Thanks Will! Anyone have an idea on TPMS?

Hey, some more silly questions, lol 1) Are the keys definitely chipped in this car? I can't quite tell from looking at the keys? 2) How can I tell if the car has TPMS? It's not clear to me?

Just wondering how your paint has held up, vote and post up your year, climate (snow, no snow, etc), and a description of your paint!

Gotcha, I will look into that. I wonder why the engineers did not do a spin on style filter for the 2.3l? I pretty much use Mobil 1 all around (oil and filters) with good results. I have heard good things about WIX filters, though. I was more concerned with filter volume (is the compatible spin...

Thanks Will! I will give Mazda a call on the trim level. I'm a nissan guy so I'm learning my way around. A follow up on the flyin miata adapter, do you ever use those in between the car and the jackstand or only for the jack to get the car off the ground? Thanks for the welcome! I'm sure I'll...

Hello! Just picked up an '05 3 hatch. Look forward to getting it on the road. I did have a few quick questions and figured I'd make one thread instead of litter the forums with multiple threads: 1) How can I tell what trim level this car is? It has sunroof, 5spd, CD changer, cloth seats, manual...
