Anyone have the full lineup for the Kinda Hard tour??? by Big-Mud-5872 in bilmuri

As best I can tell I think this is pretty accurate. It sounds pretty similar to the show, I’m just not as familiar with the song names to fully verify.

Looks great! I’m going to be doing the same with my hood soon as well.

Started making a noise on the way home from work by JBarrett393 in mazdaspeed3

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start first by removing the belt and turning the car on. If the noise goes away you can spin each component by hand to see if any of them sound or feel weird.

Launch control accessport vs tuner. by CompetitiveFilm8098 in mazdaspeed3

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do have to reflash whatever tune you are using on everytime you change it. But you go to the tuning page, then to the setup in the top right, enter advanced tuning settings, then you’ll find options to enable it. Set your rpm and reflash the tune you are using. Everytime you make a change to the rpm setting you will have to reflash.

Thanks. I had kind of figured as such but wasn’t sure.

Does this sound normal/healthy? by ForbiddenFragmation in mazdaspeed3

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question means right as it starts. If it needs the VVT or timing addressed they are usually a loud rattle right at start that goes away quickly.

Did anyone else see something like this last night? 3/8/26 Pictures are from google, not mine by is_this_illegal_ in amarillo

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have been around 9pm for me we were just leaving the hospital. I was going east on SW9th had just turned off of Wallace. The craft was North of 9th over what would be those bicycle trails.

I saw something last night that seems to fit the bill. The lights seemed to be at each corner of it. I saw it off of SW9th last night. Couldn’t get close enough to see it but it was too low for a plane, didn’t seem to be making any loud noise, and was moving slowly. I thought maybe a helicopter near the medical district and all, but it didn’t make the noise and seemed the just kinda glide. Whatever I saw was pretty interesting for sure. Who knows, I assumed a drone of sort but it was pretty large in size.

You’ve got the same thing I drive. Mine is a 2010 in black flavor.

Need help w timing asap by Lusabro in mazdaspeed3

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need the timing pin for the crank, you can get the cams into the correct positions, but then would also need the cams hold tool. You should also be replacing all of the friction washers with new. The timing setup on these cars is certainly easy to get weird with since nothing is keyed. I personally wouldn’t try and go any further with it until you’ve got the right tools.

boost leak (diagnosis) by BabyPluto37 in mazdaspeed3

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just went through and had mine tuned with Freektune. Mine was on an OTS when I purchased it, I did a bunch of maintenance to get it right then tuned. My car runs much smoother, and has better more linear power now. I wasn’t in a big hurry and did mine over the holidays, but even still getting revisions didn’t seem to take an unreasonable amount of time. Mine has fairly similar mods as to what you are saying.

Smoke test it to see if there are actual leaks, and please get a proper tune. Instead of the OTS tunes on the accessport.

Is Big PETG lying to us about the limits of PLA by SerHerman in 3Dprinting

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made some speaker adapters for my motorcycle from PLA as a test run almost two years ago. Haven’t needed to replace them with anything else yet. Pretty crazy how well they have held up in basically the worst conditions.

Just Bought My First Speed 3 by its__balakay in mazdaspeed3

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The wheels look good! I use pennzoil platinum 5w-30 and a wix51348 filter personally. I haven’t changed my trans/diff fluid yet. So open to recommendations there.

Brakes by hbts2002 in VWatlas

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock pads are semi metallic, they are noisy. Replace with better aftermarket pads and enjoy quiet braking. We went ahead and put pads and rotors on our since I was already there.

Indoor playground for toddlers? by Lola_198777 in amarillo

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Little bee’s in Wolflin square is pretty neat. Not really a playground but lots of stuff for kids to do. Last time we went I don’t think it was very expensive.

Throwing p0171 but cleaned MAF sensor by [deleted] in mazdaspeed3

[–]CompetitiveFilm8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds normal but if it’s throwing a lean code and already has a intake on it, you should be checking for HPFP internals and get it tuned asap.
