#6 of 65 Re: Prefered Equipment package [carlitos92] by taz6 Sep 22, 2006 (1:46 pm)
Replying to: carlitos92 (Sep 22, 2006 10:40 am) The package was part of the negotiated price on the sale. I always push for something extra to see where I stand. If you ask for the option and they eagerly agree, then there is more room in the price than they originally said. Replies to this message: carlitos92 (Sep 22, 2006 6:17 pm)

Replying to: taz6 (Sep 22, 2006 1:46 pm) I did the same thing. Point is, if I had to do it over again, I'd negotiate something else. Even for "free" I probably could have found something more useful in the accessories catalog. If you make a big enough stink, they CAN get stuff overnighted... Hope you get your stuff soon.   -c92
#8 of 65 CHECK YOUR WHEEL LOCKS! by carlitos92 Oct 01, 2006 (7:56 am)
So I'm hand-washing my car this morning, and to my surprise, one of my dealer-installed locking lug nuts has flown off the wheel. It's just gone. To boot, it has left a mark on the wheel where it impacted as it came off at speed.   I went around the car and the three remaining wheel locks were all obviously below the specified torque.   Now, knowing that the same guy at the dealership installed my trailer hitch, it begs the question, "How tight are the bolts on THAT?"   I will be at my dealer tomorrow morning, irate, and I will let them know how I feel about them putting me in harm's way. I hope it's an isolated incident, but it would only take 5 minutes for you to make sure your locks are tight... Good luck.
#9 of 65 Prefered Equipment package review by taz6 Oct 04, 2006 (6:26 am)
Locking lugs are always a nice touch. The cargo tray is as cheap as it gets, but that was reflected in the price. The cargo net needs more cargo hooks, it has limited use as it is. The bumper guard was damaged on delivery and is being re-ordered. Now I see why the dealership threw this in to close the deal. Must of cost them $50 for the package.
#10 of 65 Darth Vader Grey CX-7 GT w/ Tech. Pack by nmk Oct 04, 2006 (2:12 pm)
OK gang, has anyone other than myself thought of exchanging the blower from a speed6 and gain an increase in both HP and torque?   Is there another way to gain these increases with out really blowing out the engine?   Thanks for any input.   NMK Replies to this message: carlitos92 (Oct 04, 2006 3:35 pm) kbramstedt (Apr 29, 2007 8:51 pm) carlitos92 (Apr 29, 2007 9:43 pm)

Replying to: nmk (Oct 04, 2006 2:12 pm) Unless you really want a LOT more power, there is probably no reason to swap out the blower. Most likely you can bump up your HP by 30-50 just by swapping a ECU chip when and if someone starts making them for the CX-7. Shouldn't be more than around $500 or so. If available, a chip, cold-air intake, and exhaust pieces could find 50 HP in this big four-cylinder easy.   If you need more than the 30-50 HP range, you are talking about really stressing the engine and swapping out parts - and at that point, there would be no reason to buy off-the-shelf Mazda parts i.e. 'Speed 3 or 6 pieces...   And, of course, there's always putting a bag of ice on the intercooler...

Carlitos92: Thanks for your input. My thoughts were that if I could use the other blower, it would at least be an all Mazda engine. Now if I can only the the dealer to do it under warranty.....   Of course the cost of the swap is a great deal more than replacing a chip.   Thanks again.   NMK

Replying to: taz6 (Sep 22, 2006 7:13 am) I have everything except the cargo tray. The dealer is saying that it is on nationwide back order. Replies to this message: fonefixer (Nov 21, 2006 7:40 am)

Replying to: cocoagyrl77 (Nov 21, 2006 6:34 am) I received my CX-7 cargo tray about a week after ordering. (11.10.2006) Shouldn't be on back order.
#15 of 65 Roof Rack and/or Yakimas by rex10 Nov 28, 2006 (2:08 pm)
Has anyone installed the factory roof rack? According to the brochure it is removable. How easy is it to put on/remove?   Also, on the roof edges there are four plastic tabs with little arrows suggesting that they slide back to expose a mounting place for the roof rack. I've tried to slide them but they don't want to slide more than a tiny bit. Is there a special trick to get these tabs to slide out of the way? I don't want to break them!   Has anyone tried Yakima mounts on the CX-7 roof yet?   Thanks.
