The effects of the turbonator: 1) Lightens your wallet by $69.99 2) Could have mildly adverse effects on your performance. 3) Makes you an object of ridicule if your buddies find out that you threw $70 of your hard-earned money on that piece of cr*p. With that kinda cash you could rig up a cold air ...

What's the purpose of the separator? (fuel system)

I noticed a mysterious fuel leak, and wasn't very happy about it. At first I thought it was from the filler tube, but once I took a better look, I saw it was from the separator. I didn't even know what it was called when I detected the leak. I expected 2 tubes in that area (filler/ventilation) but n...

Yeah, the taillights are working just fine. Looks like the dimmer switch will be another part on my shopping list. Thanks for the tip.

Head/instrument lights Don't Work

Last night I came to a nasty surprise. My lowbeams weren't working. Neither were my instrument lights. Highbeams were ok, so I managed to make a 45min roundtrip, but it's still annoying for myself and other drivers on the road. My $$$'s on a fuse. Had it been the bulb, the speedo/tach backlights wou...

As I said take your time and cherish your job. Speaking of which, are your people hiring? ;)

No rush. I would LIKE to have it by Saturday, but I won't wither and die if I don't ;) Basically I wanna have the shop get the certification work done before I go to the dealership and start b*tching about a missing faceplate, since they are the ones picking up the tab (they sold it to me certified)...

Ok, this is really grating on my nerves and I don't wanna cause any damage if i don't have to. Therefore I'll have to ask you guys/gals for a favor. If you have a digital camera, could you snap a couple of pics to show me: 1) how the latch is pushed 2) what the latch itself looks like 3) what it lat...

Ever since I got my RS, my buddies @ work have been making jokes about it being a "chick-car". I'm an RS driver and a guy. I got it for the following reasons: 1) It came in stick-shift. 2) It's fun to drive. 3) Mazdas are known for their reliability. 4) It's relatively easy to work on. I g...

Ok the lock itself is there and my ignition key actually turns it. I guess I'll try tripping the mechanism again later on today.

Btw. do I need a separate key for the glove compartment? If so, then I really hope the junkyard buy will come with one lol.

I hope i'll figure out a way. Actually I can get a screwdriver or a hooked wire in there, but I don't wanna start poking in there before I know the way the latch should be tripped to open it. Even a hand-drawn diagram would be a lot of help. Actually I don't expect to find the faceplate in there, bu...

Glove compartment woes..

I just got my hands on a '95 RS. The experience with the dealer was fairly unpleasant, and it will get even more so, but lets start with one problem at a time... It's supposed to come with a CD deck, and it does, but the faceplate is nowhere to be found. The only place I haven't taken a look at is t...
