    Goodbye CX-7, Hello Mazda6

    Don't hate on me. I traded the CX-7 on a new Mazda6. I'm sorry to see the CX go. It's a HOSS! I'm still on the forum, just with a different ride. I've got 11 (eleven) miles on the odometer.

    Muffler/resonator paint

    Has anybody tried painting that huge muffler/resonator, or whatever it's called. It's clearly visible from the rear of the vehicle, and mine's starting to discolor. If so, what paint did you use, and how's it holding up to the heat?

    Detonation (knock)

    I made it happen. After hearing of it, and being skeptical, I finally made it happen in the CX-7. My skepticism was probably fostered by my knowledge that the vehicle has a knock detector that would sense preignition, and cut power. The chain of events is this: 1. 10 miles of expressway...

    A ticket

    A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir." The driver says, "Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating." Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: "Now don't be silly dear, you know...

    Tire Rotation Recommendation

    The CX-7 Manual (8-28) recommends tire rotation in a semi- X pattern. This brings rear tires to front on the same side, and fronts to rear on opposite sides than their last positions. When done in this fashion, the direction of rotation of the tires that were on the rear is reversed. I have...

    Gas Price Prophesy

    I think GW must have bought a CX-7. Gas prices started going down shortly after they became available, and their gas mileage and premium requirements became a concern. Some people think that the gas prices are tied to Bush'd approval rating and the upcoming mid-term election. Here's your...

    Air Intake Baffle (Silencer) removal

    Here's how to remove the air baffle (silencer) that's beneath the air filter in the air box on the CX-7. Its removal seems to smooth out the power band, increase the power, and (heehee) make it sound better. The improved efficiency may improve the gas mileage. Look at the air filter box...

    Better air flow

    Removing the baffle under the air filter seems to smooth out the power band, increase the power, and (heehee) make it sound better. I wonder if it helps gas mileage.

    Sport Auto Tranny Downshift at Stop

    If you're gonna flame me for this question, then take a number, and get in line. (chair) I've noticed that when driving in the manual mode, and rolling to a stop, the tranny will automatically downshift. This is as it should be, and I understand that part. The question I have is about what...

    Virginia Sighting

    Came up behind a CX-7 Black Cherry in Fredrecksbuirg on Highway 3 at the Central Park Mall today (Monday at about 6:30 pm.) Had a tow package. The folks in the other lanes of traffic were pointing at our two CX-7's almost side-by-side. Never got to pull all the way up alongside. That's the...

    Booster Seat this Weekend

    I've got my three year old granddaughter for a 900 mile road trip thru Sunday. Alas, the CX-7 gets its first fitting for a booster seat, and I've got to drive all those miles like I've got some sense. OH, the agony!!!!!!

    Wipers look ice resistant

    Anybody notice the wiper arms look as if they're designed to resist icing? I know that's not what's on everybody's mind in 100 degree heat, but let's see what December brings.
