    Cold Weather Squeak Video

    As a rule of thumb...I NEVER take my car to a dealership unless it's 100% necessary...they often do more damage than good these days. And as for the free part...I'm sure my neighbor's teenager would love to disassemble my car and check it out...and at no cost to me... Free doesn't always =...

    So...what causes engine-grenade in the MS3?

    I will say I have read many "Well...blew the motor today" threads across the web concerning these things...thus my thread. More often than not, a list of mods is never made so there's no explanation for the failure given... Like I said above, I changed the title of the thread, I guess I'm too...

    So...what causes engine-grenade in the MS3?

    Wow...well, I guess some people can't tell a joke when they see it (or at least a joke with a hint of truth)...I just dropped $25K on a car...I wouldn't have done that if I thought it was a pile of s***...therefore I don't think the car is crap...like I said, I really like the thing. I'm mostly...

    Cobb SRI stealership denial?

    Read this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson-Moss_Warranty_Act By what I understand...Mazda would have to prove that what mod you did caused the problem. A CAI wouldn't void the exhaust/transmission/seatbelt/etc... It is illegal for them to simply "void" your warranty because of one...

    Former American muscle owner...new to the Mazda world...

    Well...after having owned many Mustangs and finally a GTO, I decided it was time to make a change in my garage. A few years back I owned an '02 Protege5 and really liked that car...unfortunately my wife did not and she had to drive it daily. It was traded but I missed the hell out of that...
