I know our cars supposed to smoke a lil, but my car is white and it will stay clean for a day or two but right where myu exhaust is my paint turns a brown tan color cause of my exhaust (it cleans right off) but its annoying and looks nasty!! how much does our cars supposed to smoke?? mine isnt bad unless im gettin gon her pretty hard and when i let off thats when it wants to smoke so I donno.. eather way I hate having to clean my car 24-7 just in that one small area!! anything i can do to reduce or stop this??? Ill see if i can get apic of what im talking about but my cam is acting funky!! no promises!!





Also at around 2000rpm my car has a vibration and its annoying as all get up!! if i let off the gas it will quit, if i give it a lil more gas it quits but if im crusing at like 35-40mph and my rpm is 2000 roughly it has a vibration that sounds like its from my front suspension and its loud and very annoying!!! I know its not supposed to be there but what should i look for or is this a common problem?? any help is nice..

The exhaust tip should be a little past your bumper. If it is flush or shorter it will do that to it. Either get a new muffler or have the pipe extended a bit (cut & weld in a small segment) to allow the muffler tip to stick out a bit. Maybe some one else has another idea..

well i can do that next weekend, since i am installing my new downpipe and midpipe it wouldnt be anything to extend it 2-3" more... its pretty even with the roll in my rear bumper..

I think that will help you out. That way when you are sitting at a stop light or where ever idling it will keep the exhaust from going right up on your bumper. It doesn't so much matter as long as you are moving, but sitting just lets the exhaust go straight up & if the tip sticks out a bit past it it should not do that to your car. Hope it works out for you.

Thanks a bunch, ill prob do it this weekend if i can get my welder out!



Im still trying to figure out what this noise however is from my front end around 2 grand?? its super annoying. but ive never heard of suspension makin such a noise but the only thing i can think of is my struts or something.

Is it a squeek or a clunck? Is it constant or heard on bumps & turns?

its more of a grind sound actually, but it only happens at 2grand just cruising at like 20-30mph thats it. if i give it gas it goes away if i let off the gas it goes away... and its a constant sound it doesnt matter if im on turns or bumps or whatnot.. its kinda annoying... when I redo my car this winter I am changing my shocks and springs and adding sway bars, so It may be worth my while to kinda check everything over and grease up everything and hope I solve the problem... But then again something may be rubbing under there I just cant imagine what tho..???

teamrj83

I think I may have figured out the annoying rubbing sound... could it possibly be a wheel bearing?? its almost what it sounds like but I can't figure out why it would only do it at 2000 rpm only?? but hey i guess weirder things has happened? well anyone changed one out on a FD yet and how expensive are they and will autozone stock them or is it a special mazda order :-( ohh and i forgot are they greaseable bearings that I could try pumpin it full of grease before I tear it apart!??
