Currently on eibach, but going to RB springs cause the ride is a bit low for where I live( unless eibach are much better ride/handling than RB, then I would keep the Eibach and be super careful). The dampers are on the way from Tirerack, I just got...

    Hey all, New to the forum here... I just got a 2015 Mazda 3 Hatch and it's going for its first actual maintentance (oil change & tire rotation). My question is, do you guys think the recommended services (45,000 miles, 50,000 miles, etc.) are worth it? This is the list of services they claim...

    I have a 2018 mz3 2.5L hatchback. Do you know if it’s okay to run higher octanes stock without getting a tune or modifications to the car or what he beat octane would be for the engine? The user manual says 87 but not sure if it’s okay to run 91 and 93 safely on just the stock map.

    Hello, I have a Mazda 3 iGT and am interested in swapping the stock halogen bulbs (both low beam and high beam) for a more pure white (4300K-6000K) halogen bulb. Can anyone recommend a reliable brand, where the bulbs do not burn out within the first year? Thanks!

    Hi, all. I'm in the market for a remote starter for my 2014 Mazda 3, but from what I can tell there are a few limitations to be aware of with the car stopping when the door is opened? I read through the other thread on this forum, but couldn't make sense of all the posts. Stock seems unpopular...

    I'm getting ready for a long road trip and want to pick up a power inverter to plug into the power socket in the center console. Does anyone have one that they can recommend that works well with laptop chargers? Also, I don't want to blow the fuse, so what is the maximum output of that socket?

    So sirs, I have a 2011 Mazda 3S 2.5 M/T and I just wanted to know what the best path would be for around 200 HP. Ideally, I want the extra power but try to keep as much of the reliability as I can. I was reading on a another thread the 2.5 engine cant handle much more then 250HP, so around 200...

    I have the 2014 Mazda 3 iSport (4-door). Default radio, but I'm installing a tablet and was looking at backup cameras. Any recommendations? I was thinking something like this as I'm thinking using the rear light would be the cleanest install: Car Rearview Back Up Camera CCD 170 Angle...

    Good idea or bad idea? I want to stay within my warranty and if they are the ones sending me there I feel like I'd be ok. They quoted a full install at about 250 bucks, seemed fair to me. Probably have em throw in the fog lamps all at once as well. Just looking for a little input. 2013 model

    Ok, so my dealership promised me free oil changes for a year. Then I go there and the service guy tells me that My car requires synthetic oil, and the "Free" change only covered up to $29.95 and that the synthetic oil is going to run me another $45. WTF? Ok, that's pretty shitty in terms of...
