    Options for adding an auxiliary input on the Mazda3

    Just bought one of the AuxMod basic do-hickys off the link above, at least I think I did.... Anyone bought anything from these guys? Any idea where they are or how long it takes them to fill an order? Anyone had any luck reaching anyone through e-mail? Just wondering, thanks.

    Best mileage out of a full tank of gas?

    I have read what you guys are saying and I doubt you will believe me. I am not arguing with anything just telling you what I have found. I have run my car for a week after the light comes on before filling up. The needle is way buried past the last tick and I have never, ever put more than 13...

    2nd Motor Blown...

    I had a fuel pump and some sensors replaced under warranty in my 04 3 hatch. Other than that, no problems. Its funny though because I hade a 1995 4runner with 114,000 on it and this happened to me, blew the motor. I had the oil changed 1500 miles prior, no leaks or smoke, I took immaculate...

    Mazda3 2005 Air Bags failed to open after frontal crash

    If I were to get T-boned in an intersection, do you think my forward speed would decrease fast enough to make my side airbags deploy? Are all the Airbags in the car set to deploy at the same time, every time? That doesnt make any sense.

    Regular or Premium Gas?

    Just took the “White Mazda Wagon of Justice” on a Short road trip over the weekend, about 1200 miles round trip. I was averaging around 37 or 38 miles to the gallon with the cruise set between 65 and 75 the whole way, which was on 87 octane. I was stoked about these numbers. The only thing I...

    Fuel pump dies...

    No s***??? Thats crazy. I wonder how much that happens. Many people probably don't record the mileage when they drop their car off, so they would never know the difference. Did you challenge them on it? I had two chew asses all they way to the top of the service department. The Manager...

    US 2007 Mazdaspeed3 and Mazda3

    I have read that the hatch experiences less flex in the chassis than the sedan. I'm not sure if they chose it for the MS3 because of that, or if they strengthened the frame specifically for the MS3. No doubt they had the hatch in mind for the MS3 from day one. So it’s probably the later...

    US 2007 Mazdaspeed3 and Mazda3

    Audi is in a whole different price class. If the price of the Audi A3 was the same as the Mazda3...Id be driving the Audi. However the MS3 should come out priced much lower than the A3 and you really can't argue with the (projected) bang for the buck there.

    COne filter question.

    Its a quick and dirty cell phone shot but you can see what I did. There the MAS and the piece right out of the air box it was already mounted in. The filter is clamped right to it to it. I didn't know you could just take the sensor out and stick it in anywhere along the intake. I always...

    COne filter question.

    I did the same thing to my '04 Mazda 2.3. Dremeled the MAS out of the air box and just clamped a cone filter on it. I haven’t noticed any problems, seems I lost a bit of torque in the low end, but the passing gear, around (70mph through 90mph) there is a noticeable power gain, faster on the...

    Less miles for the mazda (suspendid lisence)

    I figured it wouldnt work. There isnt anything like that that I have heard of to get out of the ticket, but did it get reported to your insurance? Probably did but I am just hanging on to that last little thread of hope.

    More CF goodness...or..CF hood installed!!!!!

    I'm just not sure yet. It defiantly looks better on the gray than any other colors I have seen. My hood is damaged and a CF replacement would be cheaper than repair of the one i have. Still i am not sure if i would miss the clean look. Can't wait to see yours with the CF grill, that’s the...
