    Guide Morimoto XB LED Fog Lights installed

    Just wanted to share that I swapped out the factory round foglights for the Morimoto XB LED Fog Lights on my 2015 CX-5 GT AWD. I bought them directly from Morimoto's website and they came in about a week. The fit wasn't exactly plug in play, but it was still easy to do. Pull onto ramps for...

    FREE Mazda Factory Fog Lights (local pickup only)

    These oval fog lights from a 2015 CX-5 I think should fit most of the following vehicles (fit is same as Morimoto XB LED fogs): Mazda RX-8 : 2004-2008 Mazda MX-5 : 2006-2015 Mazda MPV : 2004-2006 Mazda CX-9 : 2013 Mazda CX-7 : 2007-2009 Mazda CX-5 : 2013-2015 Mazda MAZDASPEED6 : 2006-2007...

    Yakima Landing pads and Mazdaspeed CAI as a short ram

    does anybody have a pic or what the canadian rails look like? I will likely be removing my rack whenever it's not in use and I'd hate to have to leave either the landing pads there OR leave the stock rail with hole in it. Also, where can one get the canadian rail?

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    Well, by the letter of the law, it really is up to them to prove it... All I'm saying is that they won't, because the law is near unenforceable and in most situations, people would lose in court anyway.

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    Intakes blow motors all the time. So many bad things can happen on a MAF based car from an intake change it's not even funny. I totally agree that if they refuse coverage on your stereo because you have an intake, that you should NOT allow them to get away with it... I just think that in the...

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    What you are suggesting is fraud and is also illegal. Do you think if she had reversed her mods and then ended up in court, they wouldn't find out? I'm not urging anybody to "take it up the bum". I'm saying to honor the contracts you signed when you bought the car. Instead, you're suggesting...

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    You keep talking about the legal system as if it even matters. 99.9% of the time, a person will NOT take it to court because they have doubts about their ability to win or because the cost of litigation is prohibitive.

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    No, it doesn't cure all... my tailpipe has started smoking at idle (mostly when facing downhill(nervous)) and I am 100% stock... which is why I'm reading threads on oil smoke today. However, in the case of the original poster's car... she modified it before showing any signs of smoking with a...

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    The dealership itself didn't have to prove it. The Mazdaspeed community proved it for them when PTP released their "engineering analysis" of their smoking turbo fix. It clearly states that the reduced backpressure from a downpipe directly causes oil blow-by.

    wtb: stock MS3 springs and stock camber links

    I live in Seattle... the closer to here the better for shipping! I have the Mazdaspeed upgrade springs/links for my MS3 and can't get into the parking garage at my new apartment so want to go back to stock.

    Factory Oil Analysis

    It goes beyond a spelling error when you are clearly confusing/combining elemental silicon and molecular silicone.

    Factory Oil Analysis

    Here is a sheet showing several of my analysis numbers... newest on the left, oldest on the right. You can see that high silicon is typical for a first oil change and that it drops off dramatically afterwards.

    Factory Oil Analysis

    No. The fittings on a CAI are made from silicone, which is a thermosetting polymer consisting largely of carbon. Yes, silicone does contain silicon, but it is in molecular form and the silicon is not going to escape the molecular bonds of the silicone polymer to contaminate your engine...

    Tire chains & cables on the MS3, share your experience

    Seattle, and I'm not worried about the ability to "handle" anything, as I learned to drive in a michigan winter... snow is never challenging for me. What I AM concerned about is legality for when I (frequently) go skiing or climbing or backpacking in the mountains.
