Thanks foremost for letting me be a part of what I believe is an exceptionally informative, yet sometimes highly intertaining car enthusiusts forum...
My 8 was built Sept. 03 according to the sticker and only once did I take it back to get the M flash and overall checkup in the latter part of 04. Since then I, myself changed the the gear and trans fluid with Royals Max gear and Synchromax lubes and the motor oil changes with castrols gtx 5/20.
To make this short, I called to submit my car with the dealer Munday Mazda,Houston, the one I bought it from, for recalls I received through the mail(upper ball joint, gas tank check. The car has only 11700 and isn't a daily driver and is mostly in the garage due to my work type and schedule(sucks)... so,( help me be the aggressive and tell me when I bring it in the other things I would tell the service Dept. to do which is just as important other than what was sent to me. I know I may get a whip lashing from Mugatu, but from expierence of the ones thats gone through the process I would feel much better if I had some (do's ) to go by....
P.S. brake dust, # 1
Thanks in advance for your welcomed help....

 

i would use the phrase "i had a hard start" see where that leads you.

Check your headlights for a film on the inside. Get the dealer to replace them if its there since it will only get worse.

Also check for rust on your wheel hubs.
