I caught a rock with my drivers side fog light on my MS3 and broke it. Mazda wants $300 for a replacement. "Replacement" makes a direct fit replacement for $150. I can't imagine any after market kits (not oem replacement) looking quite right on the car, but I haven't seen any. Soo.. Has...

Alright, smartass.. the stock speakers in the sport are 4 ohm.. period. (just looked at the ones that came out of my sport) The stock speakers in the GT with the bose system are 2 ohm. Only thing else I really have to say is go **** yourself with your e-cock waving attitude, you don't have a...

Ummmmm... Sorry but it does. Run the same power at the same volume level to a speaker with low power ratings and one with high power ratings, the speaker with the lower ratings will be louder. Why do you think DaleNixons infinity's wouldn't get that loud??? Other variable that would affect...

Me! I even ran my stickies for the first time earlier this month. Even though I couldn't get much heat in them, still much better than anything else I've ran. As for the Azenis in the winter, I never really noticed a big traction loss, I mean my times were always still in line compared to...

I hear ya. Mines a Sport too, but it's the 08.5. If someone came out with a dash kit that was that piano black, I'd be all over it. Curious though, were you able to get the steering wheel controls going with the new HU? I know there's kits to make that work, just never had any first hand...

That's why you don't want to get high power speakers for the stock HU, just can't get the volume out of them without more power. At first I was gonna go with a aftermarket HU, but with the piano black trim in my car, I just couldn't convince myself to do it with the dash kits available.

Ok, I have the sport as well.. I replaced all the door speakers, made a huge difference, sounds great. I need to replace the tweeters as well though. When shopping for speakers I shopped for speakers with lower power handling since I know the stock HU doesn't put out that much. (using speakers...

There's just one place I do it.. turning on to my road, it's gravel and has big holes I have to go very very slow over. I downshift from 2nd when turning on to this road going a couple mph. The whole idea about wearing out the synchros though... I mean that's what they're there for and I am by...

Sounds like friends dad didn't wire something correctly. Glad it didn't deploy the airbags or anything crazy like that. That would be a mess.

I personally like them better. Had great results with them.

She's not a monster. She can't even reach the door handle!

Guys, the car doesn't lock you out of 1st and you don't have to force it. Try this next time you get the chance. Driving along at a speed that 1st is atleast capable of simply push the shifter up towards first and hold it there, it doesn't take much, don't force it. You'll hear the synchro (i...

Wide Open Throttle

That would be great! They should make pop-up book repair manuals... could you imagine the possibilities!?

That usually only happens if the tire pressure is a lil low. The problem went away with all previous cars I've had that experienced that when I put some air in the tires. Haven't felt it on this car, but I'm always on top of my tire pressures since I autocross monthly.
