Along with the supercharger kit, for either the DE or the ZE, it'd be nice to see something that would bolt up, with an adapter for the intake runners, for the B6-ME as well. In any case, bolt on -charger kits would be much appreciated. Got some word back from RTM "I actually tried to get into ...

In any case, give some ideas on some wanted parts! a mazdaspeed replica 25 mm sway bar and this http://www.ghiagirl.com/phrankentruk/balljoints.htm That's actually quite a good idea. Keeping the spindle at the OE angle when lowering a vehicle. A true bolt-on supercharger kit, with quality parts and...

As some people think a CAI is just a hard pipe. Not necessarily. A true CAI, as I know it, routes the filter outside of the engine bay; fender well. The SRI is the normal routing for most intakes where the filter is still within the engine bay. Big difference between the two. Probetalk as well I sup...

I recently got in contact with RTM Racing, who makes a lot of products for a variety of vehicles, and stocks name brand parts as well. I asked them if it would be possible to give some love to the MX-3. Got the reply: "I would love to get into other platforms, but usually there are already shop...

Happens sometimes. First time it's happened to me though. Guess I've been lucking out when getting parts for cars. lol

Resolved as stuck open thermostat. Also took precautions by flushing the heater core and the cooling system with compressed air.

Changed out the new thermostat for an even newer one. While we were at it, we flushed out the heater core with some compressed air, did the same to the rest of the cooling system minus the radiator itself. Installed new thermostat, burped the whole system, good to go. Guess the old thermostat was st...

Within a week after the GF owning her tan MX the engine through a code for the Camshaft Position Sensor, '21' I believe. Having no severe driveability problems other than slight hesitation on the throttle and a little chugging at a specific RPM there hasn't been anything to worry about, so we didn't...

DSM Owners Forum:
"Some punk kid in a Honda tried to race me, but I couldn't because it's on jack stands."

Typical DSM forum anywhere, and don't I know it.

Apparently I need to drive the girlfriend's car more often. Dropped her off at work today to get the heater core flushed out, noticed that when I'm coasting down hill (a good two miles) the heat gauge falls to cold. Stuck open thermostat. Even after getting the new one put in, properly mind you (unl...

Currently, the temperature outside is about 20*F. Pretty warm out. Kiss my a**, it's -20 here. You get no sympathy from me. :wink: lol Fair enough. I'm from the north too, so I know how cold it can get. Last week we had a wonderful -20 as well, without windchill. No sympathy intended. i thought if ...

Since I wasn't in the mood to tear apart the dash, I removed the kick panels from the center console side near the ECU. The cable and mechanism that operates the blend door from cold outside air to warm heater core air actuates properly. I can both hear and see the cables and actuators moving as wel...

There is no cabin filter for these vehicles. What I'm thinking the problem might be is one of the doors next to the heater core is not completely opening, only slightly. Makes sense that route, or even a partially blocked heater core, though as I wrote above, that doesn't seem to be the problem. Thi...

Recently I've come across the problem of having very little heat through the heater core. While the blower is not running, the heater core hoses are both hot, while the blower running the inlet hose is hot while the outlet is cool. Which means that the heater core is not clogged. The upper radiator ...

Problem with the driver's seat belt on the new MX-3 and the old MX-3 is the contact point on the shoulder belt. The seat belt light blinks and beeps constantly due to there not being much metal left on the 'clutch' itself. It's repairable, as far as I know, just a matter of figuring out how to fix t...

she's definitely got a paint job on her. Can't remember what the original color was, might have even been black. Got a bit of a dent on the rear driver quarter panel which was patched with Bondo (and not a very good job at it), but nothing that can't be fixed. There is no rust on the body at all. It...
