    Caliper paint

    Here it is! Took a lot of effort and back breaking hunched over the whole time! Did a total of 3 coats taking about 4hrs including time to take off all the wheels and cleaning the calipers. They're not anywhere near perfect if you look close up but I'm still super happy with the results! Sorry...

    Caliper paint

    Hey everyone! I did a quick search but didn't find much. Has anyone painted their brake calipers? Got this a few months ago and was saving it until I swap on my winter wheels/tires to do. Planning to do it this weekend and will share pics...

    2017 Signature lemon?

    Unfortunately not because the 1st time, I still had 120mi left and had it towed to the dealer. They claimed that it started up fine when they tried but the check engine gave them an odd code and after working with Mazda's tech support line, they advised them to replace the high pressure fuel...

    2017 Signature lemon?

    Yes, after spending 45k on the car, I can no longer afford to drive it! (cryhard) I part procrastinate and also plan/prefer certain gas stations along my route. This most recent time, I knew I had enough to drop family at the airport then swing by the gas station I frequent on the way home...

    2017 Signature lemon?

    Oh, here's some photos I finally captured from the most recent incident for proof in case they need it (yes, it was 3 degrees out!). I wish cars in this day and age would be more descript when they fail... all I got was a check engine light and battery light and a totally useless msg from the...

    2017 Signature lemon?

    1st stall - 120ish miles left on the tank 2nd stall - 6mi left 3rd stall - 18mi left Agree that you can't solely rely on the range indicator but it also shouldn't be THAT far off where your car flat out stalls before 0... In addition, when I got to the gas station on the 3rd stall, the range...

    2017 Signature lemon?

    Hi All, I got my first Mazda (2017 CX-9 Signature) this past August and have been super impressed with the driving dynamics and build quality! Unfortunately, I'm starting to think maybe I got a lemon... In October, it randomly stalled while I was on the highway and I had to have it towed to...

    Issues/Annoyances on 2017 CX-9

    First Mazda (previous had a 04 Santa Fe). I have a 2017 Signature and a few of my annoyances since getting it in Aug 17 are: -Can't open the hatch while in park unless I unlock the doors first -Doors don't auto unlock when in park -Proximity sensor to unlock doors (since you auto lock when you...

    To TINT or not to TINT?

    Here's mine w/35% tint in front. My old car had 20% and I miss it but also don't miss having a hard time finding a place that will pass inspection and risk getting pulled over (only got pulled over once in 13yrs and got a warning but still a valid risk nonetheless)...

    '16 CX-9 Cargo Liner

    This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07338M13F/?tag=m20b7-20 It cost a lot less than weathertech or the factory one and is quite good fit-wise. I think it's probably 2 inches short behind the 2nd row leaving a gap but I also feel like the 2nd row should be able to slide...
