can use WD-40 to reduce the disc brake rust?

putting lube fluid onto brakes (itself a friction item) is suicide.

No, it is not a good idea, never put lubricant onto the disc brakes!

It may help with the rust, but your brakes is the one that stop your car. WD-40 is also a lubricant.

Leave the brakes be.

i saw the rust came out from the front ventilated disc brakes' core element, WD-40 can remove the rust, but not apply on the surface of disc brakes

anyone know how to trigger the car alarm with the car remote key like a panic button???

no, mazda 2 doesn't come with a panic button on the remote key

Nope don't have sound coming from there. I have sound from the front ceiling part of the car, near where the lights are. It vibrates when I go thru bumps, but when I hold it firm the sound is gone. So I'm gonna ask SC to see if they have a solution for me.

I remember someone also mentioned "tick tick" sound from odometer. I don't have that.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Mine is M2 HB soul red, received on 30/3 😄

Nope, didn have that noise. but hv tick-tack sound from the odometer 5 secs after engine ignition.. this is the relay sound, so can't do anything about it.

To those who have rusty brakes... Apparently there are brake rotor paints...

By the way, normally, rust only gets built up on the rotor surface when the car is not used for a whole day or 2 as your brake pad would remove the rusts for you unless you don't use the brakes. On the sides is normal but shouldn't occur so soon. Suggest to seek advice from SC 1st since still under warranty.

SC will most probably advise you it is normal to rust. Also, the disc rotors will be changed when the brake pads changed 2 to 3 times due to the thinning of brake rotors.

You get it sprayed, and later change rotor, rust again, spray again?

It has been discussed a lot already. If you need a family car Honda City is ur car, if you want sportiness, M2 is ur car, if you want empty value for money den Almera is ur car, if you are Toyota fan boy den Vios is God car.


I usually just change the rotor as it can last about 2-3 years for me.

how are all your driving experiences with the car? I've recently did a drive on a mountain road near hulu Langat. it is a blast to drive...literally horse and rider as one. share your experiences here
later might want to change the rims to wider ones then do touge drive

hey ya...is me!! the tic tac sound until today i also dont know where it come from. when u start car after 5- 10 sec it gonna happen and the latest one when i pass by bump the sound will come out again.. pening lo...

drove to Ipoh n back to KL over the weekend. Felts really nice driving long distance.

Last weekend went to KL. Very save fuel vehicle... i use about 60 ringgit from pg-->kl-->pg .. Still remember my Myvi have to use about Rm100 for 2 way. and the driving experience awesome.. Just the wind noise very noisy when it reach the speed of 140-150.. but i believe this can be improve by installing sound proof.. i very delight with this car CHEER~~..

What's ur speed at 2k rpm?

Mine was 90km/h. Wouldn't buldge from there. Need roughly 2.2k rpm to reach 110km/h...

I found my Red Sedan is quite easy get stone chip even when driving in low speed. Any suggestion?

last Monday i was going home from office, raining, no street lights(maybe down due to lighting strike), speed about 90-100km/h, the motorcycle in front on the left lane suddenly cut out immediately after giving out signal , i am able to brake & avoid the motorcycle by going right lane without losing control...
totally impressed with the car, literally horse and rider as one
