    Any way to use a flip/switchblade key on '07 3/MS3?

    Well...a search for 'key' didn't bring anything up. I have 2 of the switchblade key fobs from my 06 Mazda5 that was totalled. Does anyone know if there's a way to program these key fobs to work with my 07 MS3?

    FS: Full set of Mazda5 floor mats

    These are from my crashed up 5. The car had about 15,000 miles on it when it got wrecked. They're in good shape. See the pics for the small spot where the threads are loose on the very rear mat, and the small spot on the passenger side mat. If your car is still under bumper to bumper warranty...

    CO MS3 owners, registration costs?

    Paperwork for my car isn't ready yet, but the DMV lady says it's gonna be over $800. I think she's full of s***. I'd like to know what you guys paid for your license plates, and if possible, a break down of the different taxes and taxable value. A scan of the registration would be awesome...

    HOW TO: Change your own oil

    Note: I originally posted this in the Mazda5 section, but it's been confirmed that the procedure is the same for the Speed3, and I would guess the N/A 3. ------------------ 9/29/07: Another note, it's recommended to replace the crush washer on the drain plug. It's an aluminum washer that is...

    Well....in case you guys care....

    Most of you saw the thread where my Mazda5 got creamed. Left the dealer today with something else. Just a few pics before I drove it off the floor. It was already dark by the time I left, so maybe more pics tomorrow after I warsh it up.

    FS: USED OEM Foglights for Mazda5

    These were on my Mazda5 for about 18,000 miles before it got totaled. I'm not sure if the sport model has wiring in place for the foglights, but I figured someone would want to pick up a set for a project. I saw them on fleabay for $200 + $25 for shipping (or there about). These show signs of...

    Waiting on a new 3 GT HB

    I was out looking for a cheap commuter last weekend. I've been looking ever since my GF got in a wreck. (See here http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123660294) I was looking at used SVT Focuses, because she likes the look of the Focus HBs from 02-04, but it was hard to find anything...

    What do you think of these wheels?

    I had a guy do a real quick chop on the 5 with these wheels. The only reason I'm tempted is because I can get the set for $399 shipped. 17x7, forged Motegis. 14 LBS EACH!!

    24 Season 6, trailer tomorrow 10/23, Times Square

    Fox will be releasing the trailer for the upcoming season of 24. For you New Yorkers, you can catch it on the ginormous screen in Times Square, the rest of us will have to see it live on the Fox website. If there's one show I can get excited about 3 months in advance, 24 is it.

    Loss of nav with aftermarket stereo?

    Does anybody have any confirmation of this? According to the Crutchfield site, Nav is lost when replacing the stock stereo. I would think that the only thing lost would be the voice directions. And that could probably be resolved with some creativity.

    2006+ Mazda5 Maintenance Tasks: Do It Yourself

    Some people would rather pay the dealer or a quick change place to go through the trouble of getting the dirty stuff out, and clean stuff in. For those that would rather not trust the local Grease Monkeys, here's what you'll need to do: What you'll need: 17mm socket 10mm socket or nut driver...

    Suspension part numbers....any parts employees?

    I know the 5 shares many underpinnings with the 3, but I'd like to know exactly what they share as far as suspension components. Does anyone work or know someone that could cross reference part numbers to see exactly what is interchangeable. I'd like to know what aftermarket parts could be used...

    Got rearended today.....

    Typical stop and go rush hour traffic conditions. Not too fast. I stopped, the old man in the Dakota behind me didn't seem to want to stop all the way. I'm not sure of his speed, but it was one of those things where he was trying to stop, but just couldn't. It snapped my neck back pretty good...

    So what's the deal with this car?

    Who is mostly driving this? I haven't seen one on the road yet. Older? Younger? Kids? None? My story: My girl and I were going to the mall, and on the way is a Mazda dealership. Just on a whim, I pulled in last minute, I wanted to see if they had a Speed 6. I just wanted to take a look, because...
