Here is a clip of what an all stock first gen (SA) is like. Stuart was well known on the forum and his pristine SA set a record when sold on BAT. He is now in a different world and missed by many.

There is a large community who are trying to keep old-tech RX-7s running. Only a very small percentage are all stock. Most first gens have gone through some sort of repair/upgrade/restomod. I am not sure if they will drive the same with new technology. Part of the appeal, for me at least, comes...

Haha not so fast... why would I replace the cabin air filter if there's no weird smell inside the cabin and I am not coughing or sneezing? 😂 *Back on his ignore list*

I kept thinking that folks with newer model cars are much younger than I am. All this talk about aftermarket hips helped correct my misconception. 🤦 Grease or no grease, it's wise to take good care of our Mazdas!

Good point. Op said the airbag module has to be removed so the safety system diagram might be relevant.

Here it doesn't say which part is CENTER 🙆 https://parts.mazdausa.com/a/Mazda__CX-5/__10823136/CONSOLE/AUKS08-5570A.html

Back in 2011 I considered putting H&R lowering springs on my 2009 Mazda5 Touring. That was after replacing the rear sway bar with a thick one from Cobb Tuning, which substantially reduced the bodyroll. In your case, is it mainly for the looks? And how much drop do the coilovers give? I had...

For the CX-3, I route the charger-connector wire from a gap in the plastic trim piece and let the end sit next to the base of the wiper arm. For the R56, the battery sits right in front of the cabin air filter port so I push down the filter a bit to route the wire into the cabin.

The low output of the panel and tint on the windshield may have contributed to the low charge in my case. 😭

By ring connectors I mean something like this. I also use the quick-disconnect (green) on the car that I am working on. It's easier to twist off the green knob than taking the whole terminal connector off.

I use this for two cars that are not driven regularly https://a.co/d/fWc2Zx0 Most of chargers come with ring connectors (in addition to the black/red jaws/clamps) that you can connect to the battery terminals and just leave them there. That way you can connect and disconnect the charger without...

😂😂 Let me try to grow a pair today before bringing it up to him.

He is informative and helpful. Maybe "haha" after every sentence will offset the effect of the old school headmaster tone.

Not you. Happy tho that you changed your mind about spark plugs. 😁

May I ask what the current status is with the ignore/block feature? I am new here and have learned a lot from the questions and answers. However, I found that the tone of any discussion can change for the worse by someone who has to have the last word. I feel a block would be mutually...
