I gotta add my $.02 for PB blaster and o2 sensors. I did an emergency parking-lot triple o2 sensor replacement on my 170Kmile Ford Exploder a couple of weeks ago. Bought the sensors, a sensor socket, and a can of PB. I put the beast up on stands and squirted the PB then went off for a latte...

To reiterate what I said in the other thread, there are two important parameters to this, spring rate (the rate at which the spring compresses for a given force - lbs/inch) and the spring preload (the force required to begin to lift the valve off the seat - lbs). In my opinion, for a basically...

I think the answer is still the same, unless you can do some creative stuff going into the SAT radio/ipod port, but that will require some interesting engineering.

You should try pulling the head unit and reseating all the connectors. Pretty easy, and might fix it.

Well, the CPU box has an audio out. I would say you would connect it to the AUX port to the HU. Then you would press AUX to select the audio. I haven't connected it up, so I cannot comment on the noises.

Yep, that's what I thought you meant. Buying the nav parts from a dealer is going to set you back an unreasonable amount. You might be able to find the parts at a junk yard, but actually, I think not a lot of 3s were made with factory navigation. If you find it, you need to pull the screen and...

No sure what your question really is. Retrofitting the factory nav is difficult because the wiring harness is different. It has been talked about, but as far as I know no one has done it.

You will have to tap into the video for the nav to use this, there is no away around that. You need to add a switching box to connect to the nav screen, it switches between the stock and gauge video, and reformats the video signal to match the navigation screen inputs. The rest can be simply...

Please update your profile with a bit more specific location. Thanks!

I used G2 on my previous car and it was solid for several years. I did my Cosmic Blue in black G2, nothing fancy.

Or, you can add a T to the existing sensor at the front of the engine. There is a write-up somewhere in the How-To section.

Mine are holding up fine. In fact it is interesting, I feel they have gotten a little bit stiffer as time goes on. Or, maybe I'm just getting older. Anyway, I have them set with slightly less stiff compression than the factory suggested numbers.

If you take a red sharpie, you can spiff up the lettering. Wash and dry first, then just soak the ink into the threads. Not as cool as the Canadian ones, but a lot better than weird brown.

I think this is the wrong answer. He has an '09 but it looks like the dealer tried to install a '08 and before kit which won't work. He is right that the '09 retains the AUX.

I'll take the intake manifold gasket. Payment sent.

Some Mazda dealers are Mazdaspeed qualified and some are not. There is additonal training for the 'speed techs.
