Updated the post with a few of the images that I was able to find. Also posting the install guide that I scanned in. It is copywrited material so if requested, I will pull it down. Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7

For those interested, this is now for sale: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123833469-CX-7-Dog-Guard It looks like I put the install images up on my Mac.com account and didn't back them up when Apple pulled them down. I was able to find Google Cache's copies, but they are all low...

CX-7 Dog Guard A few months back we traded in our CX-7 for something else, as such, I no longer have a need for the OEM dog guard. A few of you might remember my posts when I first got it of the installation. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123697110-Dog-Guard This will fit the...

Sorry for taking so long to respond, work has had me slammed. Are you talking to a dealership or are you talking to Mazda corporate in the UK? I called a dealership and spoke with the Parts Manager and the their boss. They were hesitant at first and I eventually ended up sending them a FedEx...

It's been a while since I did the plugs so I can't remember if there was a number on them but they were FoMoCo plugs (Motorcraft). They were $20 each from the dealer, which I sadly paid. Then my brother in law introduced me to http://sparkplugs.com/ only to make me feel that much worse for...

It's not a problem at all. My Bow Rider and trailer weigh in at around 2700lbs and I have yet to have a major issue hauling it out of the water. You might get a little wheel spin if you lay into the throttle, but if you are gentle and smoothly and slowly roll into the throttle you'll be fine...

With enough effort and ingenuity, anything can fit. The question to you is whether or not it is worth the time and effort. Will it bolt up, unless your CX-7 was built by Subaru, no. Can things be modified to fit, sure. Will you be able to revert 100% back to stock, most likely not. A...

The feeler post I put out a long while ago, I had maybe one or two people interested. Those quantities, production would have been way much more than buying it from the UK and ship it over as I did. Basically, I never pursued anything beyond initial discussions with my production vendors. If...

Picasa Link After digging through the code of the site, all they are doing is pulling the images from a public Picasa album. Further digging revealed the actual Picasa link. Main Album https://picasaweb.google.com/107683417929554915788 Album 1...

I understand the bulkiness. I did have to reduce what I keep in my wallet. As for cracking it, don't worry, I've had mine in my wallet for nearly 2 years now. I am on my 2nd key, but I don't think it is related to being stored in the wallet as my wife's failed in the exact same way first. As...

The purpose of the credit card sized key fob is to just put it in your wallet/purse and leave it. Use the little cap to turn the ignition switch. The Smart Key works off of a proximity sensor, To lock and unlock the doors, just push the little button on either front door or the rear hatch...

What?!?! 6-8 weeks to get the old oil out of the system?!?! Seriously? That service writer is an idiot. I'd talk to the service manager. You have 5 quarts of oil in the car not a few hundred barrels. It's not like the oil has a very long path through the engine. If they drained the oil...

There is a very common misconception about what a TSB is. All it is is specific instructions on how to fix a problem. There is nothing in a TSB that says it has to be fixed without charge to the customer. There are plenty of TSB's posted for every make and model of cars. When I had my RX-7...

What!! Manuals in front wheel drives are unusual and dangerous? Seriously? Have you not looked at most Honda Civics or VW Jettas and Golfs or Mazda Protege and 3s or similar? There are plenty of manuals in front wheel drive cars. I don't know where you are getting this dangerous from...
