If you remove the plastic under-tray the oil change is very simple and straight forward. The key is having all the correct tools to do it. Now because it's not as simple as reaching under your car and removing the oil filter, I would recommend you do this in the confines of a garage not out in...

Nice choice! *edit* I'm assuming you have OEM tires?

Staples187, your specs are incorrect. What you posted are the original "estimated" specs when Dodge decided to mention they will build the SRT-4 Caliber. The lastest posted specs by Dodge are HP = 280 and Torque 260. Regardless, with the SRT-4 Caliber having only 17HP more than the MS3 and...

Bla bla bla. For the most part are all Dodge vehicles in the Ugly class? Definitely! Will the bottom line $20K SRT-4 Caliber have an interior made from a recycled coaster? They all will. The AWD Caliber they currently offer has an odd interior and if you ever compared a Neon SXT with a Neon...

The rear mount/bolt is not what breaks, it's the side mount located under the battery. Currently there's no aftermarket side mount available from anyone. Does replacing the rear mount help, maybe so.

I think I brained my damage... *Edit* I'm not quite getting the whole get rid of the MS3 payment but purchase a 240, do an SR20 swap etc. Correct me if I'm wrong but how do you plan on saving money taking that route? They require LOTS of maintenance as a few already mentioned. A buddy of mine...

Well to balance them, I have no choice but to take it to the dealer or tire & wheel shop. Personally if I need new tires or balance, I go to a well established business that deals with custom wheels on a daily basis and has the know how to speed balance a wheel, not put those ugly weights on the...

They? The only time my car goes to the dealer is if something breaks, period. I'm a little OCD so somethings are better if I do them myself and I know it was done correctly. I rotate my own tires and torque them etc. Yes, I know rotating the tires are a simple job, but the time it takes me to...

+1. Also now-a-days it's worth spending the money for a torque wrench because just about everything on newer cars has a torque specification. I have three myself for light, medium and heavy torques etc. Mine are all Craftsman and what's nice in addition to the "if it breaks, we replace it"...

As far as lemon law, it's not my field of expertise however, I do believe in order to "qualify" as a lemon, the issue with a car must take place three times WITHOUT the ability to be fixed before it's a lemon. It very well may differ from state to state but I'm not sure. I would do a search on...

EXACTLY!!! I have read close to a dozen different incidents on this forum and others and if it's not reported to the NHTSA, NOTHING will happen or it will prolong it for sure. If this has happend to you, go to the NHTSA Website and report it. It takes all of five minutes. Even if you caught...

+1! Hey Boost Driven, I don't know who told you the AUX input was disabled but they are completely wrong. I have a MS3 GT and the one in the center console works great for me. What exactly are you trying to do, connect an MP3 player? Mine works...

What's designed poorly, the Mazdaspeed CAI? I'm not sure where you received that information from, but so far all the currently available Cold Air Intakes are yeilding the same gains. Average is ~25HP & 25 - 30 ft/lbs of torque. *Edit* Additionally the Mazdaspeed CAI is a little different in...

Noted! It appears to be a really nice piece and I have yet to hear anyone complain about any of there mounts.
