I think you know that nobody would use a KB shifter BEFORE they use an ebay one, maybe the other way around though. I've never said that it is the same exact thing. I ASSUME that the KB will have tighter tolerances, OEM fit and finish and a perfect plug and play install and feel. That's what I...

I actually think that Mazda has some of the better/best looking wheels in their class. Of course BMW wheels have always been really tasteful and some of Volvo's wheels are looking good now too. But Mazda's done good job on its 5 spake and fat five spoke versions.

ha ha, so are you saying only "non-smart" people are allowed to post? I may mount up a set of racing harts I have in the garage onto my Mz3. I like they way they look too and think the Mz3 fat five spoke would look even better on my P5.

grind off lip, it'll click in just like stocker and then insert snap ring to keep it all in there.

the lip was too largeon mine. It was the same size as the diameter of the tube it goes down into. The o-rings are still there to keep water out as is the rubber boot at the bottom. Just be sure to double check that the boot is installed correctly so that it mates up and keeps water out. I'll...

if it was in the air then yeah, you can probably move a shorter aftermarket spring easily. I didn't need spring compressors to reassemble my eibach spring/struts because the spring is shorter. If you have oil leakage from the strut and a crappy ride then yeah, the stockers in the front are...

you probably got the same one I did. If you look on the housing with the o-rings you'll see a small lip that protrudes. This keeps the bushing housing from sliding all the way down. You need to take a dremel and grind of that ridge. Once you do that you can drop it down further and use the snap...

Good work on doing something you want. I think the covers look better than some other covers, the headrest is the only real eyesore though. Try to redo those and pull the fabric super tight over them and roll/tuck the extra fabric under the headrest the way the stocker is done. I believe you...

after a long trip with two adults and two kids at 75-80 mph average all highway, I got 30mpg. No roofrack and K&N filter, MP3 muffler for what it's worth. 205/40?/17 on 17x7 Not the best I could have gotten, and the tires are a tad smaller than stock so the speedo's off a little. Could have...

M3 have different bolt patterns and offsets. Mazda wheels don't fit on BMWs Now if you are talking about an Mz3 then yes, it'll fit. You do not drive an M3.

My analysis: 1. struts are popped, replace them, they'll certainly make noise. 2. Mask off better the next time you paint your calipers, that paint got on everything! 3. Rotors need to be turned or better yet replaced. Looks like a nice lip developing on the outside. 4. Make sure you torque your...

Not as crazy as in Texas though. couldn't resist :D

I doubt you'll see any gains at all. The a/c pulley is a clutch pulley so its way more complex than just bolting up. Not worth it IMO.

worth a shot! PM me if you are interested in working something out.

nautical, I'll trade you straight up for the Eibachs

Hey, thanks Viral. MSP is better than MP3, buy mine! ;) :D

215/45 is too large, that's why you are rubbing. The MP3, because it is already slightly lowered seems to have less room back there. As for the springs being bad, anything is possible but are you sure it's not just an illusion from the wheel well shapes being different? Is the bottom of the...

On a white car, Bronze will look good. If you don't like it just paint it back.

bad alternator will give a poor charge to the battery and not give enough juice to the car. In the absence of power from the alt the battery will supply. The battery will get run down from trying to supply juice to the ignition etc. The car can stall from not having enough ignition power. Swap...
