    Carfax equivalents?

    At what speed did the impact occur with the bear? The story is more interesting than most auto collision. Hope you get the most out of your 23 no matter what!

    Carfax equivalents?

    Back in March I paid $45 for one Carfax report. $20 is a great deal! The other service I used was AutoCheck in 2007. They are now charging $30 per report. I haven't had to sell a car with accident privately but my CX-3 got $9K of repair from a low-speed rear-end collision a year ago. Whatever...

    Fascinating and simple for Skyactiv engines

    For my two domestics I rely on groups instead of forums for tips and advice. Didn't find much info about additives there. Can't think of any specific product or brand that would be considered dangerous. Are you cooking your own mixture? 😅

    Fascinating and simple for Skyactiv engines

    Looked it up on Amazon. They only have speeder handles with grip on the end, not the center part. This is for me to turn with both hands? There's also a T-handle wrench that I can see myself using. The difference between marine and in-season seems to be the concentration (1 oz per 10-gallon v...

    It's only $14, Lubegard Platinum. 😊

    Fascinating and simple for Skyactiv engines

    I can't stop. I had my first shot of ATF additive recently and it felt good. 😭 I think additives are more accepted on domestic and euro forums. I respect the mods here and appreciate their work. Last night I wrote something redundant in a post and woke up this morning to a better structured...

    Fascinating and simple for Skyactiv engines

    I have been wanting to attend an Additive Anonymous meeting. Is it Hotshot, Sta-Bil, or Heet? 😅 Sta-Bil small engine quick fix helped start my mini moto after it sat for 5+ months.

    Stock Intake Modded and Restored

    Put everything back, including the resonator, and NO tape over the hole between the inlet and resonator. While the car is in motion, fresh air enters from the top inlet opening, feeds into the tub below the panel filter, and also down into the resonator. The temp in these parts is closer to...

    From reading the specs of CS SRIs, the inner diameter of the silicone pipe (coupler between TB and MAF) for CX-3 (2.0G) is 3". It is 3.5" for CX-5. The stock snorkel is not designed to restrict airflow, but the short ram setup supposedly allows for more air flow. I like the CS cold air box that...

    Because of NA, I suppose? With forced induction, the air gets pulled so the lack of restriction is beneficial.

    I wanted to see if this setup offers any benefit beyond the increased noise. If there is none, then the snorkel will go back in. 😬 Any MPG gain isn't worth the change in how it drives. I wonder if the cone filter in the CS setup works as the narrow passage way (enclosed chamber) to reduce...

    Got it! I don't know much of the science behind all this and have to try and find out. 😁

    Stock Intake Modded and Restored

    I took it out and the car performs differently. The stock box is still in there with the panel filter and taking loose air straight from a large hole. I suppose the narrow and curved inlet passage helps getting air ready for use? Not sure if the temp made the difference. 🤔 Perhaps I need to wait...

    What have you done to your CX-3 today?

    Also added the quick-disconnect for the negative terminal. It is basically two pieces connected together by the green knob. There's a plastic barrier between the two pieces. When the knob is off, ground is disconnected. They are tight as of now, but I will need to recheck. When the knob is off...
