I'm selling a "like new" LED 3rd brake light by CorkSport for the Mazda3 hatch (2010-2013, non-MazdaSpeed). This is a quality made product and is no longer carried by CorkSport. Just a very simple plug-n-play install that uses the same socket as the stock incandescent bulb, no tools required...

Thanks, although I across that thread before, still looks like the jury's out on whether or not OEM plugs are the only option for the 2.0 Sky-G. I'm wondering if anyone who has gone the aftermarket route is experiencing normal engine behavior and mileage. Looking for anyone who has to chime in...

Has anyone changed their spark plugs yet and gone with an aftermarket plug? If so, how has your experience been vs. the OEM Mazda plugs that came with the car? I'm considering a set of Denso Iridium TT's or Champions compatible with the 2.0 Sky-G. Thanks in advance.

A little late on the reply but we went with 205/65-16 Falken Eurowinters on 16" aftermarket wheels. That size tire on a 16" wheel has almost the same rotational diameter as the stock 18" setup which is kind to the drivetrain and doesn't mess with the speedometer accuracy. Just had to reset the...

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy a set of the OEM 16" steel wheels that come on the 2nd generation Mazda3. I'm looking for 4 that have lower miles on them or in really good condition. I already have tires so just the wheels would work. I'd like to still use the OEM TPMS sensors I have and the...

So is there anyway at all to get around the resume playback issue using the USB connection? For instance: if you pause or power down the iPod before turning off the car, and then turn the car back on and power up the iPod, will it resume where it left off?

Question for those with the 2013 CX-5: Does the USB connected iPod correctly resume playback if you turn off the car, unplug the iPod and then turn the car back on and plug the iPod back in? I always take my iPod out of the car and was wondering if the resume function works only if the iPod...

Does anyone know if the resume playback from USB connection confined to only models with the Tech package or all head units other than the unit in the Sport trim for the CX-5? I'm going to be getting a '14 CX-5 GT without the Tech package by the end of summer or early fall regardless. I'm a...

Hey guys, Just wanted to let you guys know that there is a petition going on change.org to bring the completely cool '14 Mazda6 wagon to the States/Canada. I honestly think this is one of the best looking wagons in history, if not the best looking FWD wagon of all time. Honda took a little risk...

Just got back from the dealership. They checked it out and said that it was debris, so something positioned just right to be rubbing up against the fan and causing a clicking when running and a squeak when shutting off. They said that they could take everything apart but it would be a multi-hour...

Sorry for the late reply, thanks. Yeah, I've heard good things about EBC and Hawk, just not sure what rotors and pad combos work the best. I'll have to keep the GD's in mind, not sure if they offer them across the pond in the states. By the way, really cool that you have a 323 GTR, must be a blast!

Wondering if anyone has experienced any squeaking/squealing from the HVAC fan in the Mazda2. Today, out of nowhere, the fan started making some squeaking (like a bad bearing) and I tried messing with the fan speed to see if I could get the noise to go away, to no avail. I pulled out the cabin...

I know there has been much discussion on the cruddy OEM brake/rotor combos that come on our Mazda2's and I'm wondering if anyone has switched to any aftermarket rotors/pads/calipers and what has been your experience with certain brands? I'm not simply interested in pads, as the stock rotors...
