Happy reading

 

welcome!

 

Congrats. Enjoy the car.

 

Prolly should ask this in the Dumb Question no flaming thread but.....

What's a catalyzer bse50?

 

I'm pretty sure its just another term for the cat converter

 

... really??

 

catalytic, catalyst same thing

 

Ok ... kewl
Gotta honestly say I've never heard/seen it called that .....

Live and learn I suppose

 

Welcome aboard. Read, search, and learn

 

First thing u should do is don't listen to noobs like 9krpmrx8

seriously, welcome to the forum. hmm, yeah, Read, search and learn

 

Welcome!

Read the stickies and go to your local club meet.

Keep your foot off the gas, and don't hot dog around corners.

Go to your local HDPE or Autocross for driving skills and fun.

No need to mod the car. The car can drive better than you can handle it.

 

, very true. And if you follow NYCGPS's advice you will soon have a stock pile of various brands of 20W-50 oil and super expensive Über rare JDM parts.

 

Welcome.

Advice...drive it like you stole it

 

congrats on the car! i hate to be a downer. but maybe consider starting a savings account on the side. if you got an extended warranty then it may not be such a problem, but being over 100,000 miles you are over mazda engine core warranty. they are prone to seizing at any minute and they are not cheap to replace.

but anyways, drive her hard!

 

Isnt the Warranty up since he mustve bought it used. I have alot of Warranty questions if someone intelligent can PM me.. Fck my life

congrats on the car, GL being over 100k keep an eye on ur "dummy gauges". Also dont ever talk to 9k cause he only knows about packaging rice and driving hondas

:

 

, my Honda driving days are over. The Honda I could possibly foresee in my future is an NSX.

 

Warranty is still good if you buy it used. However, sdhill01, 134K is no longer in any warranty period.

 

Welcome to the club!

 

Welcome to the addiction!

 

Thanks guys.....Was wondering if i can find out if my engine has been replaced already...

 

Call Mazda North America with the VIN and ask.
