    FS MS6 complete engine with turbo and transmission

    My wife is extremely interested in the side mirrors and the lower door moldings (just above the sideskirts, not the one in the middle of the door). She is willing to drive up there to get them ASAP. She will probably pick the car apart when she gets there :) and bring help to remove all the...

    2007 Mazda 3 Clutch clicking noise

    The Mazda6 had a TSB for a squeaky brake pedal...all it was, was a flush and refill. As the fluid deteriorated, the seals became squeaky. With fresh fluid it goes away. Kinda makes me wonder why Mazda put crap in there to begin with...or maybe it's a crappy seal material...I have this issue on...

    How is the Mazda3 stock tires?

    IMHO, Nothing more than easy going daily driver tires. Toyo or Goodyear.

    MS6 coil-over suspensions?

    i can't answer your exact question, but i can give you some related info. Previous Mazda's that came in both FWD and AWD (i.e. 323/Protege) could use the same struts/springs. Now, seeing as the MZ6 and MS6 aren't as sibling as the FWD/AWD 323/Protege's were, this may be moot. IF they do...

    Extreme Dimension GB CF Hood and Trunk

    mmm, i was behind a black BMW M3 yesterday, had both CF hood and trunk...blended pretty well with the black, infact i didn't really even notice till i stopped behind him at a light... That style hood is not for me, i'd prefer a straight OEM replica. But seeing that BMW has got me thinking...

    Springs and Shocks vs. Coilovers?

    hyck: You can get competition parts, Mazdaspeed branded parts AND OEM parts. There are some written restrictions on body parts...but i have bought a hood before... but ya, you'd have to order through the MSM site. This is not the same as a Mazdaspeed approved dealer, same parts, but prices are...

    What have you done to your MS3 today?

    when i first got the car, i had put my change in the little cubby to the left under the dimmer switch (and HID level switch for those who have it) after the first green light...i knew that was a bad idea :) I put it in the ashtray now, it jingles alittle, but doesn't spread itself out around...

    Cosmo SRI

    don't take this as a flame, it's not...but you paid $85 for a peice of metal and a filter... Just thought it was funny how you worded it, cause the Smiota SRI is more than a peice of metal and a filter ;) You shouldn't use ANY oil, it's known to cause MAF malfuctions and failures. Either use...

    Seller Warning!

    I am not only embarrased, but ashamed to say i was his partner in the creation of clubp when it first started. While none of the *paperwork* had my name on it, i did help start the site. I am happy to say, that ANY business dealings *I* have done have ALWAYS been legit, my character and track...

    Springs and Shocks vs. Coilovers?

    hehehe, hey! thats out of context!!!! Ya, summer here is like that too...dosen't make street tires very happy either, But i like racing more than i hate the heat :) They do not need to be SCCA sanctioned, but the results must show your name and car, etc. Even drag slips are eligible, as...

    Springs and Shocks vs. Coilovers?

    Well, if you did just 2 autox events a year, you'd be eligible for enrollment in Mazdaspeed Motorsports and get nice discounts on competition parts and stock parts...it's worth it, i've saved many a dollar this way. I just ordered a set of the TEIN basics for our Mazda6 wagon, $780 shipped...

    Springs and Shocks vs. Coilovers?

    I guess it depends on a few things 1. Budget 2. Your goals for the car 3. Road conditions in your area 4. Ride comfort 1. Obviously this is a big factor with most of us. While in some cases the cost difference isn't that big, true coilovers are always going to be for the bigger budget. If you...

    Confused Mazda 3 newbie: transponder key? Remote? Plz help

    All Mazda3 keys i've seen have the transponder built into them. Does the key have a thick black end with the flyin M logo? I assume you've started the car before with the same key? Was anything electrical disconected while transporting? (besides the battery) I suppose it may be possible for...

    lol...ok sorry to rehash old news... :) but ya, good luck hit me square in the nose with this car. When i helped install a Vibrant, we had those same issues. Had to loosely bolt them up before hanging it on the hangers. For the ARK, To be able to move the tip out further, the hanger welded...
