hvaserv, im doing the same swap tomorrow. i bought a used 04 engine off an automatic and putting it in my 04 manual. did you have a lot of trouble installing the engine, and any advice?

o.k. i have another question. i found an engine but it is from an automatic mazda 3 and mine is manual. Does the transmission have anything to do with the type of engine that goes in it? In other words does an engine from an automatic 3 fit a standard 3? I've asked around and most people say...

Thank for all the input. Guess I will look for an '04 or '05 to replace. Sucks I miss driving around my 3 but its hard finding an engine.

I blew out the engine on my 3 a couple months ago and am looking for a replacement. I have an '04 and recently found an '06 engine. My question is does anyone know if an '06 2.3L Manual will fit an '04 2.3L Manual?

Here's my '04 three sitting on 18's

I removed my front license plate and put a Japanese style plate. It is made out of moldable aluminum. I put double sided tape on it, and I've got to say it looks pretty damn sweet, I've gotten a lot of compliments on it.

This may be a dumb question, but did you have to pay for anything when you took your car in for this. My ride has 27k miles and I am experiencing some of the same problems.

Thanks for all the info fellaz. greatly appreciated.

I need some new tires for my 3 and I'm a little low on funds. A local shop has some 18 gloss black rims with Falken Z-rated tires for $1100 total. My question is are Falken tires any good?

Yeah they hooked me up with a red 6-speed Rx-8, I had it for 9 days. Made me want to trade in my III (as awesome as it is) for that rotary. Taking my car back in in a couple of weeks cuz my window messed up again, hopefully I will get that 8 again.

Slick ass rides and fine ass chicks. That's a sweet looking P5, definitely one of the hottest I've ever seen. We should all post more topics like this, sweet rides and sexy ladies.

I would like some info on that too, it would be greatly appreciated.

Got the scoop in the mail put it on just to see how it looked and it didn't look too hot. Scoop was also kind of cheap and flimsy, guess that's what you get for $30 bux. Gave it to my friend to put on his '91 civic. Thanks for all the input and advice. I am putting all the input i got...

Same exact thing happened to my III. Air bag light wouldn't turn off, it is a sensor that makes the car think that there is no airbag. Got that fixed. Drivers side window wouldn't auto either, supposedely a new motor was put in. Was working fine for a while until yesterday I had to take it...

Yeah I would make it functional, there is no point on putting something on a ride just for looks and nothing else. And to you haters out there, sorry if I wanna make my 3 look a little different and not follow the cookie cutter image.

Has anyone put a hood scoop on their 3 yet. Personally I think it would give the car a more muscular agressive look. Thinking bout getting this one on e-bay, pretty cheap too.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2481501824&category=33646 Any opinions.

Just wanted to say what's up to all the Mazda III owners out there. I got mine a couple months ago it is a Titanium Hatch. But this is my first time posting. All the info on this forum is excellent. Does anyone have Import plates on their III. I put some on my ride and it makes it look even...
