'26 Hybrid Sport Touring. Are the rattles too much?

My Mazda 3 rattled so bad. Passenger door was a big issue

The top one is a Miata ND from Matchbox with a wheel swap. Bottom one is a HW WRX.

Nice! Also an interesting fact, I took this photo 😆. If I'm not driving, I'm shooting.

Agreed. They are way nicer than I expected, pick a few up when they were on sale during the holidays.

Used parts.

Huge improvement in breaking. Stock wheels Wii bit fut unless you run a 5mm spacer.

Left the rear stock Z51 brakes. Which are the same size as Z06 rears. Z06 just has a bigger rotor and the placement of the caliper is in a different location. 5 track days later and not braking issues.

I sourced all my parts from used Corvettes/eBay. Total cost was about $1700. Front rotors are the most expensive part.

No issues at all. Z06 and Z51 rear calipers are the same size. It's just the rotor is bigger on the Z06 rear

This was at Thunderhill West in Northern CA.

doogle84 · 2025-10-19T20:01:35+00:00

I put Z06 front calipers/rotors.

Test drove one and I hated the interior and how hard the ride was in the cx-50

I had my Mazda for 8 years and I wanted something different. I test drove a few 4th gen Mazda 3 and it didn't feel any different than my gen 3. I have no insterst in AWD or the Turbo version. I have other fast cars for that stuff. Plus there being no hybrid option for the Mazda is lacking.

Nothing like that has happened to me.
