likely have to cut the pipe maybe a 1/4 of an inch. EBay intakes tend the rub on the master cylinder. Other than that there is no prob with an offbrand intake. All you really pay for is the name. My eBay intake has a round filter not the cone. It is similar...

    driver wheel shakes alot fix?

    I had the same problem the only way I got it to go away was, I went back to Mazda and they force balanced my tires. This balance is done at higher speeds with the tires on so it is more accurate. Other shops can do it also. You just have to check around. At Mazda it cost me $80.

    Sooooo.... I went to Wal-Mart......

    We still can't have the bottle rockets or any of the fun ones. But at least its a start. And I agree we can't tint our windows dark but we can handle explosives. Seems a little backward to me. LOL

I am changing my brake pads this weekend. I was just wondering if anyone had any idea what might be causing this vibration and...
