#9027 of 9235 Duratec 2.3L question by ajchrist Feb 11, 2007 (11:36 am)
I've read the Duratec 3.0L engine contains plastic/composite parts, such as an intake manifold. Is this also true of the Duratec 2.3L engine? Replies to this message: maltb (Feb 12, 2007 9:41 am)
#9028 of 9235 Great experience by larrya Feb 11, 2007 (2:35 pm)
Just purchased a M3..I / touring with auto last night. Test drove Civic and then fell in love w/ M3. No haggle price of 150 under invoice w/ 4.9 for 72 financing.Hope it holds up as well as advertised.

#9030 of 9235 Unlock your car's trip computer! by jc22 Feb 20, 2007 (1:27 pm)
Thanks for Andreas of Mazda3Forums I was able to unlock my trip computer on my 07 Mazda 3. It works for 06 too! Sorry but this hack does not work on earlier models.      1. Press and hold down CD and AM/FM buttons 2. Start your car while still pressing down on those buttons 3. The display will read, "DIS ON" which means Driver Information System On. 4. Release the CD and AM/FM buttons 5. Turn off and restart the car 6. Now press the Set button and cycle through your avg. mpg, miles until empty, current mpg, and avg mph!      Now you can truly know your Real MPG numbers! Which is a mixed blessing!      Please pass this info to others!      JC Replies to this message: davesbrew (Feb 20, 2007 5:45 pm) jc22 (Feb 20, 2007 7:48 pm) davesbrew (Feb 21, 2007 4:21 am) claudius753 (Feb 21, 2007 12:11 am) lateralg (Feb 22, 2007 7:37 am) jerchri (Apr 01, 2007 8:47 am)

Replying to: jc22 (Feb 20, 2007 1:27 pm) Maybe I'm missing something, but can't you just hold the trip computer button a few seconds until it zeros out for the same effect? Replies to this message: jc22 (Feb 20, 2007 7:48 pm) davesbrew (Feb 21, 2007 4:21 am)

Replying to: davesbrew (Feb 20, 2007 5:45 pm) I believe only the Mazda 3 GT comes with a trip computer and it is access via the "Info" button. I have a Sport Touring and it did not come with a trip computer and I don't have the "Info" button. This hack is to activate the trip computer for lower Mazda 3 models. So before this hack, I did not have a trip computer, after the hack, I now have a trip computer. And I access it through the "Set" button. Replies to this message: davesbrew (Feb 21, 2007 4:21 am)

Replying to: jc22 (Feb 20, 2007 1:27 pm) I just bought a ScanGauge II for the MPG info on the Mazda3Forums group buy for $139.95. Oh well, I still get all the other info the ScanGauge II displays, like engine load and volts, clear CELs, etc, and I saved $30 off of the regular price.   Anyone interested in getting one, the deal is on till the end of Feb.   Is this hack supposed to make the info display in the IP, or does it show up in the stereo LCD? I'm not sure what you mean by "Set" button, the one that resets your trip odometers, or the one on the stereo?   I'll try this hack this morning on my S Touring.

Replying to: jc22 (Feb 20, 2007 7:48 pm) I've got a GT, and didn't know that was a trim specific feature. Thanks for the clarification. this makes much more sense now. -d

I have looked at the Mazda website and noticed that it does not say the stereo will play mp3's (cd's with mp3's burned on). This seems like a strange omission given that a $10 cd player from wal-mart will play mp3's.   Is it true, or just an oversight? Replies to this message: davesbrew (Feb 22, 2007 6:04 pm)
