Another option that fits, Group 34 (med-big battery so tight fit and need slight mod to bracket). Costco carries Interstate @ $85 (a few years ago but prices likely increased), and IIRC, 800CCA (need to confirm).

There's a device that you can buy to program a new tpms sensor. IIRC, the car has a limit of 8 (or 10?) tpms sensors. I *think* it was $10-$20 ballpark on Amazon?? 99% sure Forscan can do it. Youtube keyword FORD (b/c Forzda) TPMS relearn. If you have an air pump, you can deflate the tire...

I can only suggest you to shop around and always cross-check the source. Also, make sure you understand the difference between a manufacture vs a retailer (rebrand), snoop around for product number and you'll find the link. 3rd party resellers may have axle part number listed incorrectly...

The 2.3 FSM is freely available on the interweb and likely very similar to the 2.5 in all torque specs. I've only seen someone comment/recommend that you can buy a digital copy via ebay but I don't think anyone has post it freely. That said, start paying attention to the barrel diameter of...

Unless they are physically damaged/torn, you can (and should) reuse OEM bellows and boots. You should join this forum but please don't clog the passing lanes. https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/hypermiling/hypermiling-techniques

Unless you are the type who yells "By the power of Grayskull..." and goes full He-Man every time you pull on the hand brakes, mileage has no correlation to the cable or spring (holding it taught for a LONG time) degrading. Try if this helps first...

Why replace both if one is leaking?? I'm surprise to hear piston O-ring failure (leak) on a '14 car. Helps to watch a quick YT video to understand how "floating" caliper disc brakes work. Calipers are simple devices and pretty easy to rebuild, but it can be tough to fit in new seals due to...

Are you still on original axles and wheel bearings? What year is the car and how many miles on ODO when you bought it? Mileage is usually not an issue on most engines. Highway miles does minimal wear/tear since the trans stays in top gear, low rev, and constant air cooling. Age (year/time)...

Welcome to the word of FoMoCo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r46_unyYk8 https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/spongy-brakes-bleeding-doesnt-work.123876410/

It bee a while but this is what I recall as well. It may be possible but difficult to find. The path of least resistance is to simply cut/reconnect a wire. -pre-bending the wire helps a LOT. -double up wire in a drill to twist and make it thicker -do it in sections...

Pretty much every automobile fit this criteria. You'll need to research to find your own answer. Asking in ___ car forum is not a good idea unless you are already leaning towards something and looking for confirmation...

Considering the 2nd gen is mostly face lift, I am 99.99% sure they are directly swappable. Both have air bags in 1st row seats.

@Yo'sDad Thanks to you input, this help opened up my search. https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/37701-headlight-sealant-spar-urethane-vs-opti-coat-2-0-a-31.html#post876930 This is what I've been looking for! But damn it is expensive (as expected) and doesn't help me decide...

Never though of using a urethane being an option! This also goes on crystal clear? And 30 mins cure time seems a bit (too?) long. Will have to look into alternatives. New headlights is not an option for me. GT come with HID headlights (manual leveling servos) and cost a pretty penny to replace.

@pkthomas - any thoughts on what you might do differently with the redo kit? Would you consider finishing with your own 3000 grit and polish before applying more layers of top coat/uv coat and again 3000 grit it, or perhaps using a different UV coat? @Yo'sDad - can I assume "them" refer to...

My '08 headlight covers are pretty oxidized. Seeing some of you folks buffing them to sparking is making me want to tackle it. I've never buffer headlights before but wanted to see what kits you folks are using and how long/well (time duration, not mileage) the rework is holding up on this or...

Gotcha, you are looking to run AS longer into the season to cover the recommend 45-degree switchover temp.

If this is 100% reproducible, I'd take out the (FoMoCo) throttle body, clean it thoroughly, and go through idle relearn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPNnHU6PYbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNxXM75zJOw https://mazdas247.com/forum/attachments/ms3-tbw-mapping-pdf.210155/

Not sure how long you plan to keep her running but consider adding one of these inline between the trans pump outlet and the trans cooler/temp regulator (note this will add an item with service life). https://www.magnefinefilters.com/

When you waited for the ~3sec, did you hear the fuel pump prime (it is faint but audible in driver seat, pump is under rear passenger seat). Next I'd try to a warm start (again after 3-5 sec wait) with the gas pedal pressed down. These warm starts, can I assume the key was removed from the...
