    94 M-Edition Miata Build

    I'll start by saying, I do not have an SI and really don't need anything too performance oriented. What I do need are new rotors (one of them is grooved, the other is warped) that are slightly better than OEM. I plan on getting Duralast Gold Ceramic pads from the AutoZone I work at (can't beat...

    Ok. What is this noise

    The dealer doesn't seem to know what is causing this noise because they have already "Fixed" (charged me for work that wasn't done and only made my problem worse) and can't seem to tell me what the problem is. It makes this noise when I'm at low speeds, or when I'm turning left at any speed...

    I'm looking for any suggestions on headlight and foglight bulbs. Looking for something that shoots light out further without blinding oncoming drivers, and without a pricey projector retrofit. Currently I have 6K HID's with the standard H11 Halogen fog lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When do you change your oil? (Non SI-R18Z1)

    The dealership I bought my car from has suggested I change the oil when it reaches 15% on the Maintenance reminder. Other friends have told me to change it every 5,000 miles. I would like to hear when you all change your oil, and what you use! So far I've waited until 15% oil life, and changed...

    Weird head unit problems?

    I have a 2014 Honda Civic LX coupe, so i have the base headunit and speakers. My question is, does anyone have the weird issues I'm having, with their headunit?
