    Turbocharger information that was a bit alarming...

    "Turbo timers"- no such thing as a boost timer. I'm surprised this is still needed for modern turbos- even on my heavily modified Supra and EVO (years ago), turbo timers were useless with water cooled turbos.

    Cx 9 captain chairs?

    LOL@ the people picking on the guy because he wants captains chairs. I also want them: They are convenient for getting in and out of the car and if you have two kids and want to put another person in the back- it's a lot easier with the captains chair's. If they can be swapped out w/a newer...

    Motor Trend MAZDA CX-9 LONG-TERM UPDATE 5: HOW THE INTERIOR IS HOLDING UP

    That's a simple piece to wrap w/carbon or whatever your choice of vinyl wrap color is. Try wrapping the interior of a Nissan GT-R, that was HELL.

    Valve stem replacement 2017 cx9

    I have a 2017 cx9 signature that had metal valve stem caps on it when I purchased it. As you may know, they corrode and the only way to remove them is with heat or cutting the caps off. While cutting them off, 3 of the valve stems were damaged and look horrible. I want to replace them like I...

    Anyone Here Get Their 2.5T Tuned Yet?

    I agree with everything you said there, Cessna. I have no intention of tuning my cx9- it's a 4300lb SUV w/a 4 banger. Even I made 50+ tq/hp, the difference would be minuscule and wouldn't make sense from a risk/reward perspective.

    Anyone Here Get Their 2.5T Tuned Yet?

    Tuning isn't some sort of "black magic" or anything very complicated. I have owned more than a dozen cars that have been custom tuned to include my current Supra and GT-R. There is no reason you need to wait for months to do logs or rinse and repeat if you have a piggyback or ECU that works...

    '16 CX-9 Remote Start?

    Great, I don't think I'll be doing the underhood grounding (if you're referring to the hood latch). I'll be the only one working on the car. The only other question I have is whether both remotes are necessary to program the remote starter? My 3 year old is a level 100 thief and has managed...

    Moved From 2017 Signature to 2018 Signature In 4 Months

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I actually love the front end of the cx9 but the rear is "so so". That being said- I respect your opinion. I purchased the car for the wife at auction for about $15k under the dealer price at the time for '17's, but she doesn't drive it (she prefers the...

    Moved From 2017 Signature to 2018 Signature In 4 Months

    I'm guessing this guy isn't playing with a full deck of cards. Makes a non logical decision to hose himself financially, then spends 4 hours on an inspection and quibbles over non issues. LOL. But whatever makes you happy, I suppose. I'm sure you can really feel the difference in those...

    Anyone Here Get Their 2.5T Tuned Yet?

    They are "fly by night", and they have ignored any questions regarding the 2.5 skyactiv tune. I volunteered my 2017 several times.
