    I suppose that nick is a semi fair compromise. Nice Save!(wrc)

    Turbo Lag - Gone!

    I really have to agree here. I don't see the flash as the cure all it can be made to sound like. I think it is an improvement, but now that it's getting hot and with the A/C occasionally on, wow the hesitation from a stop is significant. I too am getting used to it, but you need to think...

    Sport Interior

    I upgraded the console trim on my sport. It's definately cake to swap those parts. Sorry, I decided to start there so I can't help with the GB or CC, but has anyone done the door panels just under the "armrest" ? Seems like you have to replace the whole interior door panel. Forget that for...

    Reflash being done and etc :

    It's funny they don't want to reflash. Why wouldn't they want to provide the best map for the ecu? It barely takes any time too. I know when I was trying to take a left in front of oncoming traffic I was wishing my cx7 was flashed. Went from wait.. wait.. to peeling out across the...

    2.3 cyl engine question cx7 & ms 6

    That would be the ultimate stealth. Can't argue that. I never did speak of catastrophic outcome BTW. I was just pointing out a turbo swap is not necessaily a bolt on mod and forget it. Other addtional things would need to be considered. I'm not going to claim to know what the tranny can...

    2.3 cyl engine question cx7 & ms 6

    I agree with you and don't mean to sound like I'm against modding. I guess I just consider a turbo swap to be the beginning of a lot of mods. More than I would consider for this type of vehicle. Moding is definately a fun way to get more out of your car, and everyone has a different comfort...

    Parking Break Recall?

    Parking Brake Recall? I was just at my dealer Friday 5/11 and they were doing the delivery service checklist that should have been done already. They reflashed at my request and fixed a shake I felt when braking at hwy speed. Turned rotors, claimed they couldn't replace per Mazda. Anyway I...

    2.3 cyl engine question cx7 & ms 6

    You can always add a bigger turbo. The better question would be would you really want to? There are all sort of things that occur when you go that route. More heat = need for more cooling. More torque/hp = tranny strain. More speed = need for better suspension and better brakes. You'll...

    Turbo Lag - Gone!

    Yeah, I think I'm going to get the flash done. There seems to be more praise for it than complaints overall. Actually I have the newer door seals from what I can tell and based on my vin but, I'm wondering what this tsb is: FRONT UPPER DOOR PANEL WRINKLED ON TOP EDGE. It's in the TSB sticky...

    Turbo Lag - Gone!

    What's the door crease tsb? I can't a working link for that tsb and I don't really understand what you guys are describing. Now I'm not so sure if I should flash or not. The power band definately has issues as there is too much lag and too much boost engaged after you get past the lag...

    Sirius Mod Install

    These pics are fair but you get the idea. I think I'll go with this for a while and maybe consider the factory install later.

    Sirius Mod Install

    I installed an aftermarket sirius radio in my wife's cx-7 yesterday. It went pretty well overall. Removing the bezel around the radio and climate controls was really tough on mine. Had to muscle it more than I really wanted too. The bottom 3 clips weren't too bad but the remaining 7 on top...
