    Handling with 2nd & 3rd row removed?

    Need more space than just lowering all the seats flat? I can't imagine the handling with the seats out will be dangerous, might just feel a little light in the back. I would be more worried about handling with the back loaded with that much cargo...

    MP3 ECU Find

    It's not that bad. When I did it, I pulled the intake manifold, and I think I just removed the flaps. I might have left the shaft in the manifold to keep the ports plugged. If you remove the shaft, you'll just need to plug the port where the shaft comes through.

    MP3 ECU Find

    To benefit the engine better, pull the VTCS flaps (NOT the VICS flaps) from the intake manifold.

    I scored 80 points out of 100 (16/20 correct) That was fun, but I would have liked to see the correct answers at the bottom for the ones I got wrong.

    New Mazda Logo

    Forget the new logo, I would LOVE an EZ-6 with an electric drivetrain and rotary engine range extending generator.

    Mazdaspeed Protege Build - Feels Good To Be Back

    Fun tidbit, which I cannot find the reference anymore... Those AXR brackets were designed off the original Racing Beat sway bar brackets for the prototype MP3. During development, Racing Beat came to the conclusion that the sway bar mounting on the subframe wasn't suitable for the upgrade they...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    I just had my Mini Clubman totaled out, and I just renewed my insurance policy, too. I dropped collision coverage, and the new policy is half the cost it was before.

    Aftermarket Exhaust System options for 2010 CX-9?

    My wife's mufflers were fine too, with the exception of the flange connections to the y-pipe. All rusted up at the connection, and weren't coming apart without cutting. The replacements were cost effective enough to just buy the whole lot. Made installation much easier, since I didn't have to...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    It will have a salvage title, yes. But again, the car isn't worth all that much, despite what sentimental value it has for you. Insurance will total loss a car when the repairs value over 75% the value of the vehicle. At best, in excellent condition, the car is worth $2500. 75% of that value...
