Guys, Did you guys get bolts for the rear license plates that actually bolt up in the trunk lid holes. The dealer gave me some wood screws with an obviously very different thread. Thanks, Ric

Where did you get the Mazda sunshade and how much? Ric

What's the part number for the new system? Thanks, Ric

Anybody?

BPV sold! CP-E Intake still available...$180 shipped!

Whoa....guess I forgot that, huh?!?! $180 for the CAI $100 for the BPV Sorry about that. Rick

I just traded my CX-7 for a 2009 Corvette, so obviously I have no use for these parts anymore. -Forge BPV (black) with less than 5k miles on it -CP-E CAI with less than 4k miles on it I live in St Robert, MO 65584 I take cash, checks or money order. Sorry, no paypal. ricardo_remesal@yahoo.com

Last Wix I had was distorted. The ones I used before did not have a problem.

Grantman, So, you now have a downpipe without the first cat and a midpipe without the second cat, correct? What do you have for a muffler....stock? Your car must be fast as heck!

If you want to drive conservatively, you need to keep the RPMs below 2500. That alone will bring your MPGs up quite a bit. Anything above that and you are hurting your wallet big time. I consistently get 20-21 MPGs all "light" city driving, with the occasional WOT run....I don't want the car to...

Cool! I'll go check it out.

I saw better mileage on 87-89 in the winter than with 93. I saw better performance with 93 during the hotter months. I agree with your statements. Rick

Well, I totally agree with techspeaks comments. The thing most people here need to understand is the total control the ECM has on these cars. The minute the computer detects something "weird" it shuts the throttle partially or completely; not to mention timing, fuel, etc. The best way to...

Likely the smartest, most informed post in this whole thread! Thanks for your input. Rick

Whoa! I like those paited wheels. How or who did that for you?

Thank you for reporting this Nash! It confirms my beliefs that under normal to moderate driving, the CX-7 will do ok with 87 or 89 octane gas. For max performance though, 93 should be used, especially in the summer months. Also, with crude oil at $130/barrel, I suspect more and more people here...

BTW, the best solution to this problem is to spend the $50 or so and retrofit to "old" style metal can filters. Rick

I think between the pressure put on the filter by the compressed spring plus the frictional forces when turning the cap, the filter is unable to prevent twisting. There is nothing there to prevent the media from twisting. The center core, in my opinion does nothing because the filter would never...

Cool beans! Are you going to post it at BITOG?

Ed, The Motorcraft made filter DOES have a center support, still that didn't prevent the filter from twisting. I installed a Wix, just like the one shown above. To be honest, I don't think the center support is going to help this issue. The filters are "twisting"......not collapsing. I think...
