thanks for all the info man, really appreciate it. i also come from the BMW world of MHD , burger jb4 tunes. if you can, can you please make a 0-60 or 80 vid of the cluster to see how the power band is over our dead 4k+ haha.Went out for some 0-60 runs after fixing the user error on the JB4. 7.8 seconds stock on map0. Map2 was a bit faster

Sure. Don’t know exactly when I can do that, but I’ll try it. Have you seen the dyno run of a CX-9?thanks for all the info man, really appreciate it. i also come from the BMW world of MHD , burger jb4 tunes. if you can, can you please make a 0-60 or 80 vid of the cluster to see how the power band is over our dead 4k+ haha.
Thanks for the upload. I'll go check the Dyno also.Sure. Don’t know exactly when I can do that, but I’ll try it. Have you seen the dyno run of a CX-9?
Edit: had a chance this morning. Not ideal conditions as it was wet and it was a slight turn onto the road. No other cars there though so I thought I’d give it a go

It does! Tugs at the leash driving normally tooThanks for doing this
Does it feel noticeably faster on the butt dyno?
Nice! Any more 0-60 times done lately for consistency testing? 93 octane I assume..It does! Tugs at the leash driving normally too
Yeah. In the mornings, it’s 6.4 to 6.7. Afternoon it’s just under 7 usually unless it’s a triple digit day. Temps have been mid to high 70s in the morning and mid to high 90s in the afternoonNice! Any more 0-60 times done lately for consistency testing? 93 octane I assume..

You should install it. It would be really fast if you remove that plastic panel. Use a panel removal tool to pop it off.Have you noticed any weird behaviour from the car with the JB4? Stuff like weird transmission shifts, jerky acceleration, anything like that? It's been fairly quiet on the Mazda JB4 boards (which I view as a good thing).
I really need to install my JB4 already, lol.
When I just got the car, the first 4-6 months after it was broken in, the 0-60 times were between 6.9-7.1 consistently. Similar to the zeroto60times website and reported by other vehicle reviewers.Yeah. In the mornings, it’s 6.4 to 6.7. Afternoon it’s just under 7 usually unless it’s a triple digit day.

Took it in for an oil change at the dealer and they took it upon themselves to do an 'update' as the software was from the factory and already outdated.
As soon as I took the car out on the highway to get home it felt different (slower). I then ran the 0-60 tests again, keeping everything else consistent (same road, same temps, same gas etc) and the 0-60 times were now consistently 8.0-8.2 seconds. Important to note I'm not carrying extra Covid weight....
Asked the dealer, got a bunch of head scratching...... Been that way ever since.
Dooooo eeeet. Heck, give it to me then
Nice, beat me to it. I also want to do something like this but havent found the time.Added rear fogs. Need to wire up permanently, but here’s what they’ll look like:

When you remove the reflector, there is a hole in the bumper already. I used a Dremel engraving bit and enlarged that hole and then used the same bit to cut away the red plastic behind the opaque red reflective plastic in the same area as the bumper hole. Mounted a Diode Dynamics SSC1 flush mount in the flood pattern behind the bumper and reattached the reflector. Rigid Industries makes a similar light to the SSC1 that I have mounted as hatch lights. It is their flush mount backup light kit. Baja Designs has their flush mount S1s that would work. KC has their small Flex series although I’ve never seen them flush mounted so I don’t know if they can be. Generally speaking, Diode Dynamics has the best light output and are not as well known as the other companies so don’t cost as much. If you have particular loyalty to a brand though, those would be your optionsNice, beat me to it. I also want to do something like this but havent found the time.
What did you use and what was your procedure on doing everything if you dont mind me asking?
Did you just cut the factory reflector and add an LED strip?

They aren’t wired yet. Had a minute where I wasn’t working on house projects so went ahead and mounted them. I need to get it up in the air and run the wire to the front. They have a backlight and a main light. I already have my front fog lights tapped into DRLs for the backlight so I’ll piggyback off those for main beam and backlight. They’ll be controlled via the collar on the stalk just like the frontsHow did you wire it up, just tapped into parking lights?
That’s pretty awesome. I like lights so it’s intriguing to me. Haha. Please show the outcome. I’d really like to see how’s it looks.They aren’t wired yet.

Yep! Somewhere in my build thread I have pictures of the brackets I 3D printed to hold the DD SSC1 in an SAE fog light pattern.What did you do to the fog lights? Did you replace the whole thing with the diode dynamics pod?
