  B230FT oversized piston options

  By M@B

  Looking to see if anyone has any advice on oversize pistons. Getting my block bored to get rid of damage from a blown head gasket and was looking at the 0.6mm oversized mahle pistons. But can’t find many specs on them. I’m probably only looking at making 250-300hp in the foreseeable future, will these be ok and have some safety margin? It seems a little excessive to go forged, which if I did that it seems like I should update the rods as-well. Anyone have some advice that would help me out?

  89 240 Compressor removal

  By nel621

  Getting ready to remove old compressor, clutch locked up and took out the PS belt. Got the PS pump for the most part loose. The bolt holding the tensioner I think it stripped, only spins, doesn't come out. I wanted to remove to remove the entire set up. For a second I thought there was nut on the back ,but no. I'll figure something out. How best to remove the compressor? From the top, bottom? Any short cuts? No freon in system. Thanks

  Seats not going down on exit

  By richardshirley1@

  The seats on my 2026 Air Pure use to go all the way down and back when I exited the car. Now they suddenly won't - they just go part way. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried all the Gemini suggestions to no avail. This is one of my favorite features of the air as without it, I'm constantly hitting my head getting in and out. In fact, I wish they'd support this feature for the passenger seat.

  New CX-5 Carbon Edition owner

  By teddymac

  Hello, after many years messing with/modifying a manual trans Honda CR-V, and many more years messing with and modifying a manual trans Audi A4, I was looking for a new/reliable car. I had so much trouble finding anything manual/awd, I switched to looking for anything with a real automatic (non-CVT). I completely bypassed mazda, assuming that the offerings were CVT, slow and boring. Eventually I did a little research, and realized it was quite the opposite! These cars are actually pretty...

  B21ft oil->water cooled turbo oil return pipe

  By Docsmitty

  Was putting the turbo back on the block and ran into an issue with the oil return pipe. With the manifold on the studs, it’s about an inch off from the oil return hole, towards the rear of the car and slightly up. Does the water cooled turbo need a different oil return feed than the oil cooled?

  Lowered CX-5 and there’s still a gap

  By hoey1985

  I just lowered my cx5 with corksport springs and was noticing a gap still. I believe i could squeeze 245/55's on stock 19" wheel and be fine. If not, i'll do 235/55's. Has anyone on here done the same while lowered? If so, please post pictures. Thanks in advance
