    Weight of OEM 18x7" wheels?

    I saw on another forum that they are around 26.8 lbs. I can't substantiate it, but it's not too surprising for an OEM 18. Source: http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/2014-mazda-3-skyactiv-wheels-tires/45193-oem-wheel-weight.html Sorry I know the post is old but thought it was worth giving it...

    Dynotronics offering tuning for Mazda3 Skyactiv 2.0 and 2.5 engines

    I'll email Joe at DPTune and see what he has to say. My experience with Dynotronics on my '99 Miata was terrible. They claimed 12whp gain; I gained 3. $600. Oh, and my car ran 15:1 AFR at full throttle, at 5,000rpm. Good thing I measured. That ECU is sitting in my closet and my Dynotronics...

    2008 2.3L Manual Transmission - Jerky at low RPM/low gear

    Hey everyone, As the title says, for the last week or so, my 3 has seemed especially jerky at low RPM, in 1st and 2nd gear. This is always an issue with a manual transmission (driveline slop as the engine changes between pushing and pulling on the transmission); but mine seems to have suddenly...

    Dealer installed hitch - hack-job on the bumper notch

    It's actually stolen straight from the MazdaUSA CX-5 accessories page: http://accessories.mazdausa.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=24601&categoryId=16056&parent_category_rn=16045&yearSelected=2014&modelSelected=vc254&modelName=2014+CX-5#16081 If you go to...

    Dealer installed hitch - hack-job on the bumper notch

    It is supposed to be cut; however, not the way that it was. CDub, here's the instructions they were supposed to follow: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-24809172479195/cx5trailerhitch.pdf (got it from this site: http://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda-cx5-trailer-hitch.html) Also, look at the...

    2014 CX-5 listed for sale in NJ

    Thanks for posting! I just got an email from my dealer, saying that he should have them in mid-late February. If his prices are right, then we can estimate the cost of the 2.5L Option. They are selling the Touring trim FWD for $25,465 (lowest price on the site for this trim) with the 2.5L...

    Installed my Hypertech Tuner; Results! (2008 Mazda 3 s 5-speed)

    No, it doesn't; it allows engine re-tune (for premium or regular fuel; mine is on the premium setting right now), Rev Limit adjustment (up or down up to 500rpm, in 100rpm steps), and maximum speed adjustment (or deletion). It might let you adjust the engine idle speed as well, I can't remember.

    Installed my Hypertech Tuner; Results! (2008 Mazda 3 s 5-speed)

    Hey everyone, As the title says, I got a Hypertech Tuner for my Mazda 3. I've seen people making decent gains with them and found one used for $235; so I went for it! Otherwise my car is stock. I took the snorkel off of my air box for a bit more noise but I wasn't able to measure any...

    Help! What screws are these?

    Thanks Sunrun! I got it off; put it down on a towel in my yard, and stepped on the back of the bumper. When I put all of my weight down on it, it popped back out, with a satisfying "thunk". Can't even tell it was damaged! I'll post pics of it when it stops raining and once I've cleaned it up...

    Help! What screws are these?

    NEARLY got the bumper off yesterday. I could not seem to find two of the 4 screws that hold the bumper on on the top. I think it was just these little rubber mounts that the hood sits on that were keeping me from getting it off; but I couldn't figure out how to remove them. Anyway, I'm going...

    Help! What screws are these?

    I thought I would post this here because it's semi-appearance related; I lost these two screws today that hold my front bumper to my front splash guard (on my 2008 mazda 3s hatch) (one is missing in this other person's pic): I hit a cute little cocker spaniel on my way home from work :( I...

    Mazda 3 GX 2007 clutch problems

    Can you feel any vibration? Or just hear it? Also, lol @ the dealer saying "Just don't shift or run the car under 3k anymore."

    New Bose Stereo Problems

    me too :( I have the same issue. It annoys the crap outta me, when I'm just cruising along and the sound pretty much disappears. I'll go call that number, hopefully there'll be a fix for this soon. Maybe I'll call my dealer as well...idk, he's kind of a tool and will probably try to convince...
