    O2 Sensor Problems Again!

    Yes I have the latest PCM updates and the latest and greatest gas cap. Actually I am not fixated on the O2 sensor. I suspect that something else is killing it. What that is who knows??? It doesnt even trip the MIL light. I would be more than happy if they could fix it right. Lets just say...

    O2 Sensor Problems Again!

    I have replaced O2 sensors in older cars before. I also understand their function. That was until the first time it was replaced. I was told by Mazda that the sensor that is used in the CX-7 is a new type of sensor that does more than just check the emission levels. (uhm) Maybe that is why...

    O2 Sensor Problems Again!

    Has anyone had their O2 Sensor replaced yet? The car will hesitate under accelleration. Almost as if someone is tapping the brake. This happens in all gears. If you give it very light throttle it wont do it. I had the sensor replaced the first time in December. It started doing it again...

    Difference with Electroluminecent gauges

    I wonder if the light can be added to the Sport model? Kind of like adding rear speakers to the MX-5 Sport. The wiring and plugs were there waiting for speakers...

    2006 MX-5 Steering Wheel Installed

    It does, but my CX-7 Sport has a plain black hard plastic steering wheel. The one I put on is off of a MX-5 GT. It is leather with silver inserts on the three spokes. Matches my MX-5 now. BTW the silver inserts do match the silver trim in the car and it uses the same airbag. The guy who...

    2006 MX-5 Steering Wheel Installed

    I had the steering wheel installed last week. It took the guy about 5 to 10 minutes to do. I think the only special tool you need is a steering wheel puller. You can rent one for free from AutoZone. You don't even need to disconnect the battery. Everything plugged right in. It is the exact...

    aftermarket support

    I think it will take some time before we see much support from the aftermarket. There needs to be enough cars on the road so that they can recoup their R&D costs and turn a profit. Mazda sold 3,421 CX-7's in December. That said, the more we demand support the better our chances will be. I...

    JDM Foglights

    $198.46 is a really good price. That is cheaper than buying the US OEM kit. I wonder what the shipping will be? I think the "multicoat" is suppose to give you better visiablity in low light conditions. Let us know how the install goes? Here is a link to the instructions for the US kit...

    Compatible Parts from Other Mazda Models?

    I looked into it a little bit this morning. They look similar but a few differences I was able to find from pictures are. The Mustang has indentations instead of dots at the top. Could just be cosmetic. Also look at the CX-7 vents by the doors. They appear to have an extra fin compared to...

    2006 MX-5 Steering Wheel Swap Alright, I have a guy at work who is going to do the swap for me next week. I plan take some pictures. If all goes well, and it is easy, I will do a write up in the "How To Section". BTW I got the steering wheel off of eBay for $15.50! I think they retail for...

    Compatible Parts from Other Mazda Models?

    I just got it yesterday. I will let everyone know how the install goes. It should be pretty easy. The airbag is controlled by a sensor in the front of the car not at the steering wheel. The steering wheel has two plugs on it. One for the airbag and then a little 2 wire plug for the...

    Mazda CX-7 spotted on display in Osaka!

    Mazda has a way of doing that to you. I feel the same way about my MX-5. I have had a 96 Miata, 99 10th Anniversary Miata, 06 MX-5, and now a CX-7. They have all gave me that same feeling through the years. :)
