Has anyone considered modifying the HUD to project on the windshield, rather than the flip-up plastic? (Active Driving Display). I think this would be something like removing the plastic, and adding a piece of polarized film the the windshield. I don't quite have it figured out, but starting...

I think that brakes are the weak link in term of my car’s performance. My car feels much quicker and more agile after I replaced the stock rims with performance lightweight alloys and after I fired an electronically controlled active suspension. After extensive online research, I came across...

So I feel there's a definite lack of a BBK for our Mazda3. And trust me, this is not an endeavor I would go alone. So me and my buddy (Service Manager at my Mazda dealership) have done a lot of initial research and we know the EVO X Brembo brakes are actually a direct bolt-on for the front...

So I already have pretty high quality 5000k HID's for both my low beams and fog lights. Fog light output is amazing with the HID's but obviously is not focused that well with just the reflectors. I also didn't want to spend almost $200 on the morimoto plug and play LED projectors so I looked...

The rear hatch spoiler on my '08 3s is sun-faded, and really starting to show its age. I hit some junkyards and found an '04 hatch in bright metallic red that still had its hatch spoiler intact, and grabbed it for $20. Then I got an e-mail from Amazon about some textured carbon-fibre vinyl wrap...

PART 1: Discussions, Info, & Access I felt bad that I couldn't contribute much on the development side of things, so I decided to create and manage this index to help organize everything discussed in the project thread. Please understand that I am the only one managing this index. I try to...

Finally got around to dipping my wheels. Never been really good at spray painting but i gave it a try and it's not too bad. Not perfect but definitely a learning experience. I'm thinking about leaving it on for a few months then maybe trying a different color. Maybe a gold color?? I spend less...

My car should be in next week! It's snowflake white as some of you might already know and I'm thinking of doing the roof in gloss black vinyl. One question... Can someone measure the length of their roof for me? It'll make it faster for ordering the vinyl. Measure the length at the longest...

I have the 2014 Mazda3 Sport GT with 18" wheels and Dunlop tires and was sick of the road noise on the highway. I also noticed the noise was quite loud with winter tires on 15" wheels. So, instead of changing to Michelins right away, I decided to put some sound deadener from RAAM Audio in the...

Hey guys, I'm wondering where I could get a bolt the size of the tow hook. It's a 20mm bolt size from my searching. I've checked Fleet Farm, Autozone, Menards, Home Depot, Ace hardware, and a small hardware store by my house. None of these places have a bolt that size except in standard which...
