I just got the Cobb APv3. Great device but the mounting bracket it comes with is weak. It's a thin layer of 3M tape. Fly paper is stickier! Aside from a cheap mounting bracket I'm pretty impressed. I am using a smartphone dash mount (aDURO U-Grip) until I can find something better. In some...

Update: I checked the connector of the OCV and it was lose. I snapped it in, cleared the code with the AP and no more check engine light! Score for Mazda247 and Cobb! Now...am I Stage2+Supported Intake+TIH+IC 93 OCT ready after I drive several weeks on Stage 1?

Update: I have since installed the Autotech internals and it resolved my WOT issues. Runs like a beast, but I threw an engine code indicating the ECU was "retarding" the Fuel Output (Stock ECU Map). Engine check light would come and go. I just purchased the Cobb APv3 thinking this would place...

Since the AP vs. Hypertech is a bit more in cost, but the AP records as you said, might as well vest there as it has more bells. A Hypertech with DashHawk would be $800 bills (new). So the AP might be less overall and more feature rich when compared to a Hypertech (apples to apples). I'm just...

Thanks for the insight magicka! Would a COBB AP or Hypertech show me data logs like a DashHawk will? What HPFP would you recommend? When you say it should be tuned are you suggesting that I flash the ECU with a AP as an example or take to a shop where someone can mechanically tune? Sounds like a...

I have a 2008 Speed3 GT with 94K and experienced this last night. I was in 6th and dropped it down to 4th and the engine misfired. When I threw into 5th it misfired again. I backed off and eased into it and it was fine. My issue is the same as nolacola. Oddly, I had the 90K tune up and installed...

Just installed the Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable for MP3 or SmartPhone, including iPhone 4S from Amazon for $8 with a Sirius Starmate and it works perfectly. No more ground loop! Thanks micronesia and icspots!

I believe you are right micronesia. I found this on another forum: Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable for MP3 or SmartPhone, including iPhone 4S. Amazon has it for $8. I just ordered. Once recieved I'll test it out and post update.

If I plug a satellite radio, a smartphone or any device (shuffle, iTouch, iPad) into the AUX Port while charging it through either Cigarette lighter (using an adapter) - center dash or center console - I am getting playback distortion through the speakers. When I unplug the device from the...

Nice looking Speed!

I did consider the Koni Yellow Sports and wanted to do it all around, but $700 shells was a bit steep at this time considering that I dropped a good chunk of change on the other items / maintenance. Failed to mention and is probably driving some of my disappointment; while in shop and doing the...

The 60K service is basically the same as the 30K and is what is in the owners manual. As to having to replace rear shocks at 60K is disappointing. I get the fact that we own sport tuned cars, stiff suspensions and what not, but having own many other cars this was the earliest of all vehicles...

Issue was identified as a blown driver side rear shock. Had both rear shocks replaced today and the noise has gone away.

1. Installed polished ETS TMIC - loving it! 2. Replaced both rear shocks as the driver side rear was blown. Wasn't happy about that at all since I only have 64K on the vehicle. 3. Had the 60K maintenance done (it's like getting wallet raped) 4. Had a TPMS sensor replaced as it was leaking. 5...

SU and I were able to work through a viable compromise. I am going with the ETS TMIC in a polished finish. The unit should arrive later in the week. According to ETS there should be a gain of 20 horses. Right now I have SU Boost Tubes, a Turbosmart BPV, COBB SRI, COBB Turbo Inlet Tube, SURE...
