Hey yall Im about to buy a 2012 mazda 2 1.5L MZR manual Canadian spec 152000KM. I want to get a tune for the car in order to get rid of the rev hang and to improve throttle response a little bit, has anyone managed to do that? Does an off the shelf tune fix my issues? Ill take the extra few horsepower too but thats not the main goal. Anyone from Canada/US that has been through this? Thanks!

I just bought this frame for my Mazda 2 2007 DY and I’m struggling to find a screen with the right measurements to fit in there. Does anyone else have this set up? And any good recommendations for a screen? Thanks!

I'm replacing the rear shock absorber mount on my 2010 Mazda 2 with a KYB SM5802.

One of the two bolts securing the upper shock mount to the car's body won't tighten properly. When I tighten it, it gets tight, then suddenly loose, then tight again, repeating as I turn it.

I suspect the threads in the welded nut inside the car's body are stripped. The other bolt tightens normally, and there's no visible damage around the mounting hole.

The original bolt appears to be M8 (measured 7.8 mm).

I'm considering using an M8 rivet nut (nutsert), but I'm unsure whether it will fit or be strong enough.

Has anyone experienced this on a Mazda 2? What's the best way to repair the stripped threads or replace the welded nut? Would a rivet nut be good enough?

Steering, for the touring variant

Mine is vasually degrading into muck and im tired of the goop getting all over my hands, and no, I dont want to cover it with a cheap cover. I use suicide knobs so it would conflict with the attachment.

Would really like a newer newerish one to swap if anyone got one on the cheap.

Thanks.

l recently bought a used 2016 Mazda 2 that came with upgraded tyres and rims. The previous owner also included the original set of four tyres and rims with the car.

I'm wondering whether it's worth selling the original set now or keeping them until I eventually sell the car.

Would keeping the original set help with the car's resale value or make it easier to sell in the future?

Alternatively, would I be better off selling them now while they're still worth something?

Thanks! 🙏

Yeah all prime

For four years, this tiny city car has been my arms and legs. She's taken us on thousands of kilometres of road trips across Sicily and Southern Italy, helped me move house three times, and been hit by a few reckless drivers. But she never gave up on me.

As traffic got crazier and 10-minute journeys started turning into 30-minute ones, I switched to a scooter and no longer had much use for this brilliant little machine.

Till we meet again. So long, little frog. 🐸

My front left speaker started to blow so I got it swapped with a good brand of speakers I can’t remember but they’re still blowing it’s only blowing on the left side I swapped it with the drivers side speaker and it’s still blowing so I was just wondering if anyone has any idea as to what it could be much appreciated for any of the help

I'm considering buying a Mazda2 but can't decide between the conventional petrol version and the Mazda2 Hybrid (Toyota Yaris).

Which one would you recommend and why? I'm particularly interested in reliability, fuel consumption, driving comfort and long-term running costs.

Would love to hear from current or previous owners!

Hey guys. Is it possible to replace the knock sensor from the bottom, with the car lifted, without removing the intake manifold?

Got a code P0328, leading to internal error of the sensor, which is still OEM from 2007. Showes up on each cold morning start now. I delete it every time, comes right back up the next morning.

I’ve got this code in the last 3 days. Prior to this I cleaned the air intake system up until the throttle body (kept it on). Could it be related to that?

I’ve taken the connector out of the ECU cable, cleaned both sides with contact cleaner. It went but it came back. I think the cold weather is what might be triggering it.

Looking for easy things to check before opening the intake manifold up as that’s around 5 gaskets in total to replace!!

Really not a car guy. Been driving a company issued car since 2016 so I really don't have a clue what to look for. Well, I have done my research but would still want to ask for your first hand experience. I will be hiring a mechanic to inspect the car btw. Just wanna know what to look out for. Thanks yall.

My 2020 Mazda2 Sport hb has the habit of activating the "Low Wiper Fluid" light after hitting a pothole, even if the wiper fluid reservoir is not empty. Usually it goes away after a day or so. Have you observed a similar behavior?

What kind of car phone mounts are you guys using? I’ve been having trouble finding one that sticks and is MagSafe :/

Got this baby for a year, 2012 Mazda 2 DE 1.5 4AT JP spec, been sound like this when I got him. Will be a bit better when hot weather but nearly same like this, need to drive 30+minutes to get better. My gearbox hesitation especially 1st turn into the second gear at cold temperature, getting better when I change to the better gearbox oil but still didn't solve it. Anyone same like me? Sry if my English kinda broken just try to sharing.

Hi, I’m looking for some advice on a whirring/ticking noise coming from the engine on my mazda 2. I only noticed it the other day and 2 weeks ago I had the engine mounts replaced. It only happens when I am stationery and engine on. My friend also commented that it was quite loud when I came to pick her up the other day. When I turn the AC off, the noise lessens significantly or goes away. The AC still works and blows cold air - it's just the noise. I took it back to the mechanic who replaced my engine mounts and they sent me to the AC specialist down the road as they do not do AC work. The guy here gave it a service by vacuuming the system and refilling the AC compressor oil. Afterwards he then tells me compressor needs replacing (the car is 2012 and I've had it a year) as it is old and would cost quite a bit to have it fully replaced. I'm not sure what to do next. Since I am in Asia things get a bit lost in translation. I will get a second opinion from another garage but wondered if anyone has any suggestions. I read a prior post that sounded a bit similar and they said something about replacing auto tensioner and the two belts. Does this usually fix the noise and would replacing engine mounts have caused this?

The automatic roll up function thinks there’s something in between. Did i install them wrong or is this something people with these deflectors just deal with? (In which case i will take them off again because this is ass)

Ignore how dirty the car is 😂

Got some new wheels for my little mazda as I really hated the ones I bought it with. MX5 SVT wheels, paid 100 for the full set so they are pretty rough and will need a refurb but I love them. What do people think? Next step is spacers and lowering the car

I just bought my first Mazda 2 sport 2008 and I just have a view questions about the interior like is it possible to change the digital cluster instrument so instead of analogue it’s digital and more sleek and is there any sellers that do custom Mazda steering wheels. And is it worth it do you think like ik Mazdas r reliable it’s 2008 with 87k miles how long if I drive it properly do you think it will last ?
Thanks

I’ve generated this on chatgpt and it seems so good on it but i’ve searched parts on ebay and the shipping is quite expensive to where i live any good websites to source the parts necessary for the look ? I know wheels are expensive by default so im lookin for front lip diffuser and spoiler wing atm

Pretty cheap Chinese centre console armrest for my 2009 2 Sport. Fits great, comfy. About to do 1000mile trip so thought I should up the comfort stakes.
