carbon

Where does one find Carbon Fiber hoods and body kits? All I can ever find are sold out or no longer made. This is for a 2015 model

i've been promising around here to pull my intake and take some pics of the valves for better part of 2 years now. i also had a kid 2 years ago, so this has been long delayed. but today i did it! below you will find some images of the intake valves in my engine. i will attempt to approach this...

This is a quick story I wanted to share about carbon on the intake valves in a DI engine. It was a 2012 Hyundai accent, helped a friend out working on it this weekend. Still pertains to the skyactiv-g and has encouraged me to open my intake up as soon as possible. Well you all know the...

Has anyone removed the charcoal filter above the air filter? There are so little posts in the Mazda community, but this in the Subaru Crosstrek community is a must do. The few posts I have read, talk about it improving sound and giving nominal gains in horsepower

I must say feels way better than stock, and quality for a non branded wheel is great, priced at $285 landed

'14 sGT The more I look at the CF window switch trim, steering wheel pieces, and HUD piece, the more I hate it. All piano gloss black pieces have been wrapped in brushed black metallic. I'm considering doing the CF, but can't find a post. Will the vinyl adhere correctly to the faux CF...

Anyone have an experience with the front fenders? Was really interested in these...

My 2011 Mazda 3 has 167k miles on it. It has been having some issues with a slightly rough idle, and an even rougher time accelerating from a stop. I saw a recommendation to try the seafoam intake cleaner.... And wow. The car is running like it is brand new! All of the power I have been missing...

So it's that time for new spark plugs. It's actually 3k miles past the recommended interval (75k). My main concern is carbon deposits on the intake valves. After searching, I've learned that the best way to know you have carbon deposits is to take off the intake manifold and the best way to...

I've been interested in getting one of these hoods but I would like to know the fitment on a 13' MZ3. Or if anyone has any pics as well. Thank you.

I searched, but didn't find anything solid. Like most people, my piano black trim pieces are easily scratched and marred with fingerprints. I'd like to wrap some of the interior trim pieces with a carbon fiber weave. My window switches have a CF look, so I'd like to match them as best as...

I'm selling my Simota carbon fiber short ram intake for GenPu non-sky 2.0 engines. I bought it previously from a member here with 7k on the clock, I've probably put 60k on it since then. It has been cleaned many times between now and then. Everything still works fine. I'm selling because my car...

Anyone know how to install IKON Motorsports carbon fiber wing for 2017 gt hatch I bought it and has no instructions? PLEASE HELP!!!

I have been searching on youtube, and find no video of this kind on the matter, so i made it myself; i am studying a way to clean the intake valves more easily than the walnut blasting procedure, cause in my country we do not have that kind of abrasive product, looking at some suggestions in...

The intention of this post is to clear the air on direct injection (DI), specifically the issue of carbon build up. I noticed that many people have concerns regarding the long term reliability of these engines, due to the issues plaguing early DI engines, and decided to make this handy reference...

Hey Guys, So some prick backed into me in a parking garage and dented my hood (he was in a jeep). The damage is minimal but I got it appraised for nearly 1300$...so I'm thinking about tossing the stock hood and going carbon fiber. Has anybody seen this or could help me find one? -Chris

does anyone know when this will become a reality ? stock hood feels like it 50lb+

Mazdaspeed_style Hood (CF) ZestJDM has quite a bit of body mods for the Gen 3's and they recently updated with some pictures of this hood. :surprise: I am in love even if its not offered in normal painted. It is nearly $900 after shipping being about $200.... But it seems pretty legit and...

Finally got around to installing it. Fitment was perfect, no modifications needed.

It is possible to paint over Carbon Fiber finish? I called Maaco (paint shop), they said they won't do it because they can't warranty it. He said something about bubbling ...and it can't be painted over.... Anyone here painted something over carbon fiber finish?
