    Turbo Miata, or Supercharged Miata

    Could anyone flesh out the bolded shorthand of this post? Which exhaust manifold is better or best and how does that choice affect time to spool up? gt25 hotside and gt28 cool side and impeller: I assume he's talking before and after an inter-cooler, but "gt25..."? What does an FM kit consist...

    If you've been searching for window vent shades for your 2010 or newer mazda 3...

    From this link, you should be able to choose your car's body style (sedan or hatchback) and order them. They became available only during the past few days and I happened upon them yesterday after looking for the past year. http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/60A1230A0A0.aspx Hope this is...

    First service questions

    When I bought my 2010 Mz3 hatchback, the sales guy encouraged me to have my first oil change done at the dealership, telling me that it gives them a chance to check for any problems, etc. Now, the dealership is 65 miles from my house... not exactly convenient. I usually do all the oil changes...

    Widespread electrical issues

    The problem was the body control module. Cost was no charge. It feels great to have the car back. :)

    Widespread electrical issues

    There are two stickers on the firewall attesting to completion of "campaigns." I think that means these TSBs have been completed. The dealer called and the car is fixed. I did not take the phone call, but a single sensor was the cause. IIRC, the sensor in the bumper that fires the air bag(s)...

    Widespread electrical issues

    My SO delivered the car to the dealer for repair. On the way, she told me later, the A/C blew only hot air. Somewhere there's a thread on that....

    Who has the key FOB(switchblade)

    That's exactly what I'd like to do. I do not have the advanced keyless entry, so I should be good. Is a standard transponder key available at a locksmith, or do I have to go to a Mazda dealer? "that's cut to your car" Again, will a locksmith be able to do this, say from the key code? Not...

    Mazda3 pet peeve -- outer HVAC vents are circular, center HVAC vents are rectangular

    Starving children bother me. Mismatched air vent shapes do not.

    Who has the key FOB(switchblade)

    Do I have this correct? You can buy a key without FOB from the dealer, program it, and use it instead of the key with FOB attached to manually unlock the doors and operate the vehicle? If so, what is the programming procedure? My car is a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch. Thanks for any help.

    What do you want changed on the 2010.5 MS3

    Nice laundry list. Didn't you look at the car before purchase? As for the "smile," would you prefer mean eyes like on so many vehicles, or a menacing look like on the new Camaro? I want a six foot tall wing on the back.
