There is no need for this. Other members are trying to understand the situation with the information provided. As far as I can tell, observations made by previous posters have been completely objective and not disrespectful. Let's try to keep it that way moving forward.

I don't think it's a complete assembly. From TSB 01-002/23, we know that a cylinder head replacement includes reusing the water outlet, fuel distributor, fuel injectors, OCV oil filter, rocker arms, HLA, CMP sensors and engine hanger brackets. That probably contributes a good amount of labor to...

This might clear it up a bit more. In the documentation for CSP11, they list the labor hours for each option. Specifically for the CX-9 AWD, cylinder head replacement is 11.3 labor hours, plus 0.8 or 1.3 labor hours for a front wheel alignment. Engine replacement is listed at 10.9 labor hours...

Vinyl wrapped a few small interior trim pieces and installed them.

So, because I hadn't planned to trade it in so quickly, the only parts I took off the 2018 before I dropped it off at the dealership was the JB4, the CorkSport intake, and the Sprint Booster. I ended up leaving a bunch of stuff on the car, like the exhaust tips, some interior trim pieces, and...

I like it! Personally I think it makes driving the car feel easier, as if I'm not forcing the car to move since I don't have to press the pedal as much. Throttle tip-in feels more natural to me, as someone who grew up with cable throttle. The downside is, of course, that the pedal is more...

Moved to the Support subforum. I like this idea! @Antoine, what do you think? Maybe instead of having the CX-5, -30, -50, -70/90 in the top ribbon, we could organize groups of Mazdas into different "categories". I thought about having "Current Mazdas" and "Other Mazdas" that open drop-down...

DIY: It isn't easy, and it isn't cheap.

Thanks! The coating does a decent job of hiding minor oxidation and scuffs too. I forgot to mention the rubber piece on the inside of the liftgate that's kind of sagging down between the hinges. It's missing 3 clips. They look like the push-clip plastic fasteners for the body trim, but they...

Dashcam is all set up. Really happy with the clean install, but man, this cam is like 3x the size of my Viofo. I much prefer the small size of the Viofo cams, but this Redtiger also has a much bigger, nicer screen, and also has an in-cabin cam. Should be worth the tradeoff, but it'll take a bit...

That's great! Did they also send you a hardwiring kit? I think the best place to post the review here would be in the Redtiger subforum. You can find it by clicking on Forums at the top, then scrolling down to Redtiger. Any short video clips can be uploaded here directly, but it would probably...

Did the electronics (radio, lights, instrument cluster) also shut down during the incident? You mentioned the car started braking. Was it like normal engine braking, or more abrupt like emergency braking? I'm wondering if maybe a battery terminal or something was loose, and the emergency...

If you buy pieces one at a time from Amazon, at least make sure that you buy from the same seller. Buying from different sellers/vendors increases the risk of getting pieces that don't match in terms of pattern or quality.
