    Hey - You can take it to your local City of Toronto waste transfer station which handles hazardous goods. I know there is one at Nugget and Markham Rd.

    I found that the best place for them was behind the bumper re-bar plate (that big metal plate that runs across the front of the car behind the bumper). You can use some double sided tape and then put...

    Re: Jack stand locations

    I always used the same positions as the emergency jack for the jack stands. It worked fine for me.

    Re: Why do MS3's have such high HP????

    It's probably because of the way they measure the power, the compression ratio, and the amount of boost being run.

    How do you think the STi with a 2.5L makes over 300HP whereas the Speed3 makes...

    I second that, and would actually say that it's better than other front wheel drive cars because of the limited slip which will help in slippery conditions... And this is coming from a guy who just...

    Did the extended warranty actually get transferred into your name?
  14. Re: Heavy White Smoke from Exhaust Tail Pipe - Warranty Extension Program (SSP84)

    It doesn't say anything about excluding those who had the turbo already replaced.

    It even indicates that they may reimburse you for any repair costs you paid out of pocket for this problem.

    No...
  15. Heavy White Smoke from Exhaust Tail Pipe - Warranty Extension Program (SSP84)

    Hey guys - I received a notice from Mazda today and looks like they've finally stepped up and acknowledged that there may be an issue with the K04 turbo in the Gen1.

    Re: 2010 MS3 ECU location

    That's good to hear.

    Did they figure out why it happened to begin with? I'd hate to go through all this only to have the ECU get fried again after the first flash you try.

    For some reason it's tough to find locally. I get mine from eShine but Parts Source has it and I *believe* that NextMod may also.

    Re: non spitting tire shine

    I use "More Shine Less Time" and didn't notice any spitting. Good thing with that product is that it won't dry out your tires or brown them.

    Re: 2010 MS3 ECU location

    That sucks, hopefully they can get it resolved asap.

    You may want to speak with Cobb before you remove the ECU, just in case they can get it to reflash without sending the ECU to them.

    Re: 2010 MS3 ECU location

    If it's anything like the Gen 1, it should be right next to the battery in the engine compartment. You need to remove the entire battery tray to get the ECU out.

    Did you use a torque wrench the first time you installed it?

    If you can't figure it out, an option may be to leave it for a week or two and see if it goes away. Sometimes these things come and go.
