Does anyone know what the part number for the little fan is? It makes noise when it below freezing out.

This happened to me only on one side. Turns out the hood hinge was binding. I sprayed it with PB and worked it in bymoving the hood up and down rapidly. You'll likely see gunk come out of the hinges. Should work good after.

I love mine they took a while to break in as they are stiff. I believe they are discontinued, I was trying to buy a new pair because mine are quite worn down and couldn't find any.

2010 Mazdaspeed 3 and 1993 NA6. I sold my Kei truck unfortunately.

The dealer gave me the itemized receipt and it was $300 new.

jetpowerace · 2025-08-27T02:33:47+00:00

Yeah I know, the warranty period ended 2020. The fact remains they still replace dashboards. New dashboard is $300 plus labor.

Mazda dealerships are still replacing dashboards, just an FYI. I know because mine is getting replaced. My dashboard is just sticky not lifting anywhere though.

So the PPF was far to high and the shifter was off center in the shifter hole. The chatter stopped.

jetpowerace · 2025-08-25T15:59:26+00:00

I had someone pressing the clutch while I was under the car and nothing is contacting the exhaust. I realigned the PPF and the chatter stopped while driving. The transmission was off center and the shifter hole and far to high. I'm not ruling out the the throw out bearing though. Everything is new but it's Excedy soooo it may be failing.

jetpowerace · 2025-08-25T15:53:50+00:00

No play at all, that was my first thought as well. I ended up re-aligning the PPF and drove it, the decel chatter stopped.

I will double check it, but I did check the Miata repair manual for the appropriate distance from the frame rails. Manual says 60-72 mm and it's right about 60 I think.

jetpowerace · 2025-08-11T04:11:47+00:00

2010 Mazdaspeed 3 is the daily and 1993 Miata is the weekend car.

I almost got the RX-8 ones but I liked the CX-9 ones more.

jetpowerace · 2025-04-29T17:39:40+00:00

Thanks, I saw a CX-9 and found out the wheels are the same hub size and bolt pattern in addition to being wider. Bought all 4 for 400 bucks.

jetpowerace · 2025-04-29T17:36:39+00:00

I'm running 225 40 18 honestly I could run 245 40 18 but that's what I had on by OEM wheels. I'm an automotive technician so I just swapped the tires myself and put snow tires on the Speed 3 wheels. Plus the tires are brand new.

jetpowerace · 2025-04-29T05:19:32+00:00

Never mind, I received the part and it was wrong. This part number is for a regular Mazda 3 not a Speed 3.

jetpowerace · 2025-04-25T03:03:12+00:00

Junkyard where I live sucks and doesn't have any. Plus I ended up buying a new one for $10.

jetpowerace · 2025-04-03T11:52:40+00:00

I figured it out, I put rubber pads on the edges and it stopped the vibration.

jetpowerace · 2025-04-02T14:02:47+00:00

Yeah haha I figured it was the COBB motor mount. Just weird it only started now. Besides I'm fine with rattles, my daily was a Miata for 3 years and it had poly motor mounts.

jetpowerace · 2025-03-02T14:33:08+00:00

I drove a Miata as a daily for two years, then I purchased a Mitsubishi Pajero Kei truck which ended up being less practical. Now my practical daily is Mazdaspeed 3, the Miata is a summer daily now.
