    Painting/Replacing side mirrors

    Is there any way to remove the painted part of the side mirror and put it on a replacement mirror? I just broke my passenger side mirror last night and I'm looking for a replacement, but I would rather not have to go through the hassle of painting it if I can just take the plastic from the...

    Engine clicking

    Mine also sounds nothing like Yelo's. It's not near that loud, and it's more of a pronounced tick, like you can hear each revolution of the engine.

    Engine clicking

    Mine Seems to be similar to Moonman's, although I haven't heard it in a few days now. The noise is confined to the 2.7-3k range, once you go above that, it goes away. I'm thinking if it was a rod bearing, the noise would happen at almost any RPM. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Engine clicking

    I'll check on it tonight when I get home from work, but it seems to sound more like a ticking, not necessarily metallic, just kind of a flat tick.

    Engine clicking

    It's not a real loud noise, and I haven't noticed any difference in performance yet...If I take it to a dealer, do you guys know about how much it is going to cost me if they don't find anything?

    Engine clicking

    I don't think this is related to the recall, and Mazda's website does not say my car is affected by the recall, but when I rev the engine to about 3k RPM and hold it there, it has a slight clicking noise. I can only hear it when I have my windows down and I'm next to a wall (something for the...

    Noise coming from Drivers Side Front!

    I tried greasing what I thought are the bushings, and the sound went away for a couple weeks, but it is back now. I found it kind of odd, that the "bushings" are just rubber pieces that the sway bar goes through. Does anyone know of an aftermarket solution that is better than this?

    Noise coming from Drivers Side Front!

    I just started noticing this a couple of weeks ago when it started getting cold outside. I live in an apartment complex, and in the mornings, when I go over the speed bumps, I hear this horrible (I would describe it as a scraping) sound from the front drivers side suspension. This only happens...

    Columbus OH Mazdas

    Hey guys, I'm new to the Columbus area, and was wondering if we could organize a meet in Columbus. I live on the north side, in the Polaris mall area. I could also use the name of a good shop in the area (need a new front bumper cover), so if anyone could help me out, that would be great. Thanks

    Roof rack question

    It took me and my dad like 2 hours to get mine off, just make sure you buy the filler pieces and fill the holes in your roof. I filled mine with silicone.
