    Using windshield wiper fluid and tank as intercooler sprayers

    The 1st gen turbo Probe Gt guys used to do it. There was a few threads about it in the early 2000's. I followed the thread about it on Probetalk and did it to my own 89 Probe gt probably 15 years ago. Kinda fun DIY project, but nothing comparable to an actual IC sprayer.

    Trade in or sale CX-5 for new cx-9?

    3rd row seating is a bit cramped in the new CX9. If your thinking of shoving adults back there, id say get a 2013-2015 CX9 instead as they had a ton more room and adults could even sit in the 3rd row comfortably. Its one of the things i really didnt like about the 2016 i test drove.

    Spied: 2017 Mazda CX-9

    Took a red Touring out for a test drive today. I was the first customer to do a test drive in one of the new CX9's at my dealership. There was alot i dug. Power does seem a little less then with the existing 3.7. But still more then enough to pass, or get into trouble with. New one felt much...

    I dont see people "Living off the dole" buying $40k+ cars. Or at least $40K+ Mazdas. Thats more Escalades and such. lol.

    our little brother, the CX-5 is pretty boss offroad,check out the 1st minute of video

    Keep in mind the CX5 is still based on the Mazda3 car platform. So its definitely not something to think of as a true off road truck or anything. But it at least looks more then capable of a camping trip, or any other off road trip. I just wouldnt expect it to tackle the Moad, or Rubicon. lol

    Finally tinted the CX9

    This was one of the 1st things i wanted to get done, but for one reason or another kept getting put off. Finally had a chance to get it knocked out. Went with a 20% on the fronts, and then 35% over the factory rear tint. Pretty happy with how they turned out. And finally got the right...

    2008 CX-9 Brake Rotor replacement

    After a few years, MY OE brakes have finally bit the bullet. Great thread for info here. Planned on getting some Centric blanks. But after reading the thread, probably will just go with StopTech's as thats what ive run on my other Mazda's without issue in the past.

    fc3s rx7 1991 turbo II 3.7l v6 twin turbo swap

    Research in the KLZE v6. It was Mazda's last V6. And actually a power house of a motor when boosted. There is even a site that specializes in RWD applications for them. Its alot easier to source, a ton cheaper, and lighter. And keeps it 100% Mazda. http://crapengineering.weebly.com/

    2015 CX-9 Emergency key question.

I got 3 older just regular Mazda keys for like $3 a piece. And had them cut to match my flip key. It works just fine for the doors. But will not start...

    New AEM cold air intake, but now the check engine light is on

    AEM sells a fix exactly for this. Its called a AEM air straightener. There less then $10 shipped brand new. Slap it in place, and the CEL will go off. Problem solved.
