    Polyurethane Right-side Engine Mount--2.3L?

    Does anybody know of someone that makes a polyurethane replacement for the right-side engine mount on the 2.3L engine? I have the TRZ rear engine mount and the transmission mount but I can't find a more "solid" right side mount than an OEM replacement. Anyone know of any?!

    Waterproofing/Water-resisting your CAI

    Anybody have any luck with the AEM bypass valve? Saw that they make it for various intake tube diameters. http://www.*************.com/mazda3wagon.htm AEM claims that it makes your CAI system waterproof. I can't help but think that this valve would restrict or disrupt the smooth airflow into...

    Went to close the sunroof of my 6 today after getting home from washing it and the spring-loaded wind deflector got hung-up on something and didn't lower as the roof was closing.
