i think in his defense most of the looney decisions we make on these cars is because no one really knows wtf they are talking about with these rotaries including but certainly not limited to the mechanics at mazda.....so the best bet is to go with the flow...and try not to get caught up in the relentless desire of others to make this car seem like its a friggin exotic panther that needs all this special care.......drive it like you stole it..

POST #33

Again... sigh.... $342 CAD SHIPPED TO YOUR DOOR.

4 coils
4 ignition wires
4 spark plugs.

Install yourself everything took me 3 hours (first time doing it) including setting up jacks and stuff.

You spent $440 + $95 + $70 and all you got was front coils...

EPIC FAIL MAN! You're the real definition of "ballin' out of control" hahahahah

I dunno it says Footman said it, but that couldn't of been you

 

There is nothing about BHR in that post. I don't know what you are talking about. My post was telling you about the stock coils price.

 

Doesnt race roots only sell BHR coils or aftermarket stuff? not OEM?

 

They sell aftermarket and OEM... check it out, great selection, great prices:

www.raceroots.com

Talk to "Bruce"

 

Ok i retract my previous statement, Footman I appologize. I just went on the site. Not haven a good day, so that posted just pissed me off.

 

What's done is done, the car is at Mazda getting coils swapped.

However Mike if your insisent on servicing Mazda, I suggest going to one where other members go and establishing a club discount similar to what we get at Scarboro Mazda and Mazda of Toronto. Now of course weigh cost savings vs the drive there. That's why ai suggest talking to the dealership there to establish a club discount.

 

It's all good, I'm cool

 

Anyone know where i can get and Right Upper control arm boot? lol mazda is charging 120$ including install. They say no dealer in canada has it so they have to get it from the us. I have an appointment to get it replaced on saturday. Also my pads are almost done, where can i get the pads from, raceroots? and whats better, stock or Mazdaspeed pads?

 

For OEM parts I use onlinemazdaparts.com. Great guys to deal with, pretty much everything is 50% off list price.
