    Im new

    Under the hood? A new intake can yield gains, and headers, pricey but effective. I hear talk of motor mounts helping a lot.

    My foglight kit wouldn't fit.

    I am contacting the seller to get a refund. I really want to hear from someone who has installed fogs and know if their cover and fog matched and if they just slid in easy. I agree they seem to be a different size, when we tried putting them in they didn't seem to fill the hole either. The...

    My foglight kit wouldn't fit.

    I bout a 2004-2006 Mazda 3 fog light kit, i used a used oem mazda headlight/fog switch rather than wiring their switch. After getting my skidplate and everything else off, the fog lights didnt seem to match at all. The slots are in different holes. Has anyone installed aftermarket or oem fogs...

    Is My MAZDA3 Totaled? HIT A DEER!

    A dent in my 04 the size of a volleyball was $970 I wouldn't be surprised if they totalled it. That repair is probably 6k-8k. Needs an estimate.

    Battery unplug > Car acting different

    I thought so, I kept checking the fault codes and mode 6 to see if anything was different. All pretty much looks the same.

    Auto-x in HS class with a MZ3i sedan... model upgrade questions.

    Only advice I think I can add is that a 16" rim will provide slightly faster speeds with slightly lower grip. The reverse is true for 17" it will provide slightly lower speed and slightly higher grip. This is obviously due to weight of rim and increased size of tire. Of course aftermarket 17"...

    Battery unplug > Car acting different

    I unplugged my battery and started my car and it seemed a little odd. Idling was rough some, and at one point, a check engine light, and low oil light came on. They did go away. Is this natural? I had battery replaced 4 months ago and seemed not as drastic. I checked for fault codes none were there

    Mazda 3 2.3 liter gas mileage

    IMO the combination between 4 spd and Automatic is your problem. AT is losing out on about 8hp more then MT is. The more I drive my car the more I'm glad it's a MT. Check your Air filter, if it's dirty it could be restricting air and that will easily lower efficiency. Do you use cruise control...

    Wheelspin: Car or Tires?

    I take it easier in the wet and rain cause I know how easily it can happen. The tread on my tires is 6/16 so tread there is still some tread left. I'm definitely going to get new tires, does anything else other than driving style affect under steer? Like handling capabilities or...

    Wheelspin: Car or Tires?

    Heavily considering a traction bar to keep those all important front wheels to the ground on takeoff and hopefully heavy cornering
