I'm actually using an ebay cai (wrapped in dei heat ins. wrap) and was lucky enough for the aem air straightener to fit perfectly. I also have the problem of the idle stumbling when I fill up which leads me to belive it's the purge valve. I have no choice but to replace the O2 due to the damage...

Stupid question and saga continued. In chasing down elusive and infuriating check engine codes, I ordered an upstream o2 from onlinemazdaparts.com. The problem was that apparantly the factory o2 has fused itself to the factory j-pipe and all the o2 sockets did was start to round off the o2...

Mazda meet at OCC Time off from work requested. Looks like i'm in.

Got this via facebook. Take Special note of June 5. http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/events/index.cfm That would be an 11 hour haul for me....and i'm seriously considering it!!

Wrecked cx-7 Ditto. Please keep me informed

Tailpipe cleaning I have a old can of turtle wax chrome polish that even 30 years later, still works wonders...

intercooler fan I would have to snicker at the computer fans as well but the meth injection sounds like a good idea. A good 1500 cfm fan runs for about $150..and the injection kits arent THAT much more. Hmmmm...time for a little more research.

TCS switch I found a listing on ebay for basically a relay that plugs in between the tcs plug and the switch. It sets the TCS to off by default so you have to push the switch to turn on the TCS. But...as is the story of my life....I can't find it now. I'll post the link if I can find it. The...

So it's a well-known fact that Mazda was taking a hit off of Subaru's crack pipe when they decided to mount an intercooler on top of a heat source. Until someone comes up with a commercially viable front mount intercooler kit, we are stuck with trying to improve the efficiency of what we have...

Auto up I generally dont disconnect the battery unless there is an amp or cap involved but anyway....that fixed it. Thank you for your help.

I recently installed a set of tweeters in the doors. The install was typical and uneventful. While I made sure the power windows worked before I buttoned things up, the auto-up/down does no longer works. Any thoughts? Is there a particular order the power connections have to be made? Do I have...

Cx-7 I was under the impression the only differences between the MS motors and the CX-7's were that the inlet to the turbo on the cx was reduced a little. Well, that and the obvious ecu differences. I'm glad this thread was started as I myself thought about making a cx-7 into a kind of poor...

Knoxville I'm in Knoxville and reeeeeeaaallll close to the dragon...aka my sanity drive (screwy)

Stereo Question Very cool. Thanks for the replies. My install kit and harness should be here in the next day or so. Sounds like i'm gonna spend a few hours in the garage this weekend...and you know I hate that (naughty)

I know the cx-7's use the 6x8/5x7 drivers for the doors. Out of curiousity, is there anything to keep me from enlarging the hole to accomodate 6x9's? I realize depth can be an issue and there really isn't THAT much of a difference between 5x7 and 6x9's. I was really just curious. Also....where...
