| Post subject: | Exhaust / Induction kit rattle? |
When I push the car hard and have my foot on the ground (which frequently happens  ) I get a metaly type rattle between 3000 - 4000 rpm. I think I read on the old Mazda site that there was a type of bracket on the exhaust that can work loose. Does anyone have any suggestions?
It might also possibly be the induction kit. It is made by Ractive and I haven't seen any other cars on the site with one like it...Does anyone know what they are like or should I just ditch it? |

If it happens in every gear, and only when you put your foot down, it might be the same as i'm getting, which sounds like 'pinking' or pre ignition (does sound like a metalic rattle). If this is the case, then the timeing needs adjusting, have you changed fuel type or octane recently? |

Thats the sound - a metallic rattle. \over the past week or two it seems to have died off though :P |

I just got it sorted. I gave my air filter in the air induction a good clean with a toothbrush and then used the air at a garage to low out most of the dust. She is flying now! |
