Yesterday, while driving with the fan on high (setting 4) - everything was fine until I tried to reduce the fan to 3m, or 2 or 1, or even OFF. All settings cause the fan to be ON full power. I initially thought this would be related to a blower motor resistor pack - but even when switched OFF -...

Koni Sport Adjustable shocks - with pics Looks like this weekend is gonna be nice, giving me a chance to install my Koni Sport (yellows) on my 2004 Mazda3...(cabpatch) I'll be armed with a camera too, so if anyone wants to see a pic of anything specific - just ask. (uhm)

Anyone know what the OEM Mazda3 Sport (hatch back) spring rates are? I was able to find the Mazdaspeed 3 spring rates, but I am interested in the mazda 3 rates. Just curious - someone's gotta know. Please post both the rates and your source if possible. Much appreciated.

My buddy is selling this... Check it out.. I know it's not Mazda related, but it's interesting none the less http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&item=180009883876&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

There has been a ticking sound coming from my engine compartment for the past few days... I noticed it one day, and then the next day it seemed to be gone... After listening for it, it seems this noise was only present when the car was warm (operating temp). When cold, there was no noise at...

Thought I'd share some pics of what a Pioneer AVIC-N1 looks like in a Mazda 3. I know I was concerned about how well it would integrate into the dash, and weather or not it would stick out far beyond the dash (I have seen these decks in Cavaliers and they usually stick out about 1" from the...

If you would like your sunroof to work all the time (with or without the key), there is a pretty simple modification that can be done.. 1. Remove the 7.5 amp sunroof fuse (located in passenger side kick panel) There is a 20 amp and a 7.5 amp fuse labeled as "Sunroof Only remove the 7.5 amp...

I just installed my Canuck Motorsports Lowering springs... They look and ride great. They are 15% more firm that stock, and have a drop of 1.75". Another important detail... these bad boys cost me a total of $168.80, that's after tax, shipping and shipping insurance = (that's $136.758 USD)...

After installing upgraded speakers and a 4 channel amplifier (no subwoofers), I have been plagued with door rattles and unwanted resonance. I have not added any dynomat (or the like) yet and was hoping to able to free myself of the vibration woes without purchasing the costly sound deadening...

I was wondering if anyone can help me out here... I have a 4 window roll up module attached to all 4 power windows, and need to figure out a way to hook up a window roll up module to the sunroof.. Does have a wiring diagram for the sunroof? Or better yet, know which wires I can use to make...

I made my own version of a short shifter today. Took about 30 minutes and works great Basically, I used the factory shifter, shortened the overall length of the rod, and raised the location where the cable attaches to so it not only is a shorter shifter, but the throw has been reduced as well...

Kinda ugly with the winter rims.. but it definatly looks like it's ready for winter!

Thoughts on these?

I have a small technical difficulty that hopefully someoen can shed some light on. Here's the situation. On a cold winter morning, I would like to be able to start my car in my driveway, then run back inside my house for 5 minutes while it warms up. The problem is that the car won't let me...

Anyone running a power wire through the firewall might find this useful. In the engine compartment, just below the brake booster there is a white plug. This white plug plugs a hole that appears as though it may be used for a throttle cable. Since my car (2.3 liter) has drive by wire...

anyone even heard of this company? Couldn't find any real specs on the website.. but the price sure is right Canuck Motorsports

I've read that several people have changed their springs to higher rate and/or progressive rate springs. Do you not find that your suspension setup is now under damped without also changing the shocks? I find the stock shocks and stock springs to be a fairly good match for decent comfort with...

I love my Mazda 3 as much as the next guy (if not more), but I am continually annoyed by the fact that I can't close the windows or sunroof once the ignition is switched off. I bet theres a simple wiring solution to this! If someone with the skills and wiring diagram has a chance, there is...

I've seen a very detailed "how to" on how to perform a circuit delete on a P5 to gain full control of the A/C system. I may be a bit of a control freak, but I prefer being in total control of when the A/C system is activated. For us M3 owners, the A/C light doesn't even come on when the system...

Is it possible to bypass the ABS feature without setting a CIL? This is a little early to be asking, but I'd rather modify it in the summer, than tinker with it in the sub-zero temperatures of the winter. Thanks in advance for all your feedback/thoughts (drive)
