    FS: CorkSport LED brake light Mazda3 hatch (2010-13)

    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...

    SkyActiv spark plug options?

    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...

    SkyActiv spark plug options?

    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.

    Winter tires for CX-3 AWD

    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...

    WTB: OEM 16" steel wheels from '10-'13 Mazda3

    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...

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    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?

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    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...

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    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...

    '14 Mazda6 Wagon petition

    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...

    HVAC blower fan squeaking

    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...

    Replacement brake rotors/pads?

    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!

    HVAC blower fan squeaking

    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...

    Replacement brake rotors/pads?

    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...

    Steel wheels for Mazda2?

    I trust the build quality of the Unique 83 wheels, it's the lug-centric setup I'm not cool with. I ran these wheels last year and had vibrations all season, although mostly above 60mph. I always put my wheels on with the car on a lift and with a torque wrench in a criss-cross pattern, wheels...

    Steel wheels for Mazda2?

    Called Discount Tire Direct and the wheels I bought from them (Unique 83) cannot work with centering rings, great. Also found someone in the same jam on the Bob's The Oil Guy forums. They bought the Unique steel wheels for their Subaru and noticed vibrations right away due to the lug centric...

    Steel wheels for Mazda2?

    Yeah, I know I could go the route of finding a centering ring, but when I bought these I asked and was told that the wheels were lug-centric so they were not needed. These wheels were brand new from Discount Tire Direct and if they don't have a centering ring that will work I'm not sure who...

    Steel wheels for Mazda2?

    Hey everyone, quick question(s). Does anyone know of any hub centric steel wheels for the Mazda2 other than the 15" OEM ones that come on the Sport trim? I have a set of 14" steelies that I bought and they fit, sort of. The problem is that they are lug centric which can easily lead to vibrations...

    Getting a Mazda 2 this weekend, looking for last minute advice

    Congrats. The green really fits the personality of these little cars. You definitely went with the far better choice in transmission. The auto isn't necessarily bad, but it's also not very good and completely robs the engine's power in 2 and 3. The upside to the auto being a low tech (by today's...
