Hi all

Does anyone have these as im wearing the outside edge of my front tyres down in a matter of months and its gettin expensive!!

Im going to take it in for a full alignment but want to be armed with the factory figures - just to defend against being told "we cant work on it because its lowered ...

Yeah youre right about the warming up thing, I heard that if I overinflate them though it will bulge the centre of the tread meaning the middle wears prematurely, dont you find that running 51psi or is that with really high pressures?
Ill have to look on the tyre as well never thought of that :roll ...

Chaps

Hoping someone could clear this up for me. On standard wheels/tyres 205/55/15s mazda suggest 28psi all round.

Im changing to 215/40/17s and wondered what the pressures should be...? dont want to wear out my new toyo proxes too quick!!!!!!

Should I keep the same pressures or does it vary on ...

after sorting my problems with parts i would reccomend giving your local cafco or partco a call, they were both pretty good when i called them.

Ive got a bodyshop mate of mine that thinks hes got all the laser goodies to sort my camber etc out, lets wait and see....

I gotta get me to some meets, ill keep my eyes on http://www.teamshock.co.uk see if anything comes up. deffo jap meet in summer fella!

This is what ive got for camber adjustment.

Only thing is no garage will touch me! Its almost like the trouble you get from garages that refuse ...

sweet, looks like its gonna get sorted now by a garage i know for a pretty reasonable price.

One thing they cant help with is resetting my camber after i lowered the car.
U know anywhere that would do it around Reading?

i bought a set of camber bolts (car only lowered 35 mm) so should be dead ...

yeah iv had a few bits from ebay, just saved myself some money on the aircon pipe!!

im a bit worried about cv joints and boots though, how long do they typically last? if i buy used ones i dont want them to be shagged again in 6 months

just looked at your car pics ptw mate, looking like a big ...

Im looking for stuff like CV joints/boots and brake anti squeal plates.
Just general maintainence bits really but would rather not pay mazda dealer prices and piss money up the wall!

Also need one piece of pipe for the air con but dont hold up much hope for that cheap unless someone is breaking an ...

I added one to my UK car, have built an mdf shelf for speakers and when i did it i fixed a 3rd light to the top of it so it shows through in about the same place as the US pic there. really easy to do.

If my digicam wasnt stubbornly refusing to talk to PC then i would upload a pic.

does anyone have the part number for the RS garnish from mazda?

It could be difficult to get hold of in the UK, as far as im aware, all MX-3s came with what the americans call the GS spoiler whether 4cyl or V6.

hopefully they can do shipping at a reasonable price, £280 is plenty to pay as it is!

Also hope they speak english as my german hasnt been used since school!

By translating the pakfeifer website through google, I understand you buy the spoiler then you buy an auxilury spoiler that covers the gap where you remove the standard spoiler.

Ive taken my standard one off in the past and there are holes etc straight into car so you would definitely need this to ...

No I dont like the pakfeifer on on evoperformance either but look on the pakfeifer site, they do a rounded one as well, like the mazdaspeed spoiler,



See what i mean?

I found it on the pakfeifer austria website for about £280 when you convert from euros, but thats plus shipping which starts to become silly money again!!
