Dont change the belt, why do you spend money? I did mine at 135k miles.
If you wanna change the belt, you should change: the tensioner, idler pulleys, serpentine belt tensioner bearings, thermostat, and top engine mount (if needed) on top of your list.
And if you order online keep in mind that the water pump doesnt come with the gasket (though the picture shows opposite).
Change p/s fluid with dexron 6.

The right speed + the right amount of brakes + crappy touring tires = 2 seconds of drift!!
But I caught the light

Mysteriously my passenger side lock/unlock switches are illuminated more than half of the time now. At first I though there was a car on my blind spot as I thought mazda stole those bulbs. In a second I figured out the switches were lit up. They are either on or off when I start the car, they never blinked yet. After 45k miles of ownership this is quiet a surprise.
I am excited to see milly started fixing itself.

MTS and BHR are brothers?? They dont look like each other

Yesterday I got 24.0 mpg (9.8L/100km) with the new tires, mixed driving. My fuel consumption might a lil lower but nothing visible.
The new tires are 5lbs lighter per tire than yokohamas. I feel like I am on the air.

I am between 20.5 to 24.5 depending on the conditions. I might get 25+ if I go to San Francisco or Vegas, straight roads. The speed limits here are high, 50-55 in city. So if I dont hit the lights I am always on 4th gear with TCC engaged.
-
damn....just goes to show that every degree counts. Did you see any reduction in MPG?
Nope. Still around 22.5

I replaced the tie rods and kept postponing the alignment for 2.5 months.I counted the turns between inner and outer tie rods and the car drivers perfectly straight. Even better than before. BUT guess what I saw today:
Inner side of the treads are gone!! Both sides.
Contemplating a new set of tires or putting them at the back for some more time..

Read the codes? (Dont tell me CEL is not on bla bla. If ABS light is on there should be codes)
-
Oh thats why your milly is not drivable in the rain..

Think of them as Obama and Bush. Looks different functions the same.
-
no millenia... or tow 6000lbs.
-
........
Are you a retarded asian black obama supporting hippie democrat? or just plain stupid. My millenia will NEVER leave my side for any reason.
Not even for a better designed 01?
-
Just got off the phone with them...still have it but have gotton a few calls....discussed prices and financing, which is horrible since I no longer finance cars. But at 118/month....thats damn tempting. do 60 months then once pick up just pay it off.
Then again working in finance I know thats what has caused problems with people before.
If you have problem paying you can always sell the black millenia for $7k and pay the gray one off..
-
They are in the winter position... lift up on yours and they will click into place like that too.
Arent they supposed to be straight with the arm? They are parallel to the hood line.
B, if one millenia has to look ugly (though I dont see any reason), you should put the black spoiler to the gray car. Then at least the better car wouldnt look ugly.
-
Is it this one? I'm also watching the Millenia market here in VA. A few lovelies do come though every now and then.
Whys that wiper blade sits 4inch above the hood line?

No spider webs. Millenia stays inside a car capsule, its positively pressurized and sealed. So even if there was an opening nothing would be able to crawl in from the force of air escaping.
And the oil from the air pump will be sucked into all little pieces of the car?
-
Yeah, alot of other companies have figured out how to make them and since oem hid's are now an option on many many cars there simply produced in bulk and made cheaper.
For the conversion you would need.
projectors
bulbs (capsules)
ballasts (2)
wiring harness powering ballasts DIRECTLY from battery and remote turn on lead into factory low beam +
Thats it.
Ballasts not included here right? Wires should be cheap. I assume we have to remove the front plastic to replace the lens? Darn too much work.. If only it was plug and play..
-
What exactly is needed for halogen to bixenon conversion? Projectors, the bulbs they sell on the same page for $90. What else? Ballast are included in the bulbs? They used to be pretty expensive..

I have the same nonsense pipe which just adds up weight.
Show us inside EGR. So we can tell what high octane can do for carbon build-up.

If I remember correctly Ren suggested changing it at 180k. The S belt is made of aramid fibers, same stuff used in bullet proof jackets. Its not a rubber band that will snap at 80k if not changed at 60k like toyota belts.
All millenia engines are non-interference. Notice the cavities on the piston:
My old belt (which was original) doesnt even have a hair crack on it and it looks brand new. I still have it. Same as the tensioner. Pulleys were not like that, they had resistance to rotate and were full of rust. The first thing to go bad there I think is the tensioner which has no change interval from mazda.
Thermostat is $5-6 from mazda and it is not hard/not expensive to change. You spent a small amount of money and omit the possibility of engine damage. Thermostat does go bad over time.
You can clean the pads/change brake fluid annually, it is nothing to do with timing belt job.
P/S fluid should be dex2 compatible according to the manual. Dex6 is dex2 compatible. You cant believe how light your steering will be. When I changed mine I thought the linkage to the wheels is disconnected.
