    4 Channel Dash Cam Recommendations?

    I used to like Rexing, but they've gone downhill on my opinion. I now use Viofos because they use Sony Starvis 2 sensors. That's the very best sensor that you can get right now

    2016~2023: Perfect spot to run wires from inside to the engine bay

    If you're wanting to run some wiring from inside of the car to the engine bay, there is a perfect spot between the main wiring harness and the brake pedal lever and behind the battery. It's a bump out on the firewall that's shaped like a dog bone. There's absolutely nothing on either side to...

    Install 6" x 9" instead of OEM 6" x 8" rear speakers? 2008 Mazda5

    WIthout some major surgery, they 6x9's simply won't go where 6x8's were. It may sound like it's only a minor difference in size, but that's not true at all. It's a substantial difference. What I did was fit some Dayton Audio RS180 7's in the doors via some custom Sound Mechanix PVC adapter...

    New Brake Pad Recommendations for 2016.5 GT AWD?

    My brakes have never squealed in 125,000 miles, so no idea why yours are. I've always used OEM pads and rotors. I do turn my rotors as that's perfectly acceptable to do as per the Mazda service manual. And it's way cheaper than buying new ones! For the squeaks, I had them pretty bad on my...

    Mazda Protege 1.6L Build

    I thought the DOHC's were all 1.8's, and the single cams were 1.6's. At least that's how my 323 SE (1.6) and Protege LX (dohc 1.8) were. Learn something new every day! And this is a SICK build!

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Depends on how you drive. If it's all stop and go inner city driving, brakes and brake fluid can take a beating. And if it's a weekend track car like a Miata that you hammer on every Saturday at Road Atlanta or something, brakes will only last that weekend! I change the brake fluid on my two...
