Brat Wheel Bearing 1 or 2?
Bearings are pretty simple though time consuming.. Once the knuckle is out it takes about 15-20minutes per knuckle. I use a piece of threaded iron pipe to tap them in.. and finish make sure they are seated with a piece of brass rod and a hammer.

Mazda Wheels, Now What?
If you have a spare hub knock two studs out and mount up just for a look. I dont see why you couldn't put it on the ground so long as you don't drive it. I don't think the hubs would be very expensive at PAP.

Project EJ Hatch
I hope that it is just the angle but it looks like there is no spacer/ stereo adapter in there which on most decks is necessary for the newer deeper radios. On another note your hatch looks freaking sweet!! I am jealous though I think I am done daydreaming about going lifted...Maybe. Mike

New wheels: with new pics
Even after your trimming I would avoid hard cornering.. your suspension will compress to do some serious rubbing and or cutting on your tires.

It probably sounds better inside than out...Most systems do. I really do like a good system ask Turbone. And I wasn't in my Roo. Mike

GL headlights
No need to rewire the car immediately.. I would tap the headlight circuit with new relays and quick fix(spade terminal) the headlights and see if that solves the problem.. You could also as a check and see hot wire the lights to the battery to do it even quicker.. If the lights are brighter then your wires are old and gaining resistance with age and should be replaced with something heavier duty.ie if they are running 14 awg replace with 10-12 awg. It is a simple process its the darn relays that kick my butt.

replaced stereo now no dash lights??????
Tapping for power is ok. The Factory ground I do not trust with newer more powerful radios. I grounded mine to the metal bracket that the lower dash console is secured to.. I also ran a fused 14 AWG primary wire from the battery to make sure I wasn't going to cook anything.. That is the wire that powers your deck, the accessory wire is just a signal that tells the radio to turn on and doesn't draw much power. Mike

Thunking on passenger side when making right turn
I would start with that axle.. and get a new roll pin. Other possible causes something isn't tight check everything. Bad Ball joint , bearings going out ( they usually grind not clunk). Mike

The answer is too often the same - "EJ it"
Not especially. They still have their quirks though not as problematic.. I can't say I will never own a turbo car but it is highly unlikely. With my mechanical skills ( HA!) it would spend more time @ Qman's or Turbone's house getting fixed.. I don't have the money to reimburse them for their time.. God know's I have done that all too often. Mike
