Absolutely. I’ve installed paired horns on several cars without adding A relay. There’s already a horn relay in the fuse box.

Yup, second gen there’s no connection from the inside of the door jam connector to the fuse box.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. My mechanic ordered an OE part from a dealer IIRC. The part was new/unused. It was funny because they’d given me the quote for the whole system. Then I went online and found a cheaper option for the part I needed right as he was calling me back to say...

I had a rusted out exhaust around where it curves to go around the rear wheel, so had to replace the pipe. My mechanic saw the same thing you encountered with the OEM prices being ridiculous. He was able to find an OEM part starting behind the CAT (which was fine) for a fraction of the cost...

yeah that was a mistype on my end. Meant to put 20hp, not lbs of boost.

At least give it a couple of miles to drive around.

If you’re doing rear end work maybe try looking into helper air bags in the rear springs, or like what I did in putting CX-7 lowering springs in the rear. The stock suspension doesn’t do great when filled with people/stuff, so I was looking to get a little more support when loaded up. Bear...

Well if the position of the mechanical switch is sending a signal to the dash to say the door is open you could theoretically put a manual switch on the inside of the door panel to give you a cutoff for that signal to be sent. Would need to make sure you had access to that switch from the...

Sweet baby jesus that’s a large screen! I can’t speak to these android units. Back when I owned my 3 lots of people installed similar units. While some had perfectly fine experiences, most people reported a number of buggy issues. A shame really, because I personally love the OEM look with...

How are your CV axles? If the boots have dropped their grease the joints could be going. Yes, they still spin when they aren’t under power, but I’ve previously had failing axles on another car where they only made noise when under the stress of the Engine driving them.

Replaced the passenger side motor mount today. I’m trying to track down some vibration at idle when in gear (goes away in neutral). Vibration is reduced with the new mount, but not eliminated. It’s fine for now, but I may replace the transmission mount in the future.

I’ve always had good expereinces with KYB shocks and struts. Just put those front and rear. Kept the front springs on the new struts, but swapped in progressive lowering springs designed for the CX7 in the back to give better support for carrying stuff/people.

Finally finished my suspension work this week. Swapped out the front struts with new KYBs. Had a slight delay when I realized I’d ordered two right side struts, but it all worked out. Drives much better now. Downside, have a steering angle sensor code triggered now, so next week will be...

I’ve seen some pretty severe wrecks in my time. The older cars tended to hold a lot more injured and deceased people. Newest ones /much/ less so. Once had a Chevy citation II slide off the road and hit two trees (like the front left corner went between them so they impacted front center and...

Nowhere close to 50-70 mph damage. At 35-50 most of the engine compartment would be collapsed. Regarding difference in speed..... he was going about 5 mph, so if he rear ended them they were probably stopped. Are you thinking about a head on collision and adding the two speeds? If so that...

Here’s what the Mz5 mount looks like just sitting on the CX7 front coil.

In this particular case I was eyeballing the size of the seat on the underside of the mount, and the ID of the spring, but yes, referring to ID. I’d say the diameter of that top coil manifestly has a bearing on fitment. It has to have an end coil which gets to a small enough size to mate with...
