Anyone have an aftermarket head unit that is not Eonon? My buddy mentioned this Atoto S8 (which is apparently popular amongst the MX-5 community) but I'm not sure if it fits in our car (2nd gen for me). I have the stock head unit going to other amps I installed and I think the sound is pretty...

I'm probably stressing over this a little too much. But I'd prefer to try a car cover while my car is stored in my garage. Aside from the dust and debris that build up on it, I'm certain some of the dings/scratches have happened whilst parked there. With 2 kids and a lot of in and out by me...

Okay so it doesn't have stock anything under the skin but hey, still reppin the speed3 and it looks pretty dope. I'm not mad at it.

So since the car sits all winter I try to do any upgrades during that time. I decided this season (though it's almost time to bust the damn thing out) to do a little suspension upgrade. Of course 'a little' never really means a little, does it? So I bought some Swift springs that are sitting...

Been calling around on behalf of my wife’s CR-V to get the brake fluid changed. The maintenance minder system (Honda’s internal system) says it’s time. I don’t know how it figures that but I know it’s not just based on miles. A couple places just gave me a price. Two, however, wanted to know...

Something that I don’t think had been happening til recently. When driving around town or city driving my coolant temp is around 180-185. Higher when at a stoplight of course. But now when on the interstate my temp is down to 170’ish after a minute or so. That seems odd to me. Anyone else...

ever since my car has been tuned (thanks, Rob!) every so often the exhaust will pop during a shift. doesn't have to a be a very heavy throttle to make it happen. @JohnnyTightlips told me it was cool and that i should like it. and i do :D it typically occurs during 3-4 shift. i watched some...

So last year I replaced some pieces of the OCC system I have (JBR). Replaced the lines and the petcock fitting. I hated it. Was always hard to open and never sure if it was tight enough. Was also starting to rust. So I tried to duplicate what the newer kits have. Thing is, changes oil today...

So after going round and round trying to find a good place for a power wire to go through the firewall (4 gauge), I have determined that Mazda did not want anyone doing this job. WTF. After speaking to @JohnnyTightlips (Gen 1) it looks like I might be able to use the space behind the glove...

I've been doing what I assumed would be simple research. I'm looking for a speaker harness when replacing the door speakers. I could just cut the plug off and crimp on some connectors but I wanted it a little cleaner. But I've seen about 5 different numbers and the descriptions are wishy...

I don’t have any stickers on my car. Typically don’t and haven’t had any on a car since like 2001. I even remove dealer stickers from the rear (where’s my advertising money??). Anyways I do wanna throw on a hypnotic tuning sticker. Where have y’all thrown yours if you use em? Thought about...

Anyone have an issue with their key fob running through batteries? I changed mine in one fob maybe two months ago? I don’t drive the car daily or really use the fob for locking/unlocking. It’s just in my pocket to start the car. Today I got a ‘battery low’ message. These were brand new...

quick background: installed Damond passenger side mount and trans mount. already had a stage 2 cpe rmm. did a few other bolt-on mods (downpipe and tmic). i'm now hopefully finishing up some tuning with Hypnotic. this was all done 473 miles ago. have been noticing in the last few days...

woo! i'm sure he woulda had a sticker on there but...asking anyways :) nice to see some speed love from 1320. a 'bad bitch' :D

Trying to get my first real log in for my new Hypnotic tune. I went out tonite with the goal of getting my WOT log. I found a place to get my MAF log earlier which, while annoying, was not as bad as the WOT. Trying to find a road that isn't a race track (or some place with a dyno) is nearly...

I have a 2012 and have had a rattling sound in the driver's side door panel since new. It was legit the only rattle I've ever heard in any Mazda I've owned (this is #3). I shrugged it off thinking one day I'ma get in there and tighten down whatever was loose. Skip ahead 7 years. Since the...

Been wanting to upgrade my horn forever. Bought a low tone add-on but either I got a bad one or did a poor job doing the install. I have checked it a few times. Just seems like the combo of the two aren’t in sync and/or sound like shit. Well anyways I thought about getting this BadBoy horn...

Went to Walmart for coolant. Looked for Zerex in red bottle. They don’t have it stocked. Checked their site and there is a red bottle but looks diff and says Valvoline on the front. Then I get there and no dice. But there is a blue bottle that says Mazda approved. So WTF?! Blue. Red...

So I’ve had 3 Mazda 3s covering two designs. I’ve liked them both. Yeah clown smile is a thing but nowadays it’s mostly blended in. When the new design came out in 14 I was a fan of the sedan. More particularly the face. I liked the way they were going. I liked the 6s and was happy to see the 3...

Sorta stumbled onto this when I was watching a short vid about SWAS. See here. Looks cool and is $75. Need your own tablet/phone and honestly not sure if it will display all the same types of thing an AP would. per their site, it can: Display, graph, and log 90+ real-time parameters...
