Hey Speed do you still have the CX-7 ? Haven't been on for awhile myself, Looks like you went away a few years ago, Hope you are ok, Are you still doing shows?

Kam, Usually you need the help of a local mufler shop to do this, Need to cut off with a reciprocating saw or torch off, Also can use a hack saw but I recommed a professional Muffler shop to remove old exhaust tips and weld on new tips, Tips that are screwed on will come loose and fall off from...

No...........Not really....Any noise you hear that seems out of of norm is a indication of a problem of sorts,Sometimes turbos make noise when you have a intake or exhaust leak,A visual inspection should be able to eliminate this as the source,Check all intake hoses,clamps etc,and most noisy...

Hey Dave, Thanks for the update info on this it will help everyone else with this issue....

Hey Bear, Check out Street Unit.com for Mazda parts, Ive seen a set of BC racing coilover adjustable spings for Mazda cx7 on there,Only like a grand and they say you can lower it to where the tires get up into the wheel wells,Might be pre order right now because im not sure they are in...

Hey Dave, I dont own a diesel cx7,But I do work on diesel rigs,On Peterbilt tractors when the light for the dpf flashes, The owners manual says the switch that has a turbo blowing symbol on it is the one you flip on,The engine needs to be at operating temp for the process to begin, The DPF (...

(stash)Hey Dave, Yeah the switches I found that fit in the dash are full size switches,I found these particular ones at Auto Zone online,You have to modify any swith you put in the dash hole because its a bit of a odd size hole,have to trim out the tabs in the corners of the hole with a razor...

Yes i have a suggestion, First are you using the stock radio? If you are, they sell ipod interfaces on the net for the cx7 stock radio,Also on U tube look up ipod interface installlation for cx7 and you will get a video of how to install it,Also a local car stereo shop can set you up with one...

Hey Speed anymore Picts of your Rad ride?

Ok......Your situation is the best reason why when you buy a new car you negotiate a extended warranty,But since you dont have one,Get a second opinion,And check the fuse for the ABS module,Dealers make mistakes all the time,Ive seen fuses melt and cause a bad conection throwing a code that the...

Yes I pulled my battery out of my cx7 and the tcs light stayed on till i drove the car and it reset and the light went out, not too sure about all the other stuff blowing fuses but maybe he hooked the batt up backwards till he figured out it was then hooked it up correctly,is he a shade tree...

Yes good chance its the thermostat but check for the electric fans coming on too,check the fan relay fuse etc..if it gets hot and you turn on the a/c the fans should go on and might bring the temp down if the fans arent coming on when you run it in the driveway and its at operating temp or...

Did you read the owners manual about this? I would like to guess that since its a diesel,The dpf light means that the DPF (Diesel Particulate filter) needs regeneration, meaning that there should be a switch you flip on with a engine symbol that will start the regeneration process,the engine...
