Thanks Tinman! That's some good advice. I'm going to take the CX9 by the dealer this week and see how it would fit. I'm gonna stop by EMS and REI as well to see how those boxes fit/look. Thanks for the online site info. JP

Here are the specs on the Atlantis 1800 box: 687 Atlantis 1800 18 cu ft. 44 lbs. 84" L 16.9 " H 34.4" W 6-8 pairs Dual Side The specs on the "Mazda" Thule Long Box at my local dealer: 14 cu ft. 44.8lbs 92.1" L 15.3" H 27.5" W Internal ski carrier for up to 6 pairs As you can see the Mazda...

I tried finding the "Medium" and "Long" versions of the Thule boxes that Mazda sells, no luck. The box dimensions of the one at my local dealer are not as wide nor tall as the Atlantis 1800 you mentioned. The Atlantis 1800 is about 8 inches wider and about 4-5 inches taller. That box seems...

thanks for the heads up. I wonder what "model" the Mazda dealer sells. The 1800 looks like a nice compromise and 84" should do the trick. The only thing is then, is price. Where did you wind up getting yours from? I see you are in Loudon cty, va. I'm in C ville in FFX cty. The pics sound...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what the 1800 and 1600 refer too, but I'm assuming cubic feet for the storage area. I know Thule makes all of the cargo boxes for mazda, but I don't know the cubic feet on the box i'm looking at. I'd guess it's around 14 or so since it's not as tall or...

My local dealer has the "Long" Cargo box, 0000-8L-F05, on clearance for only $270. It's normally $399. This is the Cargo box that is specifically made for carrying Skis, as it's 92 inches long and has an internal ski carrier for up to 6 pairs of skis. This is NOT the Cargo box that is shown...

Installed the TRZ MM with Delrin bushing today and wow, what a difference. I agree this was a great mod for only $100. The car drives sooooo much smoother now and feels much stiffer. The Vibration with the Delrin bushing is very noticeable though, so those wanting a similar ride to stock or...

Nice writeup. My TRZ delrin motor mount should be delivered today, so I'm psyched to install it tomorrow. Now with the TRZ mount and my CPE intake, I'm ready for the next round of mods with the Forge BPV and TBE.

Mazda is going to announce that the CX-9 will be Motor Trend's SUV of the Year. They pushed up the announcement date from October 19th to the 15th. Pretty cool, as the Mercedes GL series won it last year. I'm not sure if they based it on the 07 or 08 model, but regardless, the CX-9 will be...

How about some fuel system upgrades?? Do we know the limits of the stock fuel pump? What about injectors?? Then you get the limit on the Rods, which aren't forged.

I just got my 08 Speed3 and I debated between the Sport and GT. I could have gotten both for under invoice, but I went with the Sport. I sat in both and compared stereos and I thought the Bose sounded like garbage. Plus I figured I can change the speakers and install my own stereo for...

I just placed my order for the TRZ mount with the Delrin bushing from Protege Garage. I'm psyched to get it for the install. My CPE intake should be here Friday!! I know the quality will be top notch as it's from TRZ. Thanks TRU Boost for the help!!! By the way I picked up my 08 Black...

Actually we don't have the "SET" button on top there now. That is one small change. Who knows.

I just tried this on my 08 Speed3 Sport and nothing. I held the CD and AM/FM buttons forever and still nothing. Looks like they took it off the 08 models. JP

I'm a new Speed3 owner and I'm coming from the Cobra/Lightning world. The shifters that we had for our Mustangs were great, whether it was the Tri Ax or B&M or Pro 5.0. You would never miss 3rd if you tried and the whole unit was replaced, not just the handle. The handle itself was shorter...

Nevermind, I see it's in Kentucky.. The one here in MD is a Red 07 Sport. I prefer the silver at Jake Sweeney, cause it's a GT without the NAV. Thanks for the info!! JP Just looked online and on their site and didn't see the 07 GT you are talking about. Is it considered used?

That's funny you metion Jake Sweeney in Cinci. That is actually one of the dealers I've been dealing with. They have an 07 Silver GT that I'm considering. They have quoted me about $300 over invoice right now but I'm using them to bargain back with a dealer in my area in MD. I did get an...

I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. I wish I could get my dealers to give it to me at Invoice. They think it's a rare car when they have 8 08 models sitting on the lot. They are clueless. I'd buy it today if I was offered invoice.

Just some FYI for you still trying to get an 07 Speed3. I've been communicating with a ton of Mazda dealers in my area (DC area MD/VA) and there are very few 07's left. I've also looked around in the Ohio area, have family there, and found a few. The best prices I've gotten have been about...
