I stopped driving my car 5 days a week after my wife stopped working, which is pretty much 2nd half of 2016 up to 2017. So I was driving my car maybe 2-3 days every weekdays and it would sit in the garage on the weekends. Texas weather also seems to be tough on batteries, what with the extreme...

Does anyone here use one? Are they worth it or is it better to just buy a new battery? I've got an Optima YellowTop battery. I can't remember exactly, but I think I have been using it for 2 years or so now. Winter has brought some pretty cold temps to Texas and on some days I've noticed that I...

I actually have copies of the Corksport OTS maps. PM me your email address and I can send them to you later tonight.

Oil change, tire rotation and new cabin air filter last Saturday. @PadreDave why did you have to uninstall your accessport? I'm running a Corksport OTS map and I'm getting very good mpg, 22-24 mpg. That mpg is as good as a stock tune, with a little more response and power with the OTS map. Once...

Drove past 75k miles on Christmas weekend. I guess I need an oil change.

The current SkyActiv 2.5T engine is really still an economy engine for Mazda. I don't remember where I've read it, but someone from Mazda said that this 2.5T engine is not a "high performance" engine, but that it is suitable for the segment that the Mazda6 is in. What I get from that is that if...

TFL interviewed a Mazda powertrain engineer at the LA Auto Show and he somewhat addressed the issue of the missing manual. He said that a big part of the fun of owning a manual is being able to rev out an engine. However the 2.5T engine makes it power down low and by 5k RPM it is already out of...

Looks like it will only be available on the highest trim, the Signature Trim which comes with the 6 speed auto. Their 6 speed auto is pretty good though.

Took a sick day yesterday and was getting bored at home. Ended up opening the hood on my car and putting some stickers on it LOL.

I'm 90% sure this is happening. We'll find out for sure at the LA Auto Show.

That's usually what happens to me in the past. Usually after a day or two of letting it sit, it would be easy to see which tire was leaking air. This time though, the tire held pressure even after letting it sit for 3 days. Anyway, I'm continuing to monitor it.

My last post was about the tire pressure light showing up. I checked the tire pressures the night after, it was 32 and 27 psi for the front tires, 34 and 34 psi for the rears. Not sure why the front right tire dropped down to 27 psi. Anyway after filling up the tires to the proper pressure, I...

Question, on your website it says that these adjustable struts/shocks adjust rebound only. Are these struts/shocks different from the previous adjustable struts/shocks that you sold? If I'm not mistaken, the previous adjustable struts/shocks affected rebound and compression simultaneously.

Got in my car and started driving to work, passed 2 or 3 houses and then the tire pressure light came on. This like happens every 4-5 months or so. I love the Continental DWS06 tires, but I'm getting tired with all these low tire pressure events. Tires didn't look flat when I got out of the...

Sounds good! Sorry, maybe I missed it in a earlier post. What are you using to tune? Accessport? Versatune?

My wife is the same. When she's just a passenger, she's usually pretty calm. But when she is driving, she can be extra chatty especially if someone cuts her off or is driving slow in front of her LOL.

It's funny how people turn into a totally different person when they get behind the wheel.

Looking forward to the tuning results. Considering the history of Mazdaspeed3 rebuilds in DFW, glad to see it worked out well for you.

Are you self tuning? Where are you going to do the dyno tune?
