Upgrade the motor mounts and rear diff mounts as soon as you get a chance. It will make a very noticeable difference in the way the car feels and drives. To me these are must have items even if you do not plan on driving the car all that hard especially since I have seen the bolts for the rear diff work their way out causing it to slam around.

^^^ Are both the diff mounts really important? I'd been thinking about doing the one that's known to be weak, which even Mazda redid, but I had thought the other was less essential.

You can get it re-re flashed back to the OEM spec i did! I would start there and the motor and diff mounts for sure Also think about upgrading the BOV

I would do the front diff mount. Getting at the rear one is a major pain and almost requires removal of the diff. And to get that diff out you need to move a ton of stuff.

Ok well.
First i Cant do anywork on the car myself cause its under warranty.
No big deal i can have mazda do it for me, for just the essential things.

#1. getting A block heater, cause i need it here in Calgary.
#2. i will replace the front mounts for sure.

The rear mounts i might wait a few months casue i know it will cost more.
As for the Re-flash, well i dont think i will do that. its about a 4 hp differance.
but not sure maybe....

goos stuff guys, i really appreciate all your input.

so it looks like the mounts i have read almost everywhere is the most important.

I'm pretty sure it's the two tone black/white leather, right? I looked at one of those, and it looked nice, but I worried about stains.

learn something new everyday! I'm curious what this looks like....

 

[rapter]

yeah its black/white leather interior.....
I know i worried a bit too, im getting some leather protectant right away to help witht he leather. any one of my freinds stains it..... and I KILL them..

lol after they pay for it LOL.

 

[rapter]

They are suppose to get all documents and send the car this Tuesday, so hopefully i get it by friday for the weekend.

picspicspics!

 

[rapter]

Well i can not sleep at night knowing my baby is not here lol.
I found out block heater will cost me around 300 bucks.
and Front mounts i can not put in , it will viod my warranty. so that sucks.
Ill prolly put in a CAI from mazda instead then.

hopefully my mounts wont break in the mean time.
