    FS: 7-Inch In Dash Touch Screen

    How much would you want for local pickup? Its holiday pay time and I have some money burning a hole in my pocket. By the by, does it work with the stock steering wheel controls or do I get to play slice and dice with the harness?

    3rd P0441 Code in 10 months

    Yep, got the part numbers and everything. Checks out as the entire PCV assembly. First repair was just the solenoid, second repair was the filler cap gasket. This time it was the entire assembly. Ordering the Pill on Thursday. $25 once, or $250+ every 6 months? No brainer.

    3rd P0441 Code in 10 months

    SO, back in January, got the code, they pulled the PCV valve, worked great. Got the code again a month ago, replaced the gas cap gasket, code went away. Got the code AGAIN this morning, PCV valve failed again. They replaced it under warrenty only because the tech said he should have replaced...

    I know this is a late reply buuuutttt.... I have run into this issue twice now. First time they pulled the entire assembly. took them a WEEK to get the damn part in. 10 months later, same code, same shop, same story. At this point I got pissed and took the car to a different shop. They...

    Smoky Turbo Fix

    Similar here. Condensation at start up, puff when I romp on it. BUT I was at my folks place the other day, FINALLY had the time and motivation to pull the CAI apart and re-align it so the recirc pipe of the motor allowed the IC cover to lay flat. Wound it up to make sure I put it back...

    Fog lights with out head lights being on?

    ALLCON: Im still researching, but there may be a way to do this without cutting the harness or running wires and s*** like that. Plenty of FoMoCo vehicles, including later model Focus unless Im much mistaken, can run the fogs without the heads being on. I know sure a shooting that the mustangs...

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    Betcha it was the BPV. Just had my car in the shop for its second replacement PCV valve, and the tech (old guy who rolled up in a SWEET RX-7) said that if the turbo smoked, put the stock BPV back in. And no, if you are still in your 3/36K, if the radio quits, they have to fix it. Magnuson-Moss...

    does n e 1 know how to delete resonators?

    Cake. Guy at work has a welder and is gonna do it for me hopefully in a few weeks. Get the car up on a lift. Remove the CBE all the way back. Use a Sawzall, chop saw, hack saw, or what have you to remove the resonators. Make the cuts a straight and perpendicular as possible. Measure...

    Considering the re-released MS3-CAI for my 2008, what should I expect?

    There is a video on youtube with some guys taking a fresh from the truck speed3 and put the AEM CAI in it, before and after dyno runs. The results: +29 wheel horse power, 30+ ft. lbs. torque, and it revved and held power until it hit the limiter. Get a boost gauge and the whooshing/vacuum...

    Great Falls Meet 09???

    Agreed. But I still would like to see the pics from that, and be nice to discuss with people who were there where and when to have it next year. Im on travel a lot next year, so later towards august and someplace like 79/80, RIR, etc is more my vote.

    Good BPV without the Forge ping?

    For what its worth, the "ping" is over stated by people who just dont like it. Had a Forge for nearly a year, and until I put 1 shim in for the summer (yanking it on Sunday, getting too cold, getting fluttering now) I never knew what people were talking about. I THINK the ping is a function of...

    stereo amp power wire threw firewall

    jack the car up, get a BRIGHT flashlight/shoplight/dive lamp and start traceing where various things come thru the firewall, there are numerous penetrations. Try and find one. MOST cars I have installed sound systems on have one that is covered/filled with a rubber blank about where the clutch...

    Realistically, what would you replace your MS3 with?

    WELLL.... 4 choices for me, only two of them in the spirit of the thread I guess. CHOICE #1: I would go back to my first car, 1987 Crown Victoria P71 with the police spec (what we now know and love as the P72 vin code). Excepting that the 5.0 HO would get replaced with a 351W, bored and...

    Great Falls Meet 09???

    Anyone know what happened to the web page from the Northern Virginia Great Falls Meet back in July. Between work and going TDY twice, I forgot all about it, finally remembered it this morning, and the web page is dead. Never saw any pictures or anything from it. WTH, over?

    Which short shifter???

    Slightly unrelated note: Just ordered an illuminated shift knob just like ELEMENT's. I know ppl are a little skeptical about it cuz of the compression screws vice being screw on, but I had a thought. Anyone ever try pealing the stock (or ANY stock mazda) shift knob? I know on some cars, the...

    What have you done to your MS3 today?

    Ordered Luminics Foglight bulbs (9006, JDM Yellow) from SU and an illuminated shift knob from http://gearknob.de, just like ELEMENT's. Sorry, its too nice to NOT copy. Reading up on this post: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123708442 so I can do it tomorrow in preparation for...

    do i really need a AP?

    I still cant justify 500+ for something im gonna plug in, mash a few buttons, then unplug it and plug my DH back in. Getting a shop to do a custom tune would be half that most likely. And in that case I can tell them exactly what I want and not risk the thing blowing itself apart the first...

    Which short shifter???

    Seeing as I have come into an unexpected boon, I've decided its probably time to replace the stock shifter for a short shifter. The question is, which one? Pros and cons, please add your thoughts and experiences. COBB: Its the most expensive option, most adjustable, and, hell, its from COBB so...
