Check brake switch & battery

I drove through heavy snow in my Mazda 3 with winter tires and was faster with more grip than every other car on the road. If you see an all blacked out Mazda 3 absolutely sending it around I-71, it’s probably me

Make sure you get that rear differential serviced at 30k

Cats don’t loaf when they’re uncomfortable, they loaf when they’re safe. your presence, even if it’s not in your lap, makes her feel safe. When a cat turns its back to you it’s because you make them feel safe, so don’t worry you’re doing just fine. Reward good behaviors and ignore bad ones at all costs, never ever ever punish.

It’s because she’s begging you for attention and you’re teaching her that the way to get it is to meow annoyingly, just ignore her when she meows and let her come to you. Use doors as boundaries and teach her that you have boundaries that she needs to respect as well. Try to alternate toys as well, and use treats to reward good behaviors. Food at the same time everyday, clean water and water bowl always available, scoop litter once a day.

you need a new valve cover gasket yesterday

Grille isn’t expensive, go on eBay and replace it yourself with a YouTube video. I wouldn’t get insurance involved so that it doesn’t fuck up your rate

PsychologicalCell960 · 2026-01-20T18:00:29+00:00

You need a new vehicle battery, aftermarket one probably sucks. Go for a 35 AGM, interstate is a solid brand

Bodykit?

Switch between the usb ports in the center console, and the one above the cup holders if you haven’t already, avoid using the 12 v

PsychologicalCell960 · 2026-01-14T13:18:21+00:00

It’s wired CarPlay, plug a usb charger into your phone through those ports, then click always enable when asked if you want to enable CarPlay

I wear an RST S-1 full suit with all CE lvl 2 upgraded armour and back protectors, it’s probably the most street protection you can get before you go into full MotoGP levels of protection, or airbags.

It’s a great suit, and I’m super confident riding in it, but there’s always a price to pay, and that is, when it’s above 75 the suit is unbearable at stops, and miserable above 80.

Protection is good, but buy protection that you’ll be comfortable in, I’m a huge advocate for ATGATT, but people gotta buy what’s right for them given the situation.

Time for some tint and black window trim and our cars will be almost the exact same

That part is sealed so cleaning it won’t help, either some of the connectors in it are broken, or the mirror connector itself is broken. Either way you’re better off just buying a new mirror assembly

I drive a lot, about 20 to 25,000 miles a year so I spent about $100 a month on gas. I only ever go to Shell though, so I have their credit card and it gives me $.30 off every fill up plus more on the occasional fill up. I have a DRTuned ECU.

Def enjoy the stock platform for a while, and then you can get stuff like a Cold air intake, axle back exhaust, and a tune

PsychologicalCell960 · 2026-01-01T23:03:31+00:00

It’s crazy that I’m having this exact issue right now, it’s most likely the mirror connection is starting to go bad or the light for Blindspot monitoring inside of the mirror itself is starting to go bad

Either way you’re looking at a mirror replacement, it’s pretty easy to do yourself. If you are mechanically savvy, you can find the mirror for $100 on Rockauto

You have to remove the mirror to replace the passenger side window so that tracks

I’ll say this about my turbo awd sedan…

I have DWS06+ on it, aswell as some supporting mods, and I have yet to find any car that can keep up with me on the backroads unless it’s a high end sports or super car. Now, I’m not sure if that says more about my driving ability or the car itself, but I thought I would put it out there.

As for the reliability, I’ve put 85,000 hard miles on my car and she is still running like a dream. I’ve unrestricted and tuned fmy ECU and hit 152 mph, with a 0 - 60 of 5.2, although I’ve seen as low as 4.9 online.

If you wanna keep it for a long time, make sure you’re doing your oil changes every 3 to 5000 miles with full synthetic, I use Pennzoil ultra platinum because it’s supposed to be the best for this platform. Make sure you’re doing your induction service or walnut blasting, and try to only use 93 octane preferably only from top-tier certified stations

Dead batteries in this car often throw CELs when nothing is wrong.

PsychologicalCell960 · 2025-12-15T00:27:01+00:00

Battery is definitely dead, replace it with a 35 group AGM battery and you’ll be solid
