    Xenon lights - horizon line

    It is absolutely normal. They're aimed that way so as not to blind oncoming traffic. Japanese beams would be the opposite.

    Does the CX-7 run a MAF?

    Total facts. You can do it, but it's not the right way.

    Got my Fullloaded CX-7 (CP-E Sponser!)

    NOTHING can void your warranty simply because you installed it. The laws don't work that way. However, if the part you installed causes a failure they won't honor your claim. Understand?

    Door Dings and Scratches

    So far I haven't had any other problems. I had the pellet wounds fixed. Which has brought up a ton of little stuff. I need to go back by the body shop. They screwed up some stuff they're gonna have to fix. ARGH!

    Compatible Parts from Other Mazda Models?

    Mustang air vents should fit and come in chrome I think. Same ones. True story.

    tires

    You're saying that I don't know what I'm talking about, but you backed me up by confirming the RS-A is a horrible tire. I wouldn't put a Goodyear on my car. Period. I've had several sets on several cars and have NEVER been happy. To each their own, I guess.

    Something is going on. I just had another check engine light. Supposed to be sorted this time for sure. GRRRR!!

    Door Dings and Scratches

    Some a-hats shot the drivers side of my CX with a pellet gun. Twice. Over $1500 in damage. Nothing but bad luck with this thing so far. GRRR!!!

    Tire Rotation Recommendation

    Modern radials can be reversed in direction. The stock tires (Goodyears at least) are a-symmetrical, not directional. You obviously wouldn't want to flip a directional tire. However, you can x-rotate modern radials. I work in the tire business and we rotate back to front. Cross rotating on an...

    Want to Buy Rear Seat Covers

    My wife and I bought one of the covers available at Petsmart before a recent trip. Wasn't made all that great, didn't fit close to correct, split seats unable to fold down, etc. However... it worked just enough to allow our dogs to no wreck the leather. Yup. Nothing perfect yet.

    Zoom decals?

    Ours is black. Wife doesn't want it on the car. I do. Somewhere. Maybe. I can't decide.

    Door Dings and Scratches

    So, I have a door ding on either side (bottom of drivers door and bottom of passenger rear door) a scratch on the rear bumper (thanks kid on bike playing too close after you were warned) and a scratch on the front right fender just ahead of the door from... something?! Grrr!!!! Between the...

    mazdaspeed cai will work or not??

    Any intake taking air from a source not directly inside the engine compartment is a CAI. Sort of.

    mazdaspeed cai will work or not??

    Is it actually a cold air intake or just a pipe with a filter that sucks ambient air from the engine compartment? The statement on that page of the engine being the same as the MS6 but slightly detuned isn't quite accurate. The turbo is a LOT smaller, also.

    My First Oil Change

    I'm not saying it will be a bad thing. It's not automatic. I guess you could call me superstitious. Likely you'll not have oil coke in the turbo because it's oil and water cooled. Even after you shut down the engine coolant is flowing a bit and keeping things cooler than not. Still, I always...

    tires

    There are currently about 6 choices in type of tire in your OE size. My car is equipped with the Goodyear Eagle RS-A. Scrap rubber? No. Sorry. Just because someone only gets crap miles on their Infinity doesn't mean it's a 'scrap rubber' tire. The Goodyear is superior to the Bridgestone in...

    My First Oil Change

    How many miles on the car? I never change to synthetic until 10k. Ever.

    Check engine light

    So far my CX has been in the shop almost 30 days. Owned it about 3 months. Several CELs. Two different gas caps. One tranny cooler. One windshield. So far the CELs have been due to the gas cap. First they blamed it on me. Then they replaced the cap. Then they replaced the cap again. For some...
