My 2007 Mazda3 GT was sitting low in the back, especially with 4 adults and towing a small trailer.

I installed Mazda5 rear springs and now it sits much higher, especially with a load. The Mazda5...

They should be able to because they all share the same block.

I finally got around to taking some photos of the engine bay. The only visible difference is the "10 Mazda 3 2.5 6 speed" written on top of the engine identifying it as coming from a 2010 Mazda 3...

I don't see any problems with emission tests. The fuel injection system, exhaust, and all electronic controls came off the 2.3L engine. I am pretty sure the car still thinks it has a 2.3L only now...

I didn't do any of the work myself. When I dropped off the car there was a 2.5L "long block" sitting on the floor with nothing mounted on it. I assume the intake manifold everything else was just...

Oops. Wrong quote.

The engine bay looks exactly the same as it did before. No change.

This guy in Quebec will charge you $1,250 for 2.0L installed or $1,750 for a 2.5L installed. ...

I was running synthetic oil in my 2007 Mazda3 GT 5 speed and changing every 10,000km. At approx 175,000km I started hearing a slight tapping/knocking sound at certain RPM's. I checked the oil and...

2007 Mazda3 GT with Pontiac 5 x 115 16" wheels and Michelin 205/55R16 X-Ice for the winter. I ran these for years on my Protege5 without any problems.

While putting my winters on my 3 vehicles today and tried out some P235/60R16 winter tires on my Mazda3. I was surprised they actually fit and I could drive around the block without too much trouble....

No, I didn't bother trying. I did go back to the mechanic who did the Saftey but he said that the shocks were fine because they weren't leaking.

This makes 10 so I will try the avatar now......

Thanks. I think I read that I need 10 posts before I can load an avatar.

It is actually the tires that need balancing, not the rims.

Theoretically, I bet you could note the location of the wheel weights form the stock wheels(relative to the tire) and add the same...
