NEW RELEASE: Front Brake Pads for the Mazda 3, Mazda 5 and Mazda 2

Less Brake Dust and More Stopping Power:

After the overwhelming success of the CorkSport Front Brake Pads for the Mazdaspeed 3 and Front Brake Pads for the Mazdaspeed 6 we decided to offer the pads to all Mazda 3, Mazda 5 and Mazda 2 owners.

CorkSport-mazda-2-Front-Brake-Pads-1-600

Designed using a proprietary semi-metallic and ceramic formula, CorkSport brake pads offer superior stopping capability without compromising wear and unlike other metallic brake pads on the market, do not require a “warm-up” period to perform to their full potential.

The CorkSport brake pads are a low dust solution that will help to keep your wheels nice and clean and this highly durable compound provides less fade on your brake pads. Made for superior performance in all weather conditions, the CorkSport brake pads have been thoroughly tested for endurance and braking power both on and off the track.

“Upgrading your brake pads will not only provide performance improvements for your Mazda, but provides added safety for your vehicle.” Said CorkSport owner and race car driver, Derrick Ambrose “Having driven on these pads extensively, I can say without a doubt that you will notice improved stopping performance and braking responsiveness with CorkSport brake pads on your vehicle”

The CorkSport Brake Pads come with all you need for a front pad replacement for the Mazda 2 and Mazda 5. We have front and rear sets for the Mazda 3.

CorkSport brake pads are warrantied against all defects from workmanship and materials, come with full color installation instructions, all of the needed installation hardware, and knowledgeable telephone installation support.

Will There Be a New Mazdaspeed 3??? With All Wheel Drive???

Is All Wheel Drive Possible???

With the news that has come out in the past few weeks about the next Mazdaspeed 3 and it being AWD.  Takeo Mariuchi, the program deputy manager was quoted as saying “from a technical point of view it’s not difficult to install a four wheel drive system” for the next version.  I took this as a non-committal response from Takeo to answer someone’s question.  But in the interest of wanting to see a AWD Mazdaspeed 3 myself, I decided to take a look at the CorkSport 2014 Mazda 3 when it was up on a lift this week.

Checking out the rear knuckles you can see they are open in the middle which would make adapting rear axles to be pretty straight forward.

I took a peak at the rear suspension of the CorkSport Cx5 as well and it is setup the same.  The next point which would have to be addressed is space for the driveshaft and transfer case for an AWD system.

Sure enough there is a larger amount of space at the back of the engine bay to clear a transfer case and drive shaft.  The exhaust manifold looks to be the same from the CX5 AWD to give the clearance for needed systems.

In my opinion, the only thing standing in the way of this getting the green light is the bean counters looking at the past sales of AWD performance cars for Mazda.  In North America, the 323GTX didn’t sell too well and the 06-07 Mazdaspeed 6 was not the biggest sales success either.  Let’s hope they overlook those and give us enthusiasts the car we have always wanted.

Fight Power Loss From Your Hot Engine Bay

Step up your game and your power with the New CorkSport Power Series Cold Air Intake for the 2010-2013 Mazda 3.

Corksport-mazda-3-2010-2011-2012-2013-Cold-Air-Intake-System-600

A Cold Air Intake is one of the easiest ways to gain consistent power in your Mazda. With the CorkSport Power Series Cold Air Intake for your 2010-2013 Mazda 3 you will pull cold air directly into your engine which equals more power at your wheels. In testing the CorkSport Power Series Cold Air Intake proved to give peak gains of almost +6hp and +6lb/ft of torque.

CAI versus stock 25 mazda3

Not only does the Cold Air Intake increase power, but it will improve efficiency and consistency by giving your engine colder air which is better for combustion. The CorkSport Power Series Cold Air Intake provides the benefit of pulling the denser, colder air from outside the engine compartment.

CAI INSTALL (3)

We designed the Cold Air Intake for both the 2.0L Non SkyActiv models, along with the 2.5L Non SkyActiv model. With more power and efficiency across the board we decided to let everyone in on the performance gains.

Made of a polished, mandrel bent aluminum pipe, with durable multi-layer, reinforced silicone couplers and our one piece precision machined and anodized aluminum MAF housing, the CorkSport Mazda 3 Power series Cold Air Intake will be durable and look great. We also include a Dry Flow Air Filter that is easy to clean and never needs replacing.
