Hey all. I used to post here a ton, but lately not so much. I currently still have my 2001 Mazda MP3. I'm looking at getting a new (used) car and until recently had the mindset "never a Mazda again". But lately I've been liking the Mazdaspeed 3, and the prices on 2007/2008 models. In short, the...

This is ridiculous. A few weeks back I took my glovebox out needing to get at some wiring. Never having done this before, I thought you needed to remove the 10 screws which actually hold in the "passenger side lower panel". Anyhow, I cannot get this ******* panel back in. I have no idea how the...

That's crazy. I never hear of actual vehicle theft down here. Usually just smash and grabs. Perhaps Bonnevilles are easy to steal. I've only had my stereo stolen once... in Greenfield ;). Regardless, I love living down here... especially in the summer. Walking everywhere with these gas prices FTW!

By the way, Milwaukeeans - Not sure where you are located (I am from Greenfield, actually ecniemann). But I live very close to Brady St. on the east side and the Jimmy John's delivery driver there uses a debadged blue MP3!

Hah, thanks for the reply all. Reset worked! I was just getting over my anger too and into excitement for a 9886. Oh well.

Was listening to a CD last night then switched to AM for the Brewer game. This morning I switched back to CD to get no audio. It said "Track 28 -1:38". So I was going to eject it and put it back in. However, the face flips down and nothing comes out. No noise or anything. Is there anything I...

Well, I did this procedure over the weekend and my car runs beautifully again. I actually didn't have too much trouble getting the thing out. I removed the battery and strut bar and had plenty of room to work with. The screws sat in PB blast for a half hour and I had to use pliers to get them...

Is there really a 7-year warranty on this piece? I bought my MP3 on July 25th, 2001 it has 91,000 miles. I had it into the dealer yesterday and after a oil change and coolant flush, mentioned the eratic idle/stalling. They charged something like $100 for a diagnostic (check code, pull intake...

I have a 2001 MP3, but thought I'd join in this extensive rust thread. My 2 front doors have rust at the bottom, driver side rear fender lip has rust, black window pillar has rust as well. Really irritating since I took such good care of the car. I'm debating getting some paint/primer from...

I've had the kit for about 1.5 years now. I've still had to replace bushings a couple of times due to the clunk. I tried 19mm diameter Energy Suspension bushings (9.5156) this past weekend though so we'll see how that goes. Silent for now! But for me, this hasn't been the end-all solution.

Most driver issues have been sorted out, as manufacturers have produced drivers. Drivers for the 64-bit version are still pretty iffy. I've been running it without issue for months. My only gripe was file copying slowness which has been fixed through hotfixes. These aren't typically installed...

Ok, maybe I'll try pumping the pedal a few times with the bleeder screw closed all the way, then loosening it up. Thanks!

Hi all, Looks like my front driver's side caliper is seized. I'll be putting a new one on sometime this week along with a pad change on both sides. Anyhow, I ordered some SB7100-SS stainless speed bleeders to do the job. A question on bleeding: Last year, I had to do the front passenger caliper...

Anyone know offhand if they are different? I would assume so being that the MSP is 1-1.5" lower than the MP3. Are the part numbers different? Thanks... With a lowered MP3 on stock endlinks, I'm looking to get some properly sized endlinks on there. I'm lowered with SPOOL springs, which probably...

Interesting. Does your roommate's system use a catch can then? Or are we talking something *completely* different? How often are we talking about draining here?

Is that pretty typical? More crankcase ventilation due to increase cylinder pressures? ie you need to be more careful checking oil with a turbo?

What kits are out there these days? The only new kit I can find is HiBoost, and I'd probably just do the full setup with the Haltech and run somewhere between 6-8psi.

Yeah, I've been pretty nice to her. Just an intake and header. And aside from redlining her several dozen times, it runs fine, doesn't burn oil or anything.

...its pointless to even consider turbocharging a motor? I'm just about to turn 78,000. I've been pretty good on maintenance (oil changes, plugs/wires/filters) etc, but is there a point where it would be pretty much a given that turbocharging would destroy a non-turbo'd engine? I ask, because...
