    Another One Bites the Dust! - Motor Mount Failure! = Oh NOES!

    +1.... Glad your ok and definitely make a formal complaint on the NHTSA Website. This in another issue that is begining to tick me off. What's it going to take for a recall on this? Hopefully someone does not lose their life. This is a serious matter for sure.

    Mazdaspeed 3 Mazda upgrade rims

    Hmmm, In my opionion a 19" wheel would be to big. If you install a small drop with just the Mazdaspeed springs on a MS3 the OEM 18" wheels are borderline tucked into the wheel well. If you go lower, YIKES!!! The car is very stiff already and to go with 19" would mean you would need an even...

    Sunroof...

    This is my first car in many years that doesn't have one, but as a performance car who cares...plus it does affect the structural rigity and it's ALLOT easier to wax the roof. Just my .02 cents.

    How are these tires?

    Hello! At first I thought they were different, but I went to the BFGoodrich website and apparently some call it BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 and some call it the KDW NT. The "2" stands for "second generation" and the "NT" stands for "New Tread." I know the first KDW that came out had a compound...

    should i or should i not?!

    Hey guys! That is wrong... You can install any aftermarket part on a car and not void your warranty. The catch is they have to prove that the aftermarket part is what damaged your car or broke said named part. That is fact and that is LAW!!! Trust me as I have witnessed it first hand in court...

    Some pics with 235/40/18 Hankook RS2's

    If price is not an issue and you wan't the best gripping street tire or should I say the next best thing to a street drag radial then BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 hands down is one of the best tires out there. Go to Tire Rack and read the survey results. I have owned a few pair and they are...

    Blown motor??

    Who did the last oil change? If it was the dealer and you have the documents to go with the oil change, it's on them. If they refuse to honor your warranty, I would contact Mazda. Secondly, you had no lights come on? Did you even notice how hot your car was?

    should i or should i not?!

    Same here. The funny thing is the closest Mazda dealer south of me wants to install any Mazdaspeed part in order to "maintan" the warranty, but I can go maybe 10 miles further north and that Mazda dealer said I can install any of the Mazdaspeed products myself with no warranty worries at all...

    Oh oh oh, now if you want a short-ram style intake, I don't think that would fare to well with our car. There is allot of heat in that general area of the intake so my guess would be, yes you would make a gain but definitely not as much as the CAI. CAI and Re-map with 280bhp and 310ftlbs is...

    How are these tires?

    BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2. Hands down the best tires I have ever owned. They do have a little road noise but with our exhaust note, you may not even hear it. Check out the survey results on Tirerack.com. Also they have a 300 AA A Treadwear rating which is unbelievable for a tire that...

    XEDE Engine Management System Available Soon!

    (cool) Thanks for the Website information. Also on the Plug & Play harness as you know, it's better not to release a date. That will certainly prevent the "you said on bla bla bla date that XYZ" etc. So soon is GREAT!

    Mazda Reflashed my ECU, Now I Am Not Getting a Black Tailpipe!

    bast525, where in line does your VIN# fall from the previous post? Also remember the re-flash is not designed to eliminate the black soot, it's for driveability issues. Now, yes you're certainly experiencing that with the bogging down etc. Did you print the Adobe file I posted a few posts...

    Update! Sorry for the delay but you cannot install a Cone Style filter in the OEM box. However, you can use a K&N drop-in filter. The design of the intake tube running into the box will not allow it. Also, I never realized how small the factory airbox is inside.
