Here is another picture of the car just for fun. Sitting beside my brothers mazda 3 hatchback, picture taken from 2nd floor. Gives a good perspective on how tiny the car is :)

wow man, thanks that was fast :eek:

I like the blue on it, looks pretty slick. Not sure the hood would really fit it. But in anycase that give me a good reference at least. Hmm actually the hood...

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of yall would be able to help me decide on a new colour for my car. I'm thinking of getting the car finished with a black C/F hood, and everything else a blue brushed...

Yep been done. here is his thread from Honda Tech. The engine swap really starts around page 4 but there is some interesting fab to the brakes on the first few pages too. ...

Could be Primer_Drift's beat. He's upgraded it to a B16a, that would sound significantly better than the stock engine.

Recent crappy Canada Post experience here. I had a package come in on Thursday, It was snowing all day but I was at work just my older brother home. When the delivery got to the door my brother...

I have an update for anyone interested.

After the o2 sensor was replaced I noticed no difference in the way the car ran. All the problems were still there. A few more cropped up too. The car...

Thats odd :( I had no issues at all with my DNS-323 and any of my Windows 7 machines. Boot up, use the IP to map as a network drive and you're done. You can get a driver from D-Link but it shouldn't...

I could probably make it out for this. I'm not from Calgary so that wouldn't help you with the loneliness :P

Thanks for the suggestion. I got a new o2 sensor for it ($435...:cry: ) that should be in here and in the car on Saturday. I'll see how things look after that. That'll give me time to find out where...

Thanks for the repost adidas I didn't see the first video posted. I was thinking okay this isn't bad...then they went outside that cage and climbed up those little bolt 'ladders' and I got shivers....

So I should change the oil asap to clean it up before anything else then right. Then once thats okay again continue looking for the cause? Provided of course the damage isn't already done...

Okay, I brought the car to another shop, local only 4km away. They have not been able to get any codes active on the car since I dropped it off. Now I'm getting rather frustrated :( This new shop has...

Thanks for the replys guys. I was thinking it would be something like what EK 2.0 said with the universal being hit or miss. I've gotten it scheduled with a local shop for later this coming week to...

Hey people,

I finally have my car back after a long while (4½ months total) having a ton of work done to get it up and running again. I've spent just under $7000 getting it going again so far....

Long time since an update...The car has been getting some repairs done for the last 4.5 months. :nut:

Yeah the beat is cool looking :thumbsup: I've driven one, but found it really slow and sluggish. Normal Kei class engine but no turbo like the Cappuccino or AZ-1. Still a decent little car but don't...

Thats a good question, I asked him the same. He said he didn't actually see the guy get out of the truck till he was beside his car. I guess he wasn't expecting the guy to hop out so he wasn't...

InRich's comments are more than uncalled for. Wow, its people like him that do stupid crap like this in the first place :banghead:

The road this happened on was not a freeway. It was a regular...

Yeah was a shitty situation for sure. The police have said that the case is as solid as it get for charging him. 3 eye witnesses all with the same story, it was reported immediatly and they were able...

Not me personally but my younger brother. He was driving home from work, 50km limit, and a guy behind him started tailing him quite close. My brother was doing the limit not speeding at all and this...

Its finally warming up and getting nice out so I'll be cleaning my car up and getting some good pictures of it soon for those people interested in it.

Hey everyone,

Currently my car has all the Mazdaspeed edition options on it except for the rear spoiler. This spoiler can't be purchased anymore :( I like the look of it as it fits the style of...

Well maybe not too exciting but my car wont turn off. I couldn't get it started today just made a tickticktick sound. I thought it sounded like the battery was dead so I bump started it. It fired...

Thanks Ukyo8! I love it : ) Thanks to you other fellas that had a look to try and help.

I think I've pretty much tracked my problem down. From what I've read when the previous owner put on the HKS...

Its a Mazda AZ-1. Has an F6A engine. I'll post a pic.

I'm thinking I should start looking at the PCV valve maybe?

Honestly I don't know. I've never seen an air filter look like that before. I just got the car recently so I'm not fully familiar with it yet. I was just worried seeing it all full of oil and that...

Hey guys,

I had help here before with my car and I was hoping I could get some more advice. Today I pulled off my air filter, it didnt look too dirty till I saw the back side of it :( I'm going...

Thanks for the help there. I've still not had any luck tracking anything down. The closest tire size I can find that are actually available anywhere is 175/70 R13 but thats a difference of 7.5% :(...

I'm trying to find winter tires for my car but no one seems to be able to get the size I'm looking for :( The stock wheel size on my car is 155/65 R13. I've gone to a few places and none of them...
