3 Myths About What’s Under the Hood of Your Mazdaspeed 3

So you drive a Speed 3 eh? You probably think you are the shiz-at with your FoMoCo powered wagon…, but don’t worry bro I’m here to set a few myths straight.

Myth #1: “Elevendy” gears.

First, don’t be fooled by Mr. Diesel; you do not have “elevendy” gears begging to be double-clutched from stop light to stop light.

So give that lefty pedal a break and stick (pun intended) with 1^st through 6^th…throw a little R&R in there if you must.

Myth #2: The “black hole”.

Second, there is not a black hole hiding under your hood sucking all your money away. You may tell you girlfriend that, but come on seriously?

There’s a hunk of metal under there that you keep attaching more expensive hunks of metal to, but if your “black hole” excuse is working then you got yourself a real keeper… If not… check out financing.

Myth #3: Your “mating call emitter”.

Lastly, the hunk of metal (I mean black hole) does not have a “mating call emitter” attached to it, I promise. Red lights are not the green light to shoot for the redline of your hunk of metal and it will not draw the attention of the potential mate, at least not the attention you are seeking.

BUT, if that does happen to attract a potential mate, then you already know the black hole excuse will work flawlessly.

Thats all for now.

Product Release – CorkSport Shifter Bushing Set 2012-2013 SkyActiv Mazda 3

Say goodbye to sloppy loose and poor shifts! Keep the shifter feeling crisp and clean by installing the CorkSport Aluminum Shifter Bushings!

The new CORKSPORT shifter bushing set is CAD designed, machined for exact fitment, and made from billet aluminum which is anodized blue for a long lasting durable finish.

The factory OEM bushings are made out of rubber that gives soft and sloppy shifts. Over time, shifting gears can cause the soft rubber bushings found at the anchor point of your shifter assembly to deteriorate and fall apart.

Luckily CorkSport has a solution with the CorkSport shifter bushing set that gives you solid shifts and a firm responsiveness which will never wear out.

These bushings will improve your shift feel significantly and increase the fun factor times 10. Plus you can finally prove to your friends and family that the stick shift is greater than the slushbox.

Designed for easy fitment on the 2012-2013 Mazda 3 SkyActiv with manual transmissions.

BONUS: This is a perfect time to add the Adjustable Short Shifter and adjustable shift knob to cut down on installation time and give you the best shifting possible in your Mazda!

Product Release – CORKSPORT Adjustable Aluminum Shift Knob

At CorkSport we value innovation. We’ve got dozens of products that are unique on the market. Our Blow-off valve is being patented. How do you innovate a shift knob? That’s a tough one but we found a way!

Are you ready for one of the first shiftknobs that you can adjust? At its lightest, weighing in at 175 grams, and adjustable up to 320 grams, you will be able to tailor your shift weight to your driving style.

To really feel your shifts, adjust the weight to the lighter side, as low as 175 grams and feel the intricate shift points as you flow through the gears. For those that like heavy knobs, you can max it out to 320 grams, giving you smoother shifts that easily falling into gear as you shift up and down through the gears.

For example the first generation Mazdaspeed 3 (2007-2009) OEM shiftknob weighs in at 260 grams and the 2nd generation Mazdaspeed 3 (2010-2013) weighs in at 280 grams. You can find that sweet spot above or below that OEM weight to customize your driving style.

After you find that ideal and magical weight, installation will take about a minute as you screw on the knob. There are no set screws or adapters, it will screw straight on the OEM shaft as they were designed specifically for your Mazda vehicle. CAD designed and manufactured out of a durable deep blue or sleek black aluminium for a long life and incredible feel.
