Hey everyone, I have been working on my girlfriend's 2011 Mazda 3 2.0l. I grabbed a 2012 Ford Focus 2.5l long block from LKQ and swapped most of the items required to fit it. Off the top of my head: the valve cover, harmonic balancer, belt tensioner, alternator, intake manifold, exhaust header...

So the 3rd gen Mazda 3's are pretty peppy cars, good throttle response, but a little latent on gaining acceleration. They are fun to drive, but i feel like they would be perfect with a little more power. I understand that swapping motors requires a ton of money, buying parts to retrofit the...

So, before I begin, I'd like to just clear up that I am very new when it comes to doing anything to a car aside from driving it, changing the oil/tires etc. Recently put an exhaust on my MZ3 (2012 Skyactiv sedan) and it's kind of opened my eyes. I really want to do a lot more. I'm finding it...

Sorry if this is a beaten topic. But I am looking getting the wing spoiler for my 2010 Mazda 3 sedan. I currently have the lip spoiler but I just think the wing looks nicer. Has anyone had any experience with this kind of swap before? Can I just take off the lip spoiler and replace the wing...

I'm planning on swapping a ford branded 2.5 into my 2004 2.3 hatch. That's well documented now, so I'm not too worried about it. However, all the swaps I've seen documented used an engine from a 10-12 fusion. The are some really good deals right now on very low mileage engines from the 13-16...
