This summer I installed racing beat swaybars (Front and Rear) and upgraded the front endlinks from racing beat, and the rear with ms3 endlinks from a third party vendor. I have had a rear endlink blow out and just today had a front endlink blow out. I am not really that hard on the car, I don't...

How would something like the color of these rx-8 wheels look, they appear to be slightly darker than my galaxy grey car ? I have attempted a bad photoshop job let me know what you guys think?

skylar2ups are you talking about liquid silver metallic? That is the only silver or grey color that the 2010 cx-7 comes in. Thanks, Josh

Bump so I can get some opinions

Does anyone know if there is anything tcm/ecu related that could cause the transmission to learn wrong? Basically when I get the tcm/ecu reset or reflashed by mazda the transmission seams to shift great for about a week and a half then it learns "something" and the shifting isn't as smooth or as...

So I have an update on this topic, I am getting my wheels repainted for free by the dealer. I took it in today to get the cabin air filters replaced and had the service manager look at the wheels. The service manager said that since I was still under warranty that they would refinish the wheels...

It may be a good idea for you to pick up a new filter cap and plug, they are about 30 bucks from the dealer. I change all my own oil on my 07 3 hatchback. I made the mistake of over tightening the filter cover plug on my first oil change and stripped the threads off the filter cover plug. I have...

Can you actually damage the car by over filling it a small amount? I always do my own oil changes on my 07 mazda 3 hatchback and I always put in 4.5 quarts. I have never had a problem with the engine. Personally I see the stick reading problem, but I don't think I have ever over filled it by...

The TCM and ECU upgraded re-flash were done as part of the transmission warranty and trouble shooting process. I didn't pay a dime for it. It should be the same for you since I gather you are still under warranty yet. I know for a fact that there was an update to both units and it smoothed out...

Does anyone know if wheel corrosion is covered by our warranty? And if so how long? I have used my stock snow flakes for one winter and then got steel wheels with snow tires on for winter. The center of each of my wheels around the logo has bubbling paint around it. I could understand if all of...

If you go in make sure that they do the updated firmware to the TCM and the ECU that may help with the performance and gas mileage. Also try disconnecting your battery and pressing the brake for a min or two until the brake lights go out. Then reconnect the battery, that will reset what the tcm...

I am averaging 28-29 mpg. I run my tires a little firmer, just had kumho ecsta lx platinum tires put on, and still run regular oil and regular transmission fluid. I am planning on switching to all synthetic fluids, probably amsoil for both engine oil and tranny fluid. That should help mileage a...

Certain Cool Air Intakes are prone to picking up water since the cone sits down in the fender well area. A Short Ram Intake is a bit safer alternative which produces similar results. Also for an exhaust look for a used mazda speed 3 exhaust, they seem to be a nice cheap upgrade to our exhausts...

I defiantly felt a difference in the pedal, the first year I put on a lot of miles as I had an hour commute, my commute now is only about 25 min. Mine was leaking just enough that you could see fluid on the master cylinder, it wasn't enough to drip on the ground. I did add fluid and that didn't...

In response about why my transmission was replace, it wasn't very smooth and it lurched when shifting at certain times, like when costing to a stop light and the light turns green while I was still rolling slowly, it wouldn't down shift decent, and when it down shifted it kinda lurched. I don't...

I am no expert, but if the car has the 2.0 it has to be an "i" but I don't know what trim level. I know that the "i" generally had smaller wheels (16") and the 2.0 engine. I do also believe that the 2.0 came with a 4 speed automatic transmission.

I also have a mazda 3 hatch with the 5 speed automatic and had to have it replaced at about 15,000 miles. It s**** ok now, but it could be better. I plan on putting either redline or amsoil synthetic ATF fluid in soon to see if it smooths the shifting out a bit.
