No. The signal from the wheel speed sensors I don't think is a true AC signal. As each tone wheel passes it changes resistance, it doesn't specify that it actually generates voltage like an AC signal would. Mazdas descriptions are pretty broad. This raw signal goes to the ABS module. The ABS...

Flatlander937 Tony Mester 2011 Mazda2 Homemade suspension: the front is fabricated from scratch strut housings with Koni 8610-1437 road race cartridges, coilover sleeves, homemade spherical top hats with NHBB 5/8in bearings. The rear has some height adjusters meant for a Yaris...

They last a darn long time. I'm coming up on 60k and still original shoes, last time measured still like 3/32 at the thinnest part. IIRC they start at 4-5 or so. Pull the drum and inspect them.

The cluster gets speed signal from the ABS module via the CAN bus, which gets signal from the ABS sensors. If it must be speed related it will be tough being able to make it work without upsetting other modules or frying something. This is why I recommended using RPMs from a coil to go into a...

More info: So it looks like the WSS signals would be a pain in the ass to tap into and make work, and the lock switch works like I expected. You need normal power to unlock, and 1000ohm resistor inline to simulate a "lock" command.

Low refrigerant will cause it to cycle constantly/intermittently. You really need to watch high and low sides before making that assumption. Could be a restriction causing high side to shoot up quickly. Is the cooling fan working? And/or does A/C work while cruising highway speeds or does it...

2nd after shifting initially.

Geez, totally forgot to update the build thread here: I autocrossed it a few weeks ago... Loved it. Paxed 10/46 and raw timed 23/46. I was driving what should have been the slowest car there(by PAX, no HS or other STF present). I need to add a front sway bar I reckon to test that out, but...

X2 on plugs, mine were throwing random misfires at 49k and they looked perfectly fine. On the A/C issue you need to start with backprobing the compressor clutch wire, make sure its getting commanded on. If it is(and not engaged) compressor is bad. If its not getting a signal look at pressure...

One alternative I'd consider is a frequency to voltage converter to use engine RPM(via an ignition coil) to lock the doors. Set it to like 3k rpms, and wire it so once it locks one time, it disables itself. You'd need some kind of delayed relay or something. FWIW the ABS runs a self test for...

Printed them out, I'll scan them in or take pics of the prints later tonight or tomorrow. The speedo is all on the CAN bus, signals come from the wheel speed sensors to the BCM, you'd need to make a circuit that converts the AC voltage into something useful to be interpreted, then send a...

Which one(s)? I can get them from work.

I'd guess strut mount bearings popping, especially if it was sitting completely still.

I'll give it a shot when I swap suspension back again in a week or two. I don't see how it would do anything for the harshness that is worst when hitting a bump with both wheels at the same time though. I have zero problems with hitting odd potholes with one side or the other. I definitely need...

If you ever want to check my setup out in person you're welcome to. I think softer rear springs will be the icing on the cake to make it bearable for my VB-Newport News daily commute.

Congrats!

I run 9.8k front and 8k rear(550/450), the front is fine, the rear is what beats you to do. I'm probably going to try putting 300-350lb springs in the rear for commuting. I drive 100mi/day. I'll add that tires make a huge difference in ride comfort for daily driving. I am burning up my winter...

Nice! I love RPF1s.
