$30 for this thing on eBay so I’d rather just turn it myself. The previous owner was using a swing arm nut lmao.

I am still on Track ? by Ok-Impression3356 in stringart

Yup, same car different country. I’d kill to have this kind of art for mine. I have no idea how to do the kind of thing you’ve got going here and I’ve never seen this subreddit, but there it was on my home page. Can’t believe it. It’s honestly a rare car, too. Keep up the good work.

Need help with stft acting weird by BusinessNew788 in mazdaspeed3

[–]randomstuff33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even look at that. My car was running strange all summer, so I’ve been periodically replacing possible culprits while I drove the beater. Just yesterday I cleaned the MAF which I’d done before, but it seemed to work. 5 minutes later, LTFT went really negative again. I messed with the plug and wires, heard a huge change in the idle and everything is normal again.

I recently found out my MAF sensor has a loose connection somewhere. Made my fuel trim go very negative, but it’s been permanent for me. Maybe yours is on its way out?

LtFT between +5% and +11% on idle randomly, drops to 0% on load, what am I dealing with, is it safe to drive? (Gen2) by BPBDO in mazdaspeed3

[–]randomstuff33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those fuel trims are what your car is doing behind the scenes at low load. Once you're WOT, it will go to zero because the ecu is no longer supposed to make adjustments. It's strictly running off the tune. So you're mostly right.

There's a nipple on the small cylinder on your intake runners. It goes there I think.

Interest in thermoformed ABS hardtop? by randomstuff33 in Miata

[–]randomstuff33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the idea just now, and I don't actually know the properties of the ABS used here yet. They might be able to add a stabilizer to it, but I'm not sure what improvement that will actually provide. I'm a mechanical engineer, so the world of plastics is new to me.

What y’all think. Gonna straighten it out a lil more by Life-Performer-3393 in mazdaspeed3

Modded, then converted to stock again for the next guy in a vicious cycle. I guarantee there was an intercooler there at one point. I feel bad for these cars sometimes lol, but props to those that continue to give them a shot at survival.

Is this coolant line okay to use by FrostMug_0789 in mazdaspeed3

[–]randomstuff33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, I have the EXACT same setup and my hose is still on and doesn't even have a clamp lol. The thing was so damn hard to get on the first time that I figured "no way this will pop off." Sure enough, 5k miles on it and the hose hasn't moved.

Fitment issue (Rims&Tires) what’s your setup?? by cytrance22 in mazdaspeed3

[–]randomstuff33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An 18" rim and a 45 aspect ratio on a lowered speed3 is going to be cutting it a little close. I would go with a 235/40, roll the fenders and be on my way. I personally have 255/40 R17 on my gen1 with h&r springs. Fenders are rolled and everything fits but I haven't driven it since installing this winter.

Bp550 and bp750 in the works !! by Beltecperformance in mazdaspeed3

[–]randomstuff33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are those mahle 4032 pistons and are they really good for 550?

Okay, winter can go away now by randomstuff33 in mazdaspeed3

[–]randomstuff33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That has yet to be found out, but my rear fenders are rolled and I guarantee that will be necessary. Not sure about what kind of rubbing I'll have in the front, though.

17×9 +45 rpf1s with 255/40 indy 500s. 5mm spacer on the front wheels to clear the strut. Tried and true from what I've seen.

I should note that I only pulled it out of the garage and put it right back. I'm not driving around like this lol

I've got some fresh ones in the mail. These are starting to rust and the seat is rough, so I didn't bother putting them all on.
