A few days ago I noticed a very high pitched noise coming from the front right wheel well. I assumed that I needed new brakes (58k). However, this high pitched noise occurs also when I am not braking and actually accelerating. I then thought that it could be the suspension. Then I thought...

and a wheel alignment done at the local firestone. I didnt notice anything driving it home but I did when I just drove it now. At the stop light, I noticed that my exhaust sounded much more aggressive. However I assumed this was the cars around me so I let it go. It then happened again and I...

I have always had this problem with my 2003 protege. I dont currently live up north anymore but was curious if anyone has these problems. When it got cold out and my car was sitting outside, it would not start. When it didnt start, it wasnt that cold, no other cars had these issues. I was...

I have a 2003 protege ES with the dunlop performance tires that came with the car. My tires make an incredibly loud high pitched sound at all times. It gets so bad, I get headaches. I have had it checked out by three different places, and they all said that everything was normal and its the...

I was driving and I went past a cosmic blue MS3 in the parking lot next to the bestbuy off of blanding. It appeared that they were working on the car next to the speed3 because the hood was up. Who was that? Thanks

I have a stock 2003 mazda protege ES with the potenza and whenever I am going 40+mph my tires (im assuming) emit a very annoying high pitched noise. The noise is also extremely loud, and will start to hurt my ears. I usually dont notice it because I am listening to music but I just wanted to...

I have heard how dealers are really marking down the MS6's to very low prices. I was just wondering if these low prices are only applied to those that the dealers currently have in stock or whether you can get a low price for one being transferred from another dealer or from an order...

I just saw this new review of the MS3: http://reviews.cnet.com/2007_Mazda_Mazdaspeed_Mazda3/4505-10866_7-32125008.html?tag=feed&part=rss&subj=video?tag=vid&autoplay=true#mgallery I thought the 0-60 times were really funny- they either dont know how to drive a stick or the MS3 is not as fast as...

The new wrx: No joke, taken from the may issue of motortrend. Not only have they managed to copy the MS3, they made it much worse then the MS3. This could mean the end of Subaru's tuner appeal.

Does the MS6 AWD system allow the driver to configure the amount of power to the back wheels? Or does it do it automatically? I would rather have the option of being able to decide if I want 100/0, 95/5, 50/50. Thanks

MS3 vs. Legacy GT I was just wondering which one you guys would get. The sport model for the MS6 is about a grand less than the Legacy gt. I realized that it wasnt a fare comparison so I changed it to Legacy gt. If you want to vote for Legacy GT choose WRX. I orginally wanted to get the...

Have you guys ever had the problem in which there wasnt a car that you were completely satisfied with? Basically, I prefer a manaul AWD import car/truck. I really like the MS3 but thats fwd which isnt bad but I also dont like the wagon as much as a sedan. However, I love the fact that the MS3...

After looking at all the pics posted here it seems either there are no silver owners here or they havent posted any pics. Thanks

GTI vs. MS3 Ok so heres the deal: My budget is around 23 grand and these two are at the top of the list. I dont like the si and I think the wrx will cost too much. GTI advantages- I think the overall quality is higher, I like the gauges, pedals, and the general interior better than the MS3...

I was surprised after looking at mazda dealers inventory. I would say about 2/3's of the dealers near me have at least one MS3. However, I wont be in the market for one for a few months so these will obviously not be around then. Is their a schedule for the next shipment of MS3's? Thanks

I was just wondering if you guys would get the grand touring model for the MS3? I would just get it because of the speaker upgrade. Also, if you preorder your MS3 is there any hope of haggling the price? Thanks

I love the MS3 in every way except the fact that its four door hatchback. Having a sedan option would be so much better. I feel like I would be driving my moms old camry station wagon. However, the power and interior styling are very nice. Any thoughts?

I have a 2003 mazda protege ES and was wondering if anyone has replaced their pulleys for lightweight ones. If so, which pulleys should I replace and which ones should I leave alone? Thanks

I was wondering if it was worth putting a performance intake filter and adapter onto my stock filter. I dont know if its worth doing this or buying the entire intake with tubing. I like the adapter idea becasue I dont have to worry about the wiring hookups on the intake, all im doing is...

I just keep hearing about DaveB gauge rings and cant find any to buy. I had heard that he stopped making them. Any ideas of where to buy?
