LOL. At first I thought it is a joke. But that is actually true. :)

The angle of the spoiler probably determine at which speed it is started to be effective. Eg, the electronically controlled...

I used to own a 06 Civic LX. And I am satisfy with the reliability of it. Then I needed to buy a car last year. The reason why I don't consider another Civic is that I want more excitement(power,...

My guess: Some blank CD may be created not to spec (slightly too big/small, thick/thin, etc) due to cost-cutting. So they may be easier get stuck. Record companies usually use quality disc for...

Oops! Yeah, that was a bit scary. I knew the wind was strong that day. But didn't realize it can be dangerous. No wonder I was the fastest car on the road. I was kinda testing how good the 3 is...

Hmm, #2 make sense. I guess I shouldn't try to make my 3 handle like a real sport car. It is just not built that way. At least it is not an ordinary econobox. It corners great even with stock...

Yes, I know they won't help. But which one is less "harmful" to winter handling? Thanks!

Yeah, I am using 16" winter tires. Maybe that contributes a bit. The tires are inflated to 40PSI (according to the user manual, normal tires 36 psi, winter tires + 4.3). I should have slowed down....

I was driving on a highway on a windy day (yesterday) at around 120-130km/h. And my passenger and myself can feel that the car is slightly swaying/unstable. I feel that the rear wheels swaying...

Another question: some speakers are "shallow mount" type. Can the Mazda 3 take "full-size mount" speakers? What is the max mount depth for front and rear doors? Thanks!

About $600 including installation. The 2 sets of speakers and the amp will cost me around $500 shipped. Don't know the cost of installation.

Anyone tried or know anything about the Kenwood eXcelon XR-S17P speakers? I can't find much review from the net. It has an interesting design where the magnet is on the opposite side.

Thanks Impressive! Does Lockdown have a web site? I can only find the other 2 you mentioned.

Would the installer provide all the necessary adapters/cables?

BTW, I will be using the factory...

I have a 2012 GS Sky hatchback. And I am planning to upgrade the sound system.
Here are the components:

Front: Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X1730P (6.5" woofer + 1" tweeter)
Rear: Infinity Kappa 62.9I...

I think mixing 2 and 4 Ohms will result in having the 2 Ohms ones louder. Then you can use the sound system setup to do Fade and Balance to balance them out. According to Alpine's US page, the Type...

Would 4 Ohms impedance be too much for the stock head unit? Most Alpines are 4 Ohms. Some Infinitys are 2 Ohms.

Thanks guys! Is larger size (6x8) generally better?

Sorry, I mean what size will "fit" the 3?

Alright. So what size of speakers will fix the 3? And any shop you recommended in GTA?

Thanks for sharing your speaker upgrade experience. I have a 2012 Mazda 3 Sport (GS Sky). I think the speakers should be the same as the 2011s. Can it accept the ones you linked (Infinity...

I have had my car for 3 weeks. Does the Paint Coating the same as PermaShine? After applying the coating, can I still wax my car? Would waxing remove the coating? Does the coating actually reduce...

I was deciding if I should "shield" my bumper. But I think it may not make much a practical difference. My reasons (correct me if I am wrong):
1) the shield will still get hit by stones and debris...

I have a 2012 Skyactiv. Bought the hood deflector from dealership (Yorkdale). Dealership installed it for me. Then I found that the thing scratches my bumper. I then went back to them. They...
