There's no sound deadening inside of the doors skins. You may want to add some Dynamat type stuff.

I used to like Rexing, but they've gone downhill on my opinion. I now use Viofos because they use Sony Starvis 2 sensors. That's the very best sensor that you can get right now.

If you're wanting to run some wiring from inside of the car to the engine bay, there is a perfect spot between the main wiring harness and the brake pedal lever and behind the battery. It's a bump out on the firewall that's shaped like a dog bone. There's absolutely nothing on either side to...

WIthout some major surgery, they 6x9's simply won't go where 6x8's were. It may sound like it's only a minor difference in size, but that's not true at all. It's a substantial difference. What I did was fit some Dayton Audio RS180 7's in the doors via some custom Sound Mechanix PVC adapter...

Oh it makes sense all right. They're trash, and they don't last

My Defenders last like 70,000 miles.

My brakes have never squealed in 125,000 miles, so no idea why yours are. I've always used OEM pads and rotors. I do turn my rotors as that's perfectly acceptable to do as per the Mazda service manual. And it's way cheaper than buying new ones! For the squeaks, I had them pretty bad on my...

I thought the DOHC's were all 1.8's, and the single cams were 1.6's. At least that's how my 323 SE (1.6) and Protege LX (dohc 1.8) were. Learn something new every day! And this is a SICK build!

Michelin Defenders from Sams/Costco/BJs/insert warehouse store here. There's Michelin, and there's everything else.

Depends on how you drive. If it's all stop and go inner city driving, brakes and brake fluid can take a beating. And if it's a weekend track car like a Miata that you hammer on every Saturday at Road Atlanta or something, brakes will only last that weekend! I change the brake fluid on my two...

Change your air filters people! It's beyond easy, and you don't need any tools, not even a screwdriver. Engine air filter is under the hood, pop two clips and there it is! Cabin filter is behind the glove box. Squeeze both sides so the stops release and lower it all the way down. There's a white...

Let me guess, you have a Fortin remote start. If so GET THAT POS OUT OF THERE. They are horrible.

So far it's just the rear speakers, and yes they sound far better than factory. I used Crutchfield's install instructions, it couldn't be easier. It's pretty much a straight bolt-in affair. The only "scary" part is having to cut the inner door panel speaker ring out. But a razor knife made...

OUTSTANDING. Very helpful post!

If you've ever wondered why our stereos sound like crap, here's your explanation.
