Had the same problem. Even checked in Montreal, no luck. Was talking to my buddy in Tucson and he checked Autozone and they had them. Got him to order them and ship them to me.

[whitemp5seattle]

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

i drove it like i stole it!

 

[whitemp5seattle]

ah I see...I'm only at 30k, so I guess I'll wait! Is there a brand that everybody's looking for or something? maybe I can check the stores here in T-town

 

[redpr5]

i painted my front calipers red yesterday (looks really good, but i gotta touch up the driver side)
but i managed to unseat the inner pad on the driver side caliper so its makin a grindin sound, gonna fix it tomorrow

 

[Kansei]

Well they're just generic ones from the auto parts store. I guess they last as long as the OEM ones from what people have said. My new plugs and wires will be here tomorrow but still on the old coils

what kind did you get? OEM style? pad brand?

I just ordered a set of Hawk HPS to fix the chilling scraping sound (hopefully). i have a sls mount and some exhaust hangers waiting on the weather as well....

 

[altspace]

Still looking for her.

 

[amsgator]

well fixing the intake didnt do it...idk what the problem is then. guess i'll clean the egr valve and see how that goes. hopefully get to it w/ in the next week. i hope movin the pipe a lil to get it to fit the header didnt do anything, i doubt it but idk. i'll see what the valve does i guess.

 

[mazda_pro5_2nr]

Well the 03 model has a problem with the EGR valve and the intake manifold. the intake manifold i think can be covered under recall but the EGR valve is just teh sucks.

Oh yeah, forgot, Just bought or am going to buy this weekend, a CP racing type strut bar. AutoX....I'm working my way up to you......(alright)

 

[aMaff]

why do you need a strut bar to autocross??? The CP bar mounts to the firewall as well right? That throws you WAYYY up in the classes...

Is that sarcasm? (dunno) No but I just want to mod it as much as possible before I take it up there. Its a Mexican thing, lol. Maybe I can get the wheels that pop out the side of the car about 4 feet to get a better wheel base, lol. (screwy)
