An Acura badge on a Mazda? Heathen!

Did you draw a period on your license plate?

All Weather Mats by defreitasm

Just got the all weather mats. I am very pleased with the quality and would have actually preferred the dealer had ordered these as opposed to the carpeted mats. The carpeted ones just don't hold up well in places like New York that get a lot of rain and some snow. Comparing them to other all weather mats I own they seem to be of a comparable thickness but the design probably doesn't hold as much water as my other mats. In any event I think they will do the trick. The best part is that they are not very expensive. They do fit like a glove but they could have made the driver-side anchor holes a little larger and thinner to ease putting the hooks through.

According to the Mazda website, the CX-7 is 64.8" tall. Can anyone say how much taller it is with the factory rack? Are the crossbars 2" above the roof? Higher? I can't find this info anywhere...
 
Thanks

I just ordered a custom windshield from AutoSeattle.com and it fits like a glove. Haven't noticed any sagging in the heat (as mentioned with the CX7 accessory) because I just haven't had it long enough yet but I'll keep everyone posted if I do.
 
Has anyone bought any custom seat covers and if so where did you get them? After 10 years of black leather interior I switched up to the tan on my new black AWD GT but I've already gotten it dirty twice in the past month. I was considering covers for the front seats only but as I'm browsing the internet haven't seen anything I've fallen in love with that would be worth the money I'm spending.

I have read that the reason the CX-7 is detuned is the tranny. It is the same tranny as used in the Edge. The tranny was jointly developed by Ford/Mazda and GM. The tranny is the limiting factor, so be careful.

It's not the same transmission. Without saying one is better than the other, I simply know the CX-7's box is an Aisin unit, and not the one joint-developed by Ford/GM. The CX-7 forum was on the boil for a while last year until we got that all sorted out.
 
As for detuning the MS6 turbo engine, I can't find anything on the web about tranny reliability. It's possible Mazda detuned it for that reason, but more likely that the MS6 power curve and engine stress just didn't make sense in a CUV. Acura could have put their already-developed S2000 engine in the RDX, but they didn't - for the exact same reasons.
 
As I mentioned in my original post, 30-50 HP probably would not kill anything, but more than that certainly would require stronger engine/driveline components, possibly including the transmission.

Does anyone here have the Cargo Net? Is it useful? would you reccomend it?
Also does anyone know if the CX9 cargo net would work with the CX7?

I've only used it once in a year. I think it mostly gets in the way, but your mileage may vary if you carry a lot of light, rolling-type stuff in the back.
 
No idea about the CX-9 net working, but an interesting premise.
