Is it easy to reposition a Mazda 3 roof rack?

I have a Mazda 3 roof rack (in Australia), which needs to be repositioned a bit. Is this easy to do. I have removed the actual bars and looked at the positioning points and these seemed to be secured to the car with an unusual bolt and I do not have a tool to unscrew it. Can you actually move it, if I could unbolt it, or are these screwed into the car body work? Cheers.|||ok|||Ah, no it is not easy.

|||Yeah, it cannot be repositioned. The cross bars can slide forward and backwards, but the rails cannot.

How do you set up trunk and ground effect neons on a Mazda 6?

I need help a step by step proses with how to put neon's on a Mazda 6?|||neons? read the directions that come with the lights. I am assuming you mean the under body kits? get a drill and some self tapping screws. Clamps should come with the lights. run the wires out of the way of any moving, sharp or hot parts and use heat shrink tube on any splices NOT electrical tape. Electrical tape, Bad. Heat shrink tube, good. water proof... its not that hard. maybe jack the car up for more room? if you do that put jack stands to support it. Don't go under a car that is only held up by a jack...|||UGLY!! lol I know you didn't ask. But I'm telling you anyway

How much to soup up a mazda protege?

I bought a mazda protege 2000. I just wanted to know how much it would cost to put on a spoiler, get it supercharged or add turbo. Maybe a body kit too. I just need some prices. Thanks.|||actually Mazda had a Protege Speed. Which in Mazda terms anything named Speed means Turbo...





I would check out your local junkyards for a protege speed engine. they also had a factory killer stero system with amp and subs, cool wheel and spoiler. you may even be able to find one for sale and save the money converting your and just trade your in and get the speed version.|||Well a turbo could be between 200 and 1500 depending on make and performance, I myself advise a Greddy turbo kit and a spoiler will be round 200 to 500 depending on style and finally a body kit could be up to 3000 if its really good. I hope I have helped. P.S. Nice Car|||I think the Mazda Forum may be right up your alley.

How much does it cost to repair a smashed headlight on a mazda 3?

So I just rear-ended someone and his car did not have not even one tiny scratch while my mazda 3 is all messed up :( The passengers side headlight is all smashed and the hood got bended a little. Should I call my insurance? will my insurance go up? how much will it cost?|||if he,s letting it go then you let it go too. it would be your fault for hitting him and your insurance will go up so if he,s willing to forget it then you do the same. it won,t cost that much if you get what you need from the junk yard.|||You didn't mention what year your car is which makes a difference in the cost of parts. If the only damage is your headlight and hood you are looking at about $300 for parts. You will then spend another $200 or so to get the hood painted.





If your deductible is $500 or so you might want to consider to have everything repaired yourself so your rates don't go up.|||headlights are ridiculously expensive for what is ultimately a piece of plastic, if you have insurance it would be wise to use it, otherwise (depending who you use) the repair costs would be in the vicinity of $600-$1200 , maybe even higher if structual damage has occured.|||if you buy online maybe it is around $200-$500 maximum. Shipping of the item included. But if you buy in a store it is around $80-150. But if you want a much cheaper you can buy 2nd hand or in surplus. But there is no guarantee that it is still in good shape. Buy at your own risk.|||what car did you hit?

Tips on how to turn my Mazda 6 into a high performance tuner?

I want to make my V4 Mazda 6 run and sound like a high performance tuner. Im pretty much happy with the outside appearance of it. Right now a turbo kit and a different exhaust sounds good but i dont really know what im doing so help please? Any ideas are appreciated.|||Turn it into a mazdaspeed6. You can have a dealer install mazdaspeed upgrades and keep it under warranty. http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayP鈥?/a>


Has all the details on what that would include. If you want to save money and dont care about the warranty then just do an aftermarket turbo, air filter, intake and exhaust, flywheel, and depending on how serious you are nitrous, lightweight rims, a body kit, or convert body to carbon fiber (hood, trunk, fenders, doors, body kit) that would drop your weight dramatically. Any car can be modified to do 10s 1/4 but its how much that car costs to get there.|||Go buy a mazdaspeed 6 the mazda 6 wont really go right as "tricked out" tuner. Get an old accord or acura

How does the performance compare between an 05 Suzuki SV650s and a Mazda RX8?

I know that the Mazda has a higher top speed, the question relates to the overall performance. Which accelerates faster? How does the handling compare?|||The bike will have better acceleration in a straight line, but the car can corner quicker and brake far harder due to having a lot more rubber on the road, so on a race track there probably wouldn't be that much in it.|||One is a motorbike, and one is a car, you can't really compare! There are VERY few cars which will beat the 0-60 time of a motorbike, and the SV650 is no exception. With a 0-60 of around 3.5 seconds, it will leave an RX8 (along with most Ferrari's, Lambourghini's, etc....) far behind, and with a competent rider and good tyres, it will easily out-handle all but the very best super-cars too. Cars have a higher top speed, because bikers want something that will accelerate quickly, not have an extra 50mph of performance that they will never be able to use.|||The SV runs bottom 12s, the RX8 mid 14s, if its a manual. So in other words, its not even close in acceleration. The RX8 does have a higher topspeed, but it would require over two miles to catch the Suzuki in a striaght line from a standstill. The RX8 does have more rubber, but also alot more weight. It would be easier to drive the RX8 to its limits, but all in all the cornering and handling would be evenish. Of course the RX8 has a much better heater, can hold twice as many people and is easier to get road head in. But it cost 5 times as much.|||there are a number of motoring shows on TV %26amp; DVD that have compared Bikes with cars on the track...





%26amp; a very fast car will still be beaten by a fast bike...





in the real world where speed limits %26amp; obsticals on the road,, limit how fast you can go..





low speed acceleration makes all the difference.. which is great until you get to the next traffic light.. then the car catches up again... light goes green.. bike takes of %26amp; is in front.. next light.. car catches up again... this can go on all day...the bottom line is..





if you travel 15 miles to work/school in the morning.. at 45 MPH it takes 20 mins (if its a straight through run)... i8f you do it at 60 MPH..it takes 15 mins... you save a whole 5 MINS..





but run the risk of a speeding fine... all to save 5 mins... easier to get out of bed 5 mins earlier..|||You are trying to compare two rather unrelated means of transportation.
