    Highway Paint Horror

    Power door lock problem. Mazda 3/5door

    A few weeks ago my key fob stopped opening my drivers door on my 2004 3/5door. It locked it, it opened all of the other doors. Just not the drivers door. I took it to Mazda. They replaced the switch/actuator and it worked half the time. They traced the problem to the fuse box. It took them 9...

    Back Seat Sub

    Hello all, I am looking at a Kenwood KSC-SW1 Hide away powered sub to put under the back seat of my 5door. Can anyone tell me if the back seat comes up AND how much room is under there? I plan on also going with an Alpine reference 4x40 amp with 5x7 in the doors and alpine tweeters in the A...

    The front seats suck

    Does the mazda 6 seat fit in the 3? If I drive more than an hour my back is killing me. I have tried the lumbar in all positions and I just can't seem to make it work for me. I knew the seats weren't GREAT when I bought the car. I would have put them with my SER in initial comfort. But now that...

    Amp and speakers for 5 door?

    That looks like a very plausable option. Tell me, is there room under the back seats for this? Ant suggestions for a front door/ A pillar tweeter combo that you would suggest. Also an amp that could handle all of this. I am not looking to kill my hearing any more than it already is. I just want...

    Amp and speakers for 5 door?

    I love the radio and CD player BUT the speakers suck! I would like to replace the tweeters and the front speakers and also would like to see where I can stuff a couple of small subs. I am not into the boomy bass. I just want it to sound right and I don/can't use any sub boxes. I am thinking a...

    Jumpy acceleration?

    I have a 2004 5 door with a 5 speed. There are less than 2k on it (I bought it in February new left over stock) I notice that on a hill as I wind the engine out in 2nd and 3rd gear there is a slight hesitation at about 4,000 rpm and if I really wind it out there is another hesitation at about...
