    Need struts

    I'm sure it's been discussed thoroughly, so maybe someone can redirect me, but which struts does everyone recommend for a mazda 3? nobody that i'm familiar with even makes struts for this car...

    New toy!

    prolly true. i just don't like having to fight so hard to keep the front end down...personnal prefference i guess...i was just wondering because i see 600's everywhere, but very few people have anything bigger.

    New toy!

    so remind me now why it is that everyone wants a 600cc? i've never been interested in anything less than 1000, for stability if nothing else...

    Common problems with the Mazda3

    has anyone else been having trouble with cats? i already had to get one warranteed and now i am getting horrible gas mileage which makes me think the ones after the sensor that won't throw a cel are bad. but now i'm at 36,000 so i don't think it will still be warranteed so i'm just waiting for...

    if you're not going to listen to anyone who knows what they're talking about when they give you advice, then why ask? (fu)

    Wheels and Springs.. Episode 2

    225 45 18 is about an inch taller than the ones that came on the car. it will rub like crazy, and might break some of the clips that hold the bumper on depending on how bad they rub...being a rwd the wheels off the 8 are a different offset and will only add to the problem

    0-60 and 1/4 mile times??

    woah...s***...that sucks. (jerkit) do you really think i bought a protege hoping it would be fast??????? i just like it because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't accelerate.

    Rubbing with Sportlines???

    you could try rollin your fenders. if the offset doesn't suck too bad that might take care of it.

    Wheel size opinions.

    damn freaking straight. 15's are not going to handle as well and these cars with a 17 still have enought rubber to keep good ride quality. it will be very noticeable if you go much bigger than a 17. and again i'll ask what good it is to go fast on a tire that will explode under the extra...

    New Bump stops when lowering?

    if you leave the stock bump stops on, when you lower it that much it will probably sit on the bump stops constantly and that would make it ride like hell, but if you do leave the stockers on you should cut them in half. but as far as softer ones go i've never heard of anyone using them so i...

    new tires

    205 60 16 is too big for this car. what you need is a 205 45 16. that is roughly the same size as the original tires for the vehicle. it will be a bit wider but the same height. changing the height of the tire will affect your cars performance and engine life, as it has to work harder to...

    So the 2.0 dx and its lack of a tach

    you're probably best off putting in an aftermarket tach if you don't want to go to the dealership.

    how much are you paying for gas?

    It's obviously not going into the pocket of educators either. Wouldn't it be nice if people who aren't smart enough to use a dictionary didn't try to make wise ass comments about politics, and furthermore choose the country's political leaders?
