Join me as I document my automotive exploits and share them with the world!
I hope to relay some knowledge, learn a bit myself, and befriend other enthusiasts. If I'm fortunate enough, having this channel will present me with even more opportunities to have fun with cars. Being a Mazda enthusiast, much of my content will feature vehicles and events that wear the flying M, including my own turbo Protege.

In reality, there is a raised lip on the drum, therefore adjustment is necessary once the drum is installed through the back of the drum, via rubber grommet.😂
Pcv location please
Have you done a pvc valve change video on this yet? Please
Thank you
Bro, do you have any email . I own a mazda 2 2008 DE, inside intake manifold there are 4 blades, one of them (cylinder 4) is missing, can I get off the other 3 blades without getting secondary effect ?
Common issue is deterioration of the engine mounts that cause that noise, especially the top RH engine mounting.
@@BoerVanPretoria This is about the engine itself running rough. Not feeling engine vibration in the cabin. People conflate the two all the time. You can have perfectly good engine mounts and the car still run poorly.
bro, is it still working fine?
I don’t own the car anymore. Worked great while I had it.
Arent the rear reflectors required by Law? I had a KTM Enduro and it was required to add (the smallest reflector) to be legal (UK)
Not where I live. We don’t have vehicle inspections and little things like that don’t really matter to the authorities here.
Idk if it’s because i have projector lights but i cannot for the life of me get my hands in between the light and the chassis. Quite annoying to say the least.
what size did you get, it doesn’t say size H4
I’m sure I show the box and/or say it in the video. This was a long time ago.
Is the dog bone mount causes vibration?
A little bit, depending on what stiffness you get.
Still super helpful in 2024, had to open up my key to check which type I needed for a replacement. No BS, just easy instructions and straight to the point. Thank you!
i want to thank you a lot ! i was looking for another car because i want to sleep in my car during my roadtrips ... but now i can keep my little babe (Mazda 2 1.3 84 HP 2012). i just hope that my 6'2" will fit in to sleep ... This car is so fucking underrated! hopefully for us
Hey, whats the solution for the steering wheel clunking?
Hey sir, i notice there's a knock feeling in my steering wheel, i checked the suspension and its ok , any ideas what it could be?
Thank you sir. I was thinking wtf is this now, it works
is this safe to do
I don’t own it anymore but the car is still in the road. Nothing bad happened.
@@HiroshimaSpirit o ok was thinking about doing it
Is it legal to black out the reflectors on my Mazda 2 Sport Hatchback in Florida?
I live in Florida and was never bothered by it.
No knowledge cost me a price of new main switch on my 2014mazda 3. I disconnect it every thing when changing window regulator assembly. When put everything back together the auto switch stopped working. Than I went deeper into the main switch assembly and broke something under it. God thanks for KZread and people like you that take an effort to post it for others. Cheer's 🍺
Bro, I installed rear lowering spring Megan racing... but I installed them upside down if I compare how you have nstalled yours..... does it affect the height of suspension or it is the same ?
Probably doesn’t matter
Can you do a video of a car having the weird noise in the belt?
Γάμο τον Χριστό σας στο you tube με της διαφήμισης το μουνι που σας πέταγε
Thanks for this video. In my Mazda 3 they used to same clip method holding in the light bulb which is as you say ridiculous so hard to put in a new bulb in a tight space.. I might be purchasing a Mazda 2 So your videos are coming in handy Thanks
Where did you get those headlamps?
Look at my other videos.
Got my son's Mazda 2 rear shoes to do this weekend, and was wondering if they were screw back calipers with the 'Ford connection' but happy to see they are drum. I use a manual (Hammer powered) impact driver for those screws but do make sure its the correct size bit, snug fit! if you don't have an impact driver, sometimes a 'clump' on the end of a big posi screwdriver can just loosen the rust. Otherwise, as Josh says, drill a divet and whack it, preferably with a punch. I always refit the screws, just tight enough (with a dab of copper grease, as it's high temp), that way the drum is held so I can accurately adjust the shoes. Some drums have a hole in them and a corresponding one in the hub, so you can adjust the brakes with a flat blade screwdriver, for which you need the drum secure. I also use high temp grease, if i lubricate the brake shoe to backplate area, just any old grease won't do as it might run off.. Brake grease is ptfe based
Thank you so much !
thought i was gonna have to get an entirely new key! thank you for this video!!!
for some reason, the two pieces aren’t separating son matter how hard i press down with my flat head screwdriver :(
I miss this car. I accidently put diesel in it and broke it
What are your alignment specs?
8:39 😂
what do u mean with the roof?
Thanks!! Just done this on my cx30 and worked a treat!!
Do you have a link for the parts?
just quietly getting on with business. my defender is now my leisure / tow vehicle. p.s my kia soul a 2012. had considered many alternatives in previous years should a family change occur and didnt want to lose the landy. the soul earns its keep in its savings and accessability.
getting a clicking noise coming from my driver side door switch. anyone know what this is ? (the switch works but sounds like the window switch keeps clicking )
Wait till you have to change the catalytic converter, total nightmare…
Very clear
does anyone know where i can buy this bag full of these tools online? the prev owner didnt have one
lol previous owner didnt even provide this tool bag
How about for the Mazda 2 third generation? Same recommendation ?
Sure. Similar car, similar strategy.
Ive got a question about the mazda 2, is it possible to swap the 1.3 petrol to a 1.5 from the sport? Same block so id imagine it would drop in. Anything different about the sport and the standard such as exhaust etc? Appreciate any information.
Theoretically yes, but I live in a country that only got 1.5 engines, so a swap isn’t really documented anywhere.
@@HiroshimaSpirit Hey thanks for the speedy info, that's great to hear, I'll probably talk to my mechanic about it and let him have a quick look before I buy an engine. Thanks a lot.
All i wanted to know,thank you for your help with this video ❤
#Super clean
10mn
Great I've been looking for the place to put the tow hook just incase I get bogged down on my lane tomorrow so I might fit it before attempting to get out😂
Thank you for the video. How do you change the lightbulb underneath the amber part? I also got a 2008 Mazda2 with 180.000 km on the odometer, and that light just went out, and I can not pull out the hard to reach plug. Thank you!
Hi! I recently replaced my filter and found a lot of leaves / stuff in (what I think is) the radiator behind the filters. Any idea what I can do to best clean it up? I figure getting in there with an old toothbrush and a vacuum would be enough.
That’s perfectly fine
The car looks good bro as a fellow protege owner i admire your build progress
Thank you for this. Really worked
unprepared and uninformed
Make a better video, cuck.
