I noticed recently when shifting to 1st-2nd that the shifter was hanging up 1/2 way between like it wanted to go into R without pushing down on the knob. I pulled off the gearshift cover and found out why. The shift lever has a metal pin on the left-hand side that's designed to prevent you from...

We're gonna do it again, since we had a great time last time: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3024763&postcount=5

Hey, Fellow Austinites, I know it's short notice but I was wondering if any MS3/6, MZ3/6, Miata, RX7/8 owners would be interested in a drive to the Wimberly / Canyon Lake area next weekend (Feb 24th). The plan is to meet around 9:30-9:45 at the Starbucks near Mopac & FM 2222. Have some coffee...

Both of these topics are news, and good news at the that. Here's the dyno: A very nice 15+ whp & 20+ ft/lbs gain for the $$. CP-E will supposedly have their CAI ready shortly after the MS-CAI comes out for another $500 bucks. Coincidence? I think not. Anyway, the CP-E ought to be worth the...

Anybody got one of these? Looks pretty good to me. I'm thinking about a steering column mount. I'd like to see what the stock mounting hardware looks like. I'm also wondering what else might be needed that's not included.

MS3 has dynoed 242hp/282tq, but needs a fan on the TMIC! As some may have noticed, I've been pushing the idea that the MS6/3 are dynoing lower than they should b/c people don't make an effort to get cooling air through the TMIC. Most of the time there's just a single big fan out front with the...

Hey, all. I know at least a couple you have done back-to-back test drives in these cars. But, as someone who probably has more combined miles in them than anyone else, I thought I'd do my own test drive on this quiet Sunday morning. I just took both cars on a route which includes some pretty...

Hey, anybody know at what point a dealer can cancel it's order for a car with Mazda? The reason I'm asking is a lot of people have given non-refundable deposits and I'm wondering if there is a point where a dealer would be stuck with a car ordered on the basis of a non-refundable deposit. This...

Alright, I finally picked it up. Nice and shiny and new. Pix to follow tomorrow. No problems at the dealership. The F&I guy was a motorcyle-riding MS6/DSM (450 hp) guy from SoCal. We talked for awhile about whether or not to use synthetic oil, wives who like/dislike motorcylces, and the...
