Mazda parts reviews

Adding my experience here too: I miserably struggled with those CRAPPY Turanzas on my Turbo 3 for almost 4 years, and I finally had them swapped out for Pirelli AS+3's. As crappy as Turanzas were throughout this time (leading to multiple replacements), I'm only now realizing in comparison how utterly awful they really are!

Right off the bat, steering is so much more nimble and smooth, I probably put half as much effort into steering now. Traction is worlds better, and the car runs a lot gentler, too. Don't get me wrong, 3T is rough by nature, but now it's gliding over the same bumps and humps compared to the death shocks from Turanzas (which by the way, got exponentially worse over time). There's a lot less understeering with Pirelli's now, and interestingly, MPG shows signs of improvement as well. So, count me in love!

I have a Noco Boost X GBX45. The amperage on that is 1250 A, as long as you have higher than the CCA rating of the battery, you should be good.

I have a noco boost gb40, had oem battery that was completely dead, no lights had to use key to unlock door. Hooked it the jumper, wait about 10 seconds as battery was really drained, and CX started right up.

i replaced the cabin air filter on my 2016 mazda3 for ~$10, took me only a few minutes.

Bosch Clear Advantage blades are the sweet spot for price/longevity. I’ve used Ikons and Valeos. The CAs last longer than either for me, despite being cheaper. Swear by them.

I have 4 track days on my RE71RS on my NB miata and still have a day or two of life left. Roughly ~10 hours

of driving the piss out of those tires.

There are several good winter tires. Blizzacks, Nokian, Michelin, Continental are great. IMO I avoid studded winter tires.

Buy oem. Go on any rotary vender (atkins, mazdatrix) and order oem exedy #1007 I think . I tried saving money ordered from ebay but pilot and release/ throwout bearing was wrong and cost me more in long run. Exedy stage 1 has throwout bearing issues apparently. If you want a slight upgrade, buy the oem exedy s2 rx8 clutch kit.

I had Falkens as replacement tires on my 626. They lasted a disappointingly short while. Next tire shop said they’re infamous for being soft and wearing quickly.

I've never owned a vehicle that didn't eventually come across a rain storm that required a pull over because the wipers cant keep up at some point you do just have to pull over and wait it out. Had one so bad in my Cx30 where visibility was so low it disabled all safety sensors and spit up a message on the dash to be careful since they were inactive.
