    What is this foam strip?

    Anyone familiar with the underside of the car care to comment on what this piece of foam seal is? I've uploaded a video clip of the area below the driver's side https://vimeo.com/86795812

    What is this foam strip?

    I got my car stuck on a snow mound while parking today... kind of high-centered it. I noticed this piece of foam dangling below the driver's side floor board. Any idea what this is for?

    Off Roading

    I take mine on fire service roads and have not had any problems. There was this youtube video a while ago that I though was interesting.

    Brake pads and rotors - where to go to have them replaced?

    Any recommendations besides the dealer? Meineke always has a $50 off promotion, I've never been there but they seem to ave just about the wort reputation online. How about PepBoys or STS? Ideally, I'd like to buy the rotors and pads online and take them somewhere to be installed.

    New wheels and tires

    I'm surprised that I like how those 7-spoke rims look on the cx-9, though it is much more obvious just how necessary an upgraded suspension with a slightly lowered stance is for this car. Also, looks like you have a Touring and so upgraded the 18" wheels, do you know what the difference in...

    CX-9 Performance Intake Kit K&N 77-2583KS

    Would be interested to see what you come up with. It surprises me how little interest/support there is for this car compared to some others like, say the dodge caravan, which seems even less likely a platform to modify. Yet there is a pretty strong aftermarket for it. I've seen several in my...

    CX-9 Performance Intake Kit K&N 77-2583KS

    Any thoughts on how to make it handle better than properly? There is nothing available in aftermarket suspension components for this car. No anti-roll bars. Anyone ever consider having something made?

    If you want to get rid of the 20"s, (before you dip them that is) I'd be interested. Thanks!

    FYI to all: Centric Premium & Centric Ceramics are waaaay outperforming oem brakes

    I am thinking of having the the front rotors and pads replaced, which of these centric rotors did you end up going with and how are they holding up? http://centric.cataloglookup.com/Inquiry/PartInt.aspx?pn=120.45080&id=WEB_DISC&y=2009&m=80&mm=5863 Has anyone ever tried these...

    Tire inflation specs.

    I just inflated my 18" duellers to 40psi cold and drove them 20 miles or so with no noticeable difference in handling dynamics vs. how they were at 30psi cold for the last two months! However, I did notice that the sidewall max psi is 40, and it says something like "NEVER exceed the max...

    Tire inflation specs.

    I bought a tire gauge and decided to check the pressure in my Touring's 18" tires today (first time since buying the car 4 months ago) and all 4 were 6 psi low at 30psi (cold). However, I read this thread http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123706071-CX9-Tyre-pressures and am now...

    Would like to add the following to my 2012 CX9 touring.... is it possible?

    Regarding the plastic door handle covers; i bought this one: ebay item 150685243072 for $15.99 and free shipping. IMO, they are worth this price and not more. They feel cheap, but haven't fallen off and this is considering that I applied them in the middle of the winter on a frigid day, exactly...
