I honestly can't remember where I got the rotors. I'm thinking partsgeek.com, I just bought them where I found them cheapest. I know Mazda offers a "decarb" service, which is basically cleaning the valves. As far as dilution, I know I can smell gasoline in my oil, but I'm not sure how much it's...

I figured I would update this. I'm now at 65k and the Centric rotors and Wagner pads feel like they did new. I think Mazda either cheaped out on the factory rotors, or used too soft of a pad which deposited pad material on the rotors unevenly and caused the "warped" feeling. No problems now!

I don't have a picture of the odometer, but my 14' 2.5 manual sport 6 has 65k. I bought it new in April 13' with around 400 miles on it. Castrol Edge Syntec 0w-20 with a Bosch 3300 filter every 5k. Factory Yokohoma's gone at 27k. Pirelli P7 Cinturato on wear bars at 57k. I'll be trying...

What kind of pressure are you running? Mine have plenty left on the edges but are to the wear bars in the middle. This indicates too much pressure, yet I'm running 1psi less than the door sticker suggests. I do drive on a very curvy 30 mile road twice a day to and from work. That may be the cause.

Well, the Pirelli P7's are on the wear bars here at 30,000 miles. I run 35psi at all 4 corners and rotate every 5k miles. They are rated for 70,000 so I am more than disappointed. Looks like I'll be trying some Michelin Premiers.

I can't argue with the dealer, but my car sits in an unshaded parking lot 12 hours a day 4 days a week from 10*F to 105*F and I have been using the 303 with no noticeable degradation since April 2013.

Update here, I just put a set of Centric premium rotors (120.45084) on front, with some Wagner Thermoquiet (QC1711) Ceramic pads. Everything feels great here at 52k, I will update with any issues as they wear.

You guys are going about it wrong and risk damaging the nylon nut using a wrench on it. See the "teeth" around the nut that look like a gear? Now look directly above the gear and there is a hole in your radiator support on the pass. and drivers side. Insert a 6" long #2 Phillips screwdriver into...

I don't have navigation, but the drivers window is the only one that lights up. Seems like a bad place to cut costs to me.

I put Wearever Golds from Advance Auto on my 6 after I had the factory warped rotors machined, and I've put around 10k on the car since then. Seems like the rotors like the new pads much better, as the initial bite feels better than factory and there are no vibrations at all.

I'm at 40k on my 2014 and have noticed no performance decrease. The dealer probably wants your $$$.

You need a 6" or longer phillips screwdriver. Look at the back of each headlight and you'll see the adjustment. It looks like a metal gear with a plastic rail on each side of it. The screwdriver goes through a hole on the radiator support behind the headlights. I think you turn left for up and...

How do you like the P7's? I'm at 7k on mine and they seem great still. No visible wear, and great wet and dry traction.

It doesn't. Seems like a cheap out to not at least light the unlock and pass. window button, one of the first things I noticed.

32,400 miles. Purchased in April '13 with 300 miles on the odometer. (eek2) Already put a set of tires on it, bought 70k tires this time. Car still looks and feels new. I am completely happy with my purchase minus road noise, and I wished it was a wagon.

I went 35% because of NC laws, but I wish I would have risked the ticket and done 20%. The blue car looks great!

Mine is a bit touchy with the stock intake. If I hop into the car after working nightshift and don't let it warm up about 30 seconds, when I ease out the clutch it takes off fast!

Just had mine machined at 30k miles as well. Seems like all rotors are pot-metal from China now. Mine didn't even have a minimum thickness stamped on them.

Well, I've got over 600 miles on the P7's and I have to say I'm dissapointed. Not in the tire itself, It seems to handle just as good as the Yokos, and wet traction is leaps and bounds better. I hit a puddle that I would have slid across with the Advans and I never felt it with the Pirelli. What...

Well, with 26k on my 14' 6 Sport, the 225/55/17 Yokohoma Advan A83's are due for a replacement. These tires are $203 a piece on Tire Rack and I just don't feel like they were worth $800 over their lifespan. I have no complaints about dry traction, but wet traction got a bit worse over the last...
