Re: Mazda3 Replacement
Not sure about the sleeper status with that ridiculous wing on it... Maybe if it were removed. The car is on the small side though. Not sure that would really work. I was adding Lightning Lap to see what else was out there, and to have another data point besides 0-60 and 1/4 mile because that was al...

Re: Mazda3 Replacement
Wow... Looking at Lightning Lap, the MazdaSpeed3 was 1.5 seconds quicker than the Infinity G37S - 2008. The Lexus IS F 2008 was 2 seconds faster than the MazdaSpeed3. The Cobalt SS was a second faster than that... https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a23319884/lightning-lap-times-historical-data/ I...

Re: Mazda3 Replacement
I don't know where I am at... Part of me wants to do the swap, part of me knows it will take a crazy long time, and I'll be driving the RAV in the mean time... ... ... oh man... The Fusion has some amount of sleeper status, which is cool. 16K is on the high side of what I'd want to spend. It is prob...

Re: 04 E55 AMG: high intake air temps
Do you have a hole drilled in the firewall? Like the size of 4 gauge wire??? ( :D ) "Looks like they picked an ignition switched source and added a relay, and that made it run all the time I'm guessing." Amplifiers have remote wires that need this very type of source to know when to turn o...

Re: Mazda3 Replacement
None of them have diameter, just spline count... Also, length differences are irrelevant until I know the difference between the inputs on the Mazda trans, and the GM front diff. I think that difference is more important as the wheel bases are also probably different. In other words, when the trans ...

Re: Mazda3 Replacement
It looks like the axles on the Mazda3 would match the front diff of the trailblazer ss. Inboard for the trailblazer ss axle and the mazda3 are the same - 26 spline. The outboard is different as the Mazda is 28, on the trailblazer SS it is 27. So to stay w/Mazda wheels, if length works, the Mazda axl...

Re: Mercedes E55 AMG hunt (W211)
I actually removed these from the cars outside as mice love to go under them.Ordered a brand new engine cover which this car is missing.

Re: Mazda3 Replacement
Also, the gearing in the front diff and rear need to match, and the tire height needs to be the same in front and back for AWD.
