The goal: Get a proximity key/smart key setup working in our cars, which don't have them now. Further to that point, the main goal is to have the car unlock as we approach, and lock as we leave. Personally, adding a push button start that only requires the smart key to be in the car (no key in...

A few weeks ago we were contacted by a writer for the Star Tribune who works in the CARS section. One of his topics is a weekly blurb about local car clubs, and he wanted to do one on MNMazda. The article should be in the April 16th edition of the paper, in the CARS section. Check it out!

Some of us mods have been trying to come up with cool things to do as a club during the summer besides the usual detail and dyno days and one of the ideas Tom had was to run some kind of road rally for you guys. We absolutely do not condone street racing or other speeding on public roads, so we...

After two winters of driving my car with a coat that had a button on the sleeve, my shift knob was in DESPERATE need of some loving. The front side of the aluminum ring had been scuffed up a ton and looked really bad. Someone on Mazdas247 had posted that he had refurbished his shift knob in a...

As some of you already know, I recently bought a short throw shifter for my MS3 (http://www.mnmazda.com/forum/showthread.php?5228-Review-E4-Performance-Short-Throw-Shifter-for-MS3). Well, the stock shift boot was WAY to big for a shfiter that's 1.6" shorter than stock. I looked at buying a boot...

Joelle and I were talking today about shifter mods and such, and I came across the named product above. It seems to be quite popular on MSF (and it looks SWEET), so I thought I'd email the owner and see if he'd be so kind as to offer us some kind of group discount if we ordered a couple. Turns...

As many of you already know, I ordered an E4Performance STS for my MS3. After much fuss, it finally arrived today. (I ordered from Protege Garage despite the many horror stories I had heard.) It came in a box just big enough for the shifter to be wrapped thoroughly in bubble wrap and get...

Here we go again! Another "I stole it from the MINI Club contest!" If you aren't familiar with the first contest, check out this thread: http://www.mnmazda.com/forum/showthread.php?1187-The-I-Stole-it-from-the-Mini-Club-Contest. The idea is the same as last time, with some tweaks and new ideas...

I'm hoping to be able to make it out to this, as it comes HIGHLY recommended to anyone even interested in AutoX, or I suppose just driving your car hard. It's a 2 day class, with the first day being in a classroom for 4 hours, and the next day behind the wheel for 8 hours! It's $50 for both...

You know the type. The posts do nothing but infuriate you, but you can't stop reading them. It's like watching a trainwreck, but instead of being awestruck, it's more like being Pissed-off-struck. This is one of mine: http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/ Post yours.

It's been discussed before, in passing, but I got bored and decided to set this up for us. Google maps has a "my map" option that allows you to add personal landmarks to their maps and save them. I created a map for MNMazda members. Here <------ LINK It should be available for anyone...

I found this thinger here: And looking at it, I had an idea, thus the thread. If you could choose any year, of those listed above, and have it never happen, which one would it be, and why? Lets also assume that if you pick that year, those things will never happen. None of this, "Well, the...

I'm not sure how many of you actually plan on shopping on "Black Friday", but I'm thinking about it. There's usually some good deals to be had. It looks like there are a ton of hot deals on Netbooks/Laptops, and Sears seems to have a couple things of interest to me. You can check out...

Found a link to this on M3F... seems pretty interesting to me. http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91206 I wonder if the DISI would benefit from this... (link to thread on M3F: http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=159028.0)

Stolen from any of a number of other forums, but interesting still. It's simple... I post a wish, the person after me "Grants" the wish, but with any side-effect they want. They then post a wish, and repeat. Example: ====== Post One: I wish for unlimited money. ====== Post Two...

I'm looking for an unpainted (still chrome) MAZDASPEED badge. The one that just says "MAZDASPEED". Those of you who've debadged probably have it just lieing around someplace... sell it to me cheap! Like this one, without the 3...
