I personally would go for Mazda OEM spark plugs as our Owners Manual (strongly) suggested. Although the OEM plug looks the same as NGKs but twice more expensive, I do remember some SkyActiv tuner (OrangeVirus Tuning?) says theyre different and its very important to use Mazda OEM plugs. Id at least try NGK, not Denso.
Just one DIY oil change I can make all the price difference back! (whistle)Yeah I actually ordered Denso's, returned, then ordered aftermarket NGKs. Engine hasn't blown up yet
At the cargo bay. I need something that can be removed when space is needed. I'm not a fan of under the seat sub because of time alignment issues.
It's out of the car because the sub blew (I removed a suspect battery cap) but mine sits over where the spare tire goes. Then I have another board to replace the upper portion so the rear is totally covered in OEM style. I used two door hinges and 2 metal straps to secure the box to the plastic trim at the tailgate, and the floor pan to keep it from hopping when hitting a bump etc. There is still storage space under the box (about 3-4") and behind it.
Awesome!!! I would like that too but I need dry inch in my cargo bay that's why I opted a removable sub. But your idea is perfect! Maybe in the future I would do that.It's out of the car because the sub blew (I removed a suspect battery cap) but mine sits over where the spare tire goes.
