Heard the scraping signalling that it’s time to switch my brakes up from the rear left tire. I dropped the tire off and to my surprise found that the inner brake pad was worn all the way down (unevenly as well) but the outer brake pad still looked fresh. Anyone have any insight as to why it...

Hey everyone! Can anyone send me ideas on what to put on my car to boost the performance and maybe share some cosmetic ideas. Can you provide the link if possible as well. Thanks !

I'm sure that Mazda executives hang on every word here...not. But for the next iteration of the entertainment unit on Mazda cars, how about putting a universal dock for a phone behind and indeed part of the display screen? Mazda currently lack anywhere to put a phone and placing it there...

Looking at mufflers and been googling all morning trying to find out what the 2.5 skyavtiv's put out. I did find some site that suggested a 2.25 diam pipe maxed out just above 400 cfm and 185 HP.

Will this hurt my 2012 skyactiv 2.0 mazda3 hatchback? Pulling the hand brake and drifting in the snow. Reving the engine high in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear getting the wheels to lose traction in the snow(sometimes in the rain). Shifting wile under loss of traction (sometimes the car shakes)...

Roof Racks/2015 Mazda 3 Fixed Points Sooo... I just traded in my 13 mz3 for a 14 Mz3iGT. I had previously invested a lot of money in the floor mats and roof racks, floor mats are now taking up space in storage and I cant do anything about that. But on the old Mz3 I had Thule 460 podiums, which...

Not a big deal but would my dealer be pissed off if I asked to have a 3 Hatchback for a whole day just to see how it fits in with my life and can carry what I need? I'm 99% sure it will do all that but I haven't test driven since December.. Mine won't be here as most of you know until the end of...
