    Can you describe what type of noise you are hearing?

    Is it coming from under the car or in the engine bay?

    Did anything out of the ordinary happen just before it started?

    Sit down, have a non alcoholic drink (i dont think anything alcoholic will help) then when you have calmed down, give some more and better info and we'll see what we can help with.

    Just taking off at a set of lights and a reli loud rubbing sound came from the front left under the car. I checked to see if the tyre was rubing and nothing seems out of the ordinary

    It was kinda of a groaning sound

    Is the plastic undertray all secured and fixed properly? I had an issue once where it wasn't secured properly and it started dragging on a freeway on the road with a horrible noise.

    *EDIT*

    I doubt my suggestion for the undertray would be described as a groaning sound.

    Really** Rubbing** Please don't use SMS spelling or I may lack the ****s to give...


    I have had my GEN2 for only 7 months (5050KM travelled) and I have not heard any rubbing sound. Best bet, take it to Mazda and get them to identify the issue.

    Go through it logically.

    Does it happen at idle?
    Does it happen when you brake?
    Does it happen at a certain speed?
    Does it happen when you've... done something... Non prescription based?
    Can you smell anything odd, apart from the previous question?
    Do you have any engine lights up on your dash?

    If your worried about it tonight, call your local assistance club like RACQ, RACV, where ever you are.

    It could be road trash stuck up inside your wheel well, or someone's cat.

    The other thing, check your brakes, sometimes may be something stuck between pads and rotors. It usually does not give a groaning sound but its easy to check.

    Find out which one Tranny mount, Rear mount or Drivers mount?? That could have done more damage than you would expect
