A friend and I replaced the pads and rotors on my car just a couple of months ago... now all of a sudden :shock: im getting a crazy loud squeal comming from my front passenger tire. I was told that when it squeals like this is a warning to get your pads replaced. :wink: This morning when I got to wo...

I'd really like some of info on this too... I'll do some looking around, but if anyone has any input please share!

Uh... correct me if im wrong... but you dont want heat escaping from your headers or exaust... at least not for a while. Your car will preform better and you engine bay will stay alot cooler, thats why they make things like http://www.heatshieldproducts.com/inferno_header_wrap.php ............. If t...

will doing this stop your seatbelt from locking up when you are breaking hard...

When i was tearing apart the interior i thought about just unplugging that, but i dont wanna smash my face off the stearing wheel when some tree jumps infrount of me

Ok, so now i think it is the starter, now it just makes a quite growling noise. nothing else... the cool thing is i'll get a new one for free if it test dead... but it kinda pisses me off that it didnt last that long. What can cause a starter to die? If my flywheel's teeth are ground up will that af...

So earlyer i wrote about this http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=43456 , about the problem i had starting, thought i had solved it by tightning my plugs. But, it did it again! Once the starter wasnt cranking right, it was really slow, now everytime it doesnt start it cranks at the right spee...

So my car's been getting worse and worse at starting, the other day it would not start at all, i ended up cranking the starter so much that it started to smoke :oops: (it was cranking really slow) So i left for about 2 hours, i came back and the car started fine... My first thoughts were battery was...

Whats the cheepest you'll go for those side skirts? i'd go pick them up if you can get really cheep :-p

is $125 USD too unreasonable?

how bad is it if you use that lug remover thinger in the trunk to put on your wheels... I used something like that, i bounced on the end of it to tourque em down... is that bad? Heres the funny part, i didnt bounce on the frount passenger lugs and they started to come loose and i could hear this rep...

Replacing the starter is the first mechanical thing i have ever done in a car, other than adding fluids... I spent about 2 hours on it, but a good portion of that was exploring. I could have done it in under an hour if i didnt mess around so much... I was going to try my waterpump and timing belt, b...

my thought was something like the water pump, but then mine went bad and i had that and the timing belt replace... its not that.... :? its not a 'cool' noise not the whine of the engine pulling air into the intake, and not the vroom out the exaust... its just stuff from the engine.... :wink: My best...

I think everyone has it wrong. Its not a chicks car, it is a chick car! Everyone is attracted to it. chicks like it cause its petiete and curvey like them, men like it cause its petiete and curvey like chicks

For the longest time i thought all tiny mazda motors did this. When I let the rmps drop, or idle, my car makes a pretty loud whine. I've only ever heard other mazdas do it, and they all had the tiny little motors. But from what i've been reading some people dont have that whine. Does anyone know how...
