    4th gen Mazda3, wireless charging on console issue (cupholders)

    Hi, I bought one of those wireless chargers after I saw the install on youtube: Mazda | Qi wireless CHARGER installation 🛠 🔋 📱 But our cars have cupholders with lids, it's a different set up. The cupholder won't mount to the wireless charger. It looks like other countries get cupholders...

    warning of red traffic light

    The other day I was driving and the car said something about the light signal turning red. I've had the car over 2 years and never heard it before (or since). Anybody else get a warning like that?

    headlight ajduster for lowered CX5

    I just saw this today... if you get a set of lowering springs you should get this too. I've already adjusted my headlights but I think this is a better way. https://corksport.com/mazda-head-light-level-adjuster.html

    slight shimmy

    It seems certain roads and when brakes are slightly applied I get a little shimmy. If I apply the brakes harder it goes away... and it doesn't happen on smooth roads (which are getting fewer and fewer nowadays). Rotated tires and still does it so I don't think it's the tires out of balance. I...

    more road/wind noise

    My '16 CX5 has 16,000 miles on it... did a 5 hour round trip drive today. Driving on the I5 thru the Central Valley of California, doing about 80 (flow of traffic) it seems the car is a lot louder than I remember it. Both wind & tire noise were getting really bothersome. Maybe I was just in the...

    New Rear Brakes at 10,000?

    My wife took the '16 in for that gas tank pipe recall today. When she picked it up they told her the back brake pads were getting low. I'd thought they would last around 15K and the front brakes would go first.

    stage 1 suspension on NB

    Hi, I just put a flyin Miata stage 1 suspension, with race beat front sway bar on my 99 Miata. Boy the rear sure does feel stiff, even on the softest setting. Sounds like the chassis flexes leaving driveways etc.. Anything I could of done to make the suspension bind up.. all looks normal but...

    255/50/19 tires?

    Anyone using this size? How about Continental DWS? Says it'll fit 7 to 9in rims... that's a lot of tire for stock rims (7in). I know it'll hurt performance but this car is not my performance car. It's the grocery getting, around town & occasional trip car that I want to look good going down...

    Ride Quality - Lowered Springs

    Hi all, I'd like to hear from those with lowered springs.. particularly H&R. Also, if on stock shocks or aftermarket. I've had Eibachs on most my cars but understand it's not sold here (and is not as low as H&R). Seen some negative remarks on Corksport; probably due to spring rate it has to...

    spacers for stock 19in wheels - sizes

    Just thought I'd show some pics of my stock wheels with spacers to make it more flush to the fender. I think 20mm on the front & 25mm on the back are just about right with the stock tires. The pics look like their in a little but the rims are really pretty flush (3rd one is best). I got them...
