My car was having some issues recently where the steering wheel started vibrating at about 60mph. It also was pulling slightly to the left on the highway. I thought there may be a balancing and alignment problem so I brought it to NTB to get the tires rotated, balanced and aligned. After I got...

Painted my calipers. Not perfect but looks better than before. Untitled by leight0nn, on Flickr Untitled by leight0nn, on Flickr

Are you willing to sell the TPMS separately? If so, can you post some pics please. I'm interested in buying a set of four.

I agree. My tail lights are also blacked out and I'm planning on getting blacked out emblems to blend with the overall look.

I'm in. Last summer was good but I hope it's not too hot this time :)

ecniemann and knokout5 thanks for the advice! Waiting on some good weather in the midwest to get them painted.

I just bought the G2 caliper paint kit too. N00b question - What kind of tools did you use to remove the wheels and paint the calipers? I'm guessing some type of jack and stands? I haven't removed my tires since I bought my MS3 so I haven't gotten any tools apart from the standard scissor jack...

I tried it again and it worked! Looks like I hit the id10t error. The power gains were immediately noticeable. I've never really driven the car hard before but I can feel the power in the lower gears plus now 5th is a little scary (for me anyway). Took it out for a quick test and I'm sold! Sorry...

My hypertech arrived today. Tried to tune but it's reporting a 'code 83 internal error'. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to call tech support :(

Just ordered mine from streetsideauto.com for $322.95 + free shipping. Thanks to the rude customer service rep at truckaddons.com for making me find a better retailer :)

I have started to notice this problem too. It started off very subtle but it's gotten extremely annoying. I'll try the butyl fix to see if that helps.

Ever since I bought my car a few months ago I noticed that the TPMS light would intermittently flash and stay on. I took it to the dealer and they told me that there were no sensors on the tires (aftermarket). However, yesterday I took it in to have the wheels balanced and rotated. When I got...

Thanks for the link lyonsroar! I think I got my answer.

While reversing out of my garage, I accidentally damaged the driver side mirror on my wife's 2010 CX-9 (whistle). The mirror glass itself is fine, it's just the plastic housing part that's damaged. Do I have to replace the entire mirror assembly or can I just get the plastic part replaced...

I noticed that ever since the temperatures have dropped below freezing I have been experiencing difficulty getting the MS3 in gear. When I try to put it in reverse it takes several tries before it finally succeeds. Is this normal for the cold weather? Also my brakes tend to squeak a lot now...

Installed the CP-e Xcel Nano SRI. Install was my first real mod (after the Forge v1 BPV) so it was'nt 100% trouble free. Good thing the forums exist with a lot of helpful information (and pics). I can definitely feel the difference in power. Plus I can now hear the turbo spooling and BPV is...

Installed Forge v1 BPV.

Got my turbo replaced at the dealership. But now I'm hearing some weird squeaking sounds coming from the passenger side :X Taking it back first thing in the morning.

My stock '08 has 26K miles and they changed the oil to 5W40 to stop the smoking. After 3 weeks it started again. Mazda NA sent me a survey about the service at the dealership and I basically answered to the effect that I was not satisfied. The dealership called me today to tell me that they...

From what I've read, TPMS has been mandated by law on all new vehicles from 2008 and up. So one could argue that a missing mandated safety feature should at least be disclosed. I'll hear what they have to say before deciding if I want to spend money to replace them.
