    2007 M3 Engine meltdown!!...

    Well if you do your own oil changes then you must keep all receipts, and log each time in a log book with the VIN number and millage next to it. You have to keep really good records or they will void out any coverage. This is a somewhat new policy and they are getting strict about it. I have...

    So what’s involved in changing a Mazda3 into a MazdaSpeed3? What do I need? -New computer? -New wiring harness? -New exhaust? What would it take? And is it worth it. Is the 5 speed different…? And how the hell to you Heal-Toe these cars… man its impossible on the track.

    2007 M3 Engine meltdown!!...

    Well I do keep the receipts and have all the other records as I have always taking it to the dealership for the tune ups. But we went out of town and had it done on the way out.

    Yeah no oil under the car no leaks no oil loss at all. To me the engine sounds like a Valve train issue rather than the piston as the master mechanic says. Usually in a V8 if you dropped a rod or broke a piston then the engine would not turnover or would lock up. Lots of bad things happen...

    Hey thanks for those links Is it difficult to get things like gasket kits and rebuild kits for a 2.3 engine? Honestly I never really got into 4 cylinders much so not sure how hard it is to rebuild a new model engine like this. If I have to spend $7K+ on a new engine then its going to have more...
