That would be your VVT actuator, or something like that (I can't recall)....There's a recall on it...Check it out. That's what it was for my car

Try out SenSen. I've heard rave reviews on this site. I think it's only shocks though. But you shouldn't need springs, the stockers should be OK. It's a Mazda 5 part number, so be sure to look that up. It works for Speed 3's.

Tails won't fit a 2011. Made for 2007-2009 only

How much to ship to West Kelowna, BC, Canada...postal code V1Z 1S1? I want first dibs on this

If you can ship them to Canada free, I'll take them....Let me know. I can pay you immediately

The only thing you have to do is splice the stock amp turn-on wire with the wiring harness one. Everything else is standard stuff. I got a double din Alpine in my car and it was uber straight forward install. Other than the navi hook ups and bluetooth mic.

100,000 MILES??? For an 07? Jesus...I have 70,000 KM on my 07 and I thought that was a bit much

What I would do is...Take a precision flathead screwdriver, pry off the button. After said button has come off, I would "flick with my finger" the exposed part of the radio that the button has come from, to make sure that it is operating freely. If it is, put button back on and try it...

No offence....But, that is the ugliest ******' thing I've ever seen!

The turbo back exhaust would help you in the downpipe and mid pipe area. After that, it's just plainly "wasted money". If you're hell bent on upgrading the exhaust, get a midpipe first. You can get one used for around $100

Without getting too carried away, I would go with a CAI and a test pipe. Fairly cheap options with hugely noticeable gains. Particularly, the CAI. No need for tuning and you would notice immediate HP gains and a nice "whoosh" sound from your BPV. After that, maybe a downpipe. But then you...

Cut off both resonators and get 2.5" pipe welded in. It will save you a ton of money and will sound just the same. You will not get any performance gains from going to a HKS or CNT or any other exhaust. If you want the sound, chop the reso's. Our cars come stock with a 2.5" exhaust, so...

My stock shifter (and fluid) also provide a nasty "grind" or "reluctance" to go into 2nd gear when cold. I've read a few stories about that with our cars. Every other gear is fine, just second. Weird!!

I must agree with the swaybar answer.....I had some pretty nasty noises coming from my stocker before I replaced it with a Progress sway bar. Now I've only got a few squeaks in the wintertime to attend to.

Ahhhhhh...The Great Debate!!! It simply comes down to whether you are riding on stock springs or not. If you have lowering springs installed, you need to go with the Koni Yellows. The Bilsteins are mainly for improved handling while at stock height. Not really meant for lowering... Hope it...
