Mazdas come with a good braking system but a simple brake upgrade will make a huge impact.
A great upgrade choice is the CorkSport Big Brake Caliper Kit. They work great in both hot and cold conditions. This 4 piston kit is crafted from an extremely lightweight billet aluminum and is made to last on and off track.
After shaving over 16lbs of weight and ramping up your stopping power the feel and look of these brakes will clearly make your Mazdaspeed look sick.
Here is a great example of deep corner driving & passing. Without some powerful brakes you would be pushing the limits of factory abilities. Much thanks to Steven Kritzberg for the video.
The Big Brake Kit is a sexy add on and very useful. The installation isn’t too hard to tackle, take a look at the video below . Perfect fit for the Mazda 3 and Mazdaspeed.
In the ongoing quest to make your Mazda more powerful, and fun to drive, we have developed many great aftermarket options.
The stock airbox and air intake on most Mazdas were designed for economy instead of power. The problem with using the stock filter and airbox is that it functions similar to breathing through a rag. The rag does a great job of keeping contaminants and dirt out, but it also requires extra effort to pull air in.
When you upgrade the intake to a CorkSport Short Ram Intake you remove the air stifling setup and finally breath freely. Suddenly, your car goes from an underpowered, oxygen lacking zombie, to the free breathing, throaty roar of increased horsepower and freedom.
If you are looking to start the year off right, and are ready to upgrade your intake system we can answer any questions on which option is best for your ride.
Want to start 2014 off with some extra power? How about just letting your Mazda breathe easy? Thankfully you can do both with one simple modification, the Short Ram Intake.
Those of you who are already driving the new 2014 Mazda 6 will be happy to see that we are releasing lowering springs to bring you improved handling and looks to your new ride. Read about the new release of the best Mazda 6 lowering springs.

Installation help is on the way!
We are constantly searching for ways to improve your experience with CorkSport. Many times we re-visit our parts to see what we can do to improve them; lately we are also starting to turn our attention to improving the instructions that our parts come with. You’ll notice the change starting with our latest products and also some of your favorites. We recently upgraded the instructions for all of our Mazdaspeed 3 intakes to fill them with more pictures and easier to understand steps. Here’s an example:
As you can see, the pictures are full color with easy to find call-outs of key items and steps. In addition to coming printed out with every CorkSport part, you will find them easy to link to on every product page and easily viewable on any computer, tablet or phone. Just one more way that CorkSport has your back!
Lower Prices, More Power, and White Silicone! December 17th, 2018CorkSport
With our fuel pump design complete (link to fuel pump blogs 1,2,3,4), we now turned our attention to the details. We wanted a coating to protect the piston and decrease friction during operation. After testing dozens of compounds, we settled on a very strong coating that is applied with a proprietary process. This process allows for an exceptional bond with the metal, lower static friction, and increases the surface hardness. Before applying the coating however, we wanted to make sure we had the best part possible underneath it. Imagine having an orange that is covered in titanium. The surface might be incredibly hard, but with no substance to back that up you will eventually lose the shape.
After choosing a very strong alloy for our internals, we then machine their tolerances to an incredible 6 microns! To make sure the tolerances are paired for life, we serialize the parts to prevent any issues and to track the life of the pumps. We then surface treat the pumps to achieve the alloys maximum strength; only after the maximum hardness is achieved do we apply our surface treatments to bring the overall durability to an even higher level.
Many companies would be finished at this point but, at CorkSport, our research has shown us that when a coating is applied it is very difficult to maintain a smooth surface. In fact, we found that the coating has many microscopic hills and valleys. There would be no reason for us to go through all the work of having incredible tolerances if we were just going to ruin them with an uneven coating. In order to correct this, the pistons are then re-machined back to their original single micron tolerance. The CorkSport Fuel Pump Internals are the lightest aftermarket kit on the market for faster response and decreased cam wear. At this point it may seem like we are flying this pump to Mars but we just wanted to make the best part on the market, and it worked.
Pump More Than Any Other Kit Available
All of this adds up to an improved pumping volume that is over 8% higher than all other pumps we tested and 50% larger capacity than the stock pump. When other pumps are losing efficiency because of their design or tolerances, ours is just hitting its stride. That difference in the real world is going to be higher HP numbers, safer air/fuel ratios and the ability to go that much further without worrying about your fuel supply.
Because of the increase in fuel we highly recommend that you get a new tune for your car we have made a combo deal to save some money here.
How to Buy the Best Fuel Pump Internals
Now that the cat is out of the bag we can let you know a few more things.
Our first batch is very limited and we want to give everyone that has been waiting a fair shot at getting one. We will release these parts for Pre-Order on November 1st. The Pre-Order will be limited to the first 100 paid orders or November 14th, whichever comes first.
The CorkSport High Pressure Fuel Pump internals include a collectable aluminum box with:
Full color instructions
Stainless Steel Installation Tool (That also doubles as a keychain bottle opener!)
Anodized Aluminum Installation Sleeve
CorkSport USB drive with Installation Video, Promotional Video and Other Bonus Material
The Pre-Order will go live on November 1st at 12am Pacific Standard Time and will remain up until the initial 100 orders have been placed. Unfortunately these are the only internals we will offer for 2013 so if you miss the pre-order you will have to wait until next year to get the best fuel pump upgrade on the market.
