I like how the CX-7's front bumper resembles the Mazdaspeed RX-8's! Coincidence? I think not!

^ they did design it to be like an 8.. almost every car theyre gona make is going to look simular to the 8.. just loo kat the fender and hood of the new mx-5... and the new MPV thats avaible in japan... and the CX-9... btw the cx-7's suspension design was based on the rx8 too. now only if they created another 2 door 2 seater with a rotary turbo'd....

Here you are, Air is ducted into intercooler by engine cover.

Checking oil is harder that even the RX-8, Need to unscrew the round cover,
then try to fit your big hand in the little hole

Cover has two push pins holding the front on, and mounts to two posts in rear
like the 8

Nice. My Wife is interested in them for her next car. Mind sharing your out-the-door price?

Yes this is my wife's car also. The RX-8 is mine buy we usually drive her's on the weekend. Since these are just out we only got $800 off MSRP. I'm sure they will offer better deals as time goes on.

Kudo's to Mazda for setting an example of the worst possible place to put an intercooler.

Was the CX-7 an ATX that you drove? (with the lag). There was always hesitation issues due to the electric TB setup in the 6's in the ATX's. The MTX owners never really had a problem, always seemed to be a software issue between the TCM/PCM. I'm sure it'll be resolved in a reflash later.

Thanks. I figured they weren't discounting much, but I'm glad to see they are not gouging either.

Lisa: I like you too, Milhouse, but not in that way. You're like a big sister.
Milhouse: No, I'm not! Why does everybody keep saying that?
Lisa: Would you do me a favor? When you get back to class, just give him this note.
Milhouse's Brain: When she sees you'll do anything she says, she's bound to respect you.
Milhouse: Sure! What's a big sister for?
