Insurance company didn't want the garage to continue tearing down the motor and finding issues. A remanufactured engine is going in. Total cost is $5,200. Yes, I'm keeping the CAI, the Speed3 was always a summer, fair weather vehicle, this was one of those rare occasions that I wasn't driving...

Had to post this as some have said that hydrolock is not a concern with the Mazdaspeed CAI. For 5 years I've never had a problem. I can attest that water issues can arise. In Maine we've had some serious rain and flooding issues over the last couple of days. While driving home last night water...

I ordered mine from them back in August. $320 minus the $25 discount code. $295 shipped. And I received it only three days later. Best $295 I've ever spent.

I get a distinct "ringing" sound as well now when I go over bumps. Sounds like it's coming from both front wheels.

I tried to no avail. The wipers are now not working at all. The car's going in this week, It'll be taken care of, hopefully it doesn't rain on my way there!

I do let them do the maintenance. They are a client of mine and I haven't had to pay for anything, plus, warranty reasons as well.

Yesterday while driving, it was raining and my wipers had some hesitations while in motion. It went away, but now when they are off, they stay in the "up" position instead of down at the windshield base. Has anyone had this happen to them? Curious about this. I'm going to have the dealer check...

That's me. As you can tell, first time I've checked the regional forum in months.

My hesitation issue turned out to be an O2 sensor and MAF issue. Both were replaced under warranty.

Brought the car to the dealer. Had an ECU reflash, new O2 sensor, and MAF replaced under warranty.

It happens when either accelerating or cruising. It is less pronounced when accelerating if I roll into the throttle rather than floor it. My plugs are Iridium plugs, gapped at .32. This just starting happening and I've had the car for 2.5 years and it has 21,432 miles on it.

Well, I've changed the plugs, added the AEM Air Straightener, AND cleaned the MAF. The car is still doing the same thing. I guess it's to the dealership to see what the hell is wrong. HAS anyone had an issue like this?

I don's have an air straightener, after a year and a half with no problems, I didn't think it was a big deal, I have, though, been considering getting one. I'll check the plugs, I thought it might be that as these cars run rich as hell. Thanks Circle9!

Hello to all, I have a question to see if anyone else has experienced this. A week ago my car developed a stutter at 2500RPMs. The car has 20,000 miles and has always run fine. The stutter goes away at 3,000RPMs and up. I have an MS CAI that I installed a year and a half ago, that is the only...

Mine are Konig Runaways Shadow Black. 18x8 46 offset.
