The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Ya I suspect a bad seal. I'm probably going to look into replacing all 4 coil packs and spark plugs in the near future. The coil packs have 109k miles and the plugs have 38k miles. I believe the maintenance schedule says to replace the plugs every 60k or 75k miles. I figure I might as well replace them in case the water issue did anything to the plug.

I was always told by the local cats to change plugs every 15-20k miles on these cars.
 
I'm already changing mine again (when I go to the big intake)... plugs are cheap. I try and do them atleast every third service (oil change and filter cleaning as well as overall vehicle inspection and tire rotate).

Wow I'll have to change them more often to be safe. The stock spark plugs lasted until 70k miles LOL. What plugs are you running? I'm currently running Denso Iridium ITV22 Spark Plugs.

I haven't found anything like this yet, but it would be sweet if there was a service schedule that showed how often you should actually replace stuff (as opposed to when Mazda tells you to). It would be like a collaboration of the Mazda community recommended stuff. It would also be cool if they listed a ton of additional parts too (stuff not listed in Mazda's schedule).

I blame it on the Hebrew calendar my mum gave me... yeah. That's it... (fixed my original post)

edit- to make up for my mistake I'll post this video.

I was looking for an Incubus video for the "Ohioans, what are you listening to?" thread and Youtube recommended this video for me. Thank you, Youtube. Thank you.

I'm going to try to make it out to the event on the 15th over by you guys, but I have to see how much money I can make this weekend and how much more stuff I can get done on the car. I need to get an alignment, install my AWR mount, and thermal spacers, but that should only take a few hours. I need to get a hold of Will to for magnets :) Need to test the car without a de-powered rack before the next airport event.
