My door locks have recently started "acting up" where they occasionally won't lock and/or unlock via remote or using the door switches. When I try, I do hear a clicking coming from somewhere in the passenger foot area, so the relays are working - the locks just don't function. And then, they...

Like the title says, I have an '05 Mazda 3 with manual transmission. 44k miles, but has been doing this for the last 5k miles. I am getting a small metallic clink or "tink" sound coming from somewhere outside the car. It's a higher pitch clink - kinda like the sound you'd get if you were to...

Hey all, just wanted to say that if you have a 2003/2004 Alpine HU that the Alpine KCA-420i iPod adaptor DOES work even though the literature and a Crutchfield tech said it wouldn't work. My deck is a CDA-9815. I think you just need to make sure you have a Ai-Net capable deck. The 420i unit...

Hello, I have a lot of weight in the hatch (stereo gear) and the back end sags about 1/2"-1" lower than the front. I never had any problems with bottoming out with the stock tire setup (once the TSB for the plastic thing in the fender was done). But now, I have some 225/40R18 wheels and it...

Before I post the sale, I was just curious if there was a market for 5 month old OEM tires (205/50R17)? They have a little over 7k miles on them. I just installed Blizzaks on the stock rims and the tire place said they'd take them and just sell them (and keep the cash of course). I figure I'd...

Anyone have any trouble with their seat belt latch mechanism? I've recently started having trouble getting the tab to click into the latch, and then when I wiggle it around , it will snap into place. Then, removing it is fun too. I spent about 5 minutes in the car the other day getting it to...

I don't really know where to put this thread, but here is as good as any, so here goes: I recently finished installing my stereo system and now I find the rearview mirror slowly adjusts itself down so I am looking at the rear seat. Obviously, this happens from the vibration of the sub. And no...

Did a search, but didn't find the information I was looking for... Anyway, I'd like to increase the power a little. After reading several posts here, I'm trying to decide between installing a SRI (specifically this one), or just removing the resonator and using a drop-in K&N air filter. I'm...

Not sure if this really should be in the "How-To" section, but a mod can move it if needed. I just installed the PAC SWI-X steering wheel audio control adaptor to control my aftermarket Alpine deck, and I figured I'd explain how it went for those who want to try it. The application guide for...

I did a search around here but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I'd like to get a set of winter tires with el cheapo steel wheels for winter driving. All the online places I've looked only list alloy wheels. I've visited a couple local tire shops and they say it's not possible. I...

Just got my new 3 last week (Lava Orange HB) and LOVE IT! Spent lots of time researching cars and finally decided on the 3 and not regretting it. This site has been really nice in finding answers to some questions regarding upgrading. I just thought I'd share my experience. One of the first...
