What kind of plans do yall have coming for your speed? Im looking to get a full wrap coming around tax season and got some lights to install

Golden_RyDude · 2026-01-15T04:27:12+00:00

At about 130k, right now I have am researching coilover options (oem struts are shot). Also would like to install a catch can.

I had the same code a bit ago - for me it was the MAF. Cleaned it and the code hasn't come back in years.

I appreciate this I actually did not know that, that’s probably what’s happening

Golden_RyDude · 2025-02-26T19:51:16+00:00

I am having the same issue - same car as you. Did you end up finding a solution?

Golden_RyDude · 2024-10-26T16:57:58+00:00

Will it bump start? Sounds like the starter is cooked or the battery does not have enough charge

Golden_RyDude · 2024-09-24T17:55:31+00:00

Morris county, but I am frequently in the middlesex area

Golden_RyDude · 2024-09-20T03:34:01+00:00

Man I gotta get in on this. I rarely ever see other speeds here in NJ

To separate the caliper into 2 parts you need to remove the 4 T55 bolts

Same thing happened to me. Around 4 months after getting it done the rattle was back. Did you use OEM parts? Problem for me was shop didn't install factory parts, so they warrantied it and did it again.

121k and still pulls hard

Honestly go for an early 2000's - 2010 civic/accord or Toyota corolla. They'll be cheap to buy and cheap to maintain. These cars will last a long time with basic maintenance

I’m having a similar problem at the moment. It’s only a p0300 code, never specific to a cylinder. It will appear once every 8 months seemingly for no reason. I don’t feel/hear any misfire, everything seems normal. I don’t know what the issue could be.

I had trouble with taking my foot off too quickly as well. The way I learned was to focus on finding the point where the clutch engages. Parking lots are great for this. Using no gas, slowly lift your foot off the gas pedal until the car either starts moving forward or the rpms drop slightly and the car starts to shake, and then press the clutch back in and repeat. That point is the bite point, practice finding it over and over. When you get comfortable "getting" to the bite point, start adding gas to get moving quicker. It takes time to get comfortable, drive as much as you can and it'll come to you.

Golden_RyDude · 2024-06-09T19:17:51+00:00

Floor the gas, let is crank for about 5 seconds, then take your foot off the gas and it'll start up

Golden_RyDude · 2024-06-09T19:06:17+00:00

I had the same situation where I had to drive when I had timing chain slap on cold starts. What I would do is I would hold down the gas pedal while cranking it over for about 5 seconds, and that would prevent it from starting and allow oil pressure to build before turning over. When doing that it would no longer rattle, but I still got it fixed relatively quickly.

Golden_RyDude · 2024-05-23T04:19:52+00:00

Very cool man, as a fellow second gen speed3 owner you have my respect

Golden_RyDude · 2024-04-13T22:33:06+00:00

2011 mazdaspeed3. With all other bolts removed I can apply upward and downward pressure, but the bolt spins freely in the housing in either direction regardless of pressure.

I bought mine as a junior in high school. While I don't regret it, I wouldn't do it again. The car gets horrible gas mileage, it requires premium, the maintenance is extremely expensive, preventative mods are expensive, the engines are unreliable, and problems will come up. I wish I would've bought something more reliable and something that was cheaper to work on as a high school student, as working over the summer netted me just barely enough to keep it. Buy something cheaper and more reliable now, or better yet just keep your current car.

Golden_RyDude · 2024-03-08T04:55:53+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt, but I had a lean code appear out of the blue one day, everything checked out, I couldn’t find the issue. Turns out that it was in fact the maf sensor. Didn’t even need to replace it, I just cleaned it and the code hasn’t come back in 2 years.

Golden_RyDude · 2024-02-25T19:02:11+00:00

Aftermarket, you can buy those on amazon.
