CorkSport Is Already Working On Your Next Car First!!!

Always First!

Being the #1 Mazda performance company in the world has some serious advantages. Being based out of the Pacific Northwest (where Mazda’s enter the United States) and near one of the best Mazda dealerships around are two definite perks we have as well. This has allowed us to have access to the most exciting Mazda releases faster than anyone and the ability to purchase them and make parts for them before the competition has put down their copy of Car and Driver.

As you can see, we’ve been lucky to have our hard work pay off once again with a nice new Mazda 3 that isn’t even available for sale. We were excited to see some of the changes and are already working on designing some of the quality CorkSport parts you’ve come to know and love. So far our team is very impressed with some of the additions to the chassis and the interior. We’re already planning ahead for any possible Mazdaspeed edition that could be around the corner.

Thanks to secret Mazda dealership hookup for the vehicle and helping us support the most dedicated group of enthusiasts in the world.

Is There a Better Exhaust for your Mazdaspeed than CorkSport???

Kenton Koch CorkSport Exhaust Mazdaspeed

Professional racer Kenton Koch doesn’t think so. Kenton burst onto the racing scene a few years ago and has rapidly made a name for himself as one of the top young drivers in America. As a Mazda enthusiast, Kenton chose a few CorkSport parts and is now one of our greatest supporters. Recently, Kenton got himself a Mazdaspeed 3 and decided after a lot of research that he wanted no other exhaust than the CorkSport Power Series cat back exhaust. As an accomplished professional race car driver who is on the rise, Autobytel performed an interview about his newest purchase. We’re honored to be mentioned and can’t wait to see what else Kenton has in store for his car, and for this race season!

Here is the exhaust (cleaner) than on Kentons:

Mazda Posts High Profits, Innovation is Up their Sleeve

Mazda is planning to make an announcement soon on their April – June profit. Though Mazda spokeswoman Misato Kobayashi declined to comment, speculation and reports from Nikkei Business daily says that Mazda should have a profit of over 20% higher than last year at the same time. Reuters reports that Mazda has seen strong sales of their CX-5 and Mazda 6 so far in 2013. Reuters also cited the Nikkei business daily as stating that the falling Yen and improved sales have helped contribute to Mazda’s profitability.

At CorkSport our love of Mazda means that when Mazda does well, we get excited. Though Mazda is one of the smaller automakers, their innovative ideas, designs, and fun vehicles has helped them stay competitive against much larger companies. We love seeing Mazda report that they are selling well, and we love knowing that more people are coming to enjoy the brand we appreciate so much. The more people that enjoy Mazda, the more we can create parts to help you love driving your Mazda.

Honestly we aren’t surprised at all by the recent success from Mazda. With the new 2014 Mazda 3 having been announced about a month ago, a new Mazda 6, and a fresh CX-5, Mazda seems to be doing everything right. All their recent vehicles have been inspiring, good looking, innovative, full of features, and mostly, a blast to drive. When the rest of the competition seems to be more focused on isolating you from the road, Mazda seems to be doing everything they can to make driving an experience to enjoy, not a chore that is required.

With all the rumors swirling around about the new MX-5 Miata, and the upcoming Diesel Mazda 6, and a new Mazdaspeed, we have a lot to look forward to from Mazda.

CorkSport Wants To Make Your 2014 Mazda 6 Even Better

If you have a 2014 + Mazda 6 then today is your lucky day! CorkSport is officially releasing the 2014+ Mazda 6 Rear Sway Bar, LED Light Kit, and License Plate Relocation Kit.

Relocate Your Plate

In order to improve airflow, and look better we created the 2014+ Mazda 6 License Plate Relocation Kit. The stock location of the license plate blocks the airflow through the grill of your Mazda 6 which is why we relocated the License Plate to the Tow Hook adapter location. This kit is simple to install and really creates a stunning front view of your Mazda 6.

The CorkSport 2014+ License Plate Bracket Relocation Kit is available at our online catalog. For more information please visit our product listing at: https://corksport.com/corksport-license-plate-bracket-relocation-kit-for-2014-mazda-6.html

Lights, Camera, Action

Allow your new Mazda 6 to shine, literally. Replacing the yellowish lighting inside the cabin of your Mazda 6 is one of the simplest upgrades to your car and makes the cabin more visible, cleaner looking, and feel higher-end. Don’t let the yellow light of the Mazda 6 ruin the atmosphere or limit the clean look of the interior, instead swap out the bulbs for fresh white LED lights.

The CorkSport 2014+ LED Light Kit is available at our online catalog for only $59.99 and is ready to ship now. For more information please visit our product listing at: https://corksport.com/corksport-led-light-kit-for-2014-mazda-6.html

Own the Corners

If you want to handle better, then this is the upgrade for you. Adding the 2014+ Mazda 6 Rear Sway Bar will limit the body roll when cornering by helping transfer some of the inside compression to the outside suspension. The rear sway bar effectively increases the compressed springs rate by helping distribute the load more evenly across the rear suspension. This helps control body roll and ultimately helps you corner flatter, faster and with more predictability.

The CorkSport 2014+ Mazda 6 Rear Sway Bar is available at our online catalog for only $229.99 and is ready to ship now. For more information please visit our product listing at: https://corksport.com/corksport-2014-mazda-6-rear-sway-bar.html

We also have the CorkSport 2013+ CX5 Rear Sway Bar available here: https://corksport.com/corksport-2013-mazda-cx5-rear-sway-bar.html

Upcoming Products:

CorkSport has been hard at work at more than just the parts listed above, soon we will be releasing the CorkSport 2014 Mazda 6 Power Series Short Ram Intake. Just like all our intakes this has been tested in varying conditions for proven power gains and improved sound.

If you can’t wait to improve the sound of your 2014 Mazda 6, we also have an exhaust for the Mazda 6 that will be released soon. It sounds great and looks even better. CorkSport has a great opportunity for one lucky person. If you simply HAVE to HAVE the Mazda 6 Axle Back Exhaust before anyone else then send Spencer an email (Update: we have already filled the beta testing spot.). We are looking for one lucky 2014 Mazda 6 owner to Beta test our CorkSport Axle Back exhaust and give us their thoughts. If chosen you will get to be inside the testing process and work with our engineers to provide feedback about our newest part!

Derricks Mazda Rumor Round-up

I have made some speculations in the past about things to come and have been fairly accurate thus far so I thought I would take another look into the future with the inside knowledge I have. Here are my most recent thoughts.

We know that the plant in Mexico that Mazda is building was slated for Mazda 3’s and Mazda 2’s for sale in North America. The whole plant will be online and running in 2014 with some production being slated for a small car from Toyota which Mazda will be building for them (which just says something about the quality of Mazda if Toyota is willing to have them Mazda build them). Mazda has said most of the production is slated for Central and South America which I am not sure about. I am betting that this new plant will be building additional units for the anticipated surge of the new Mazda 3 coming out and here is the reason why.

The new Skyactiv chassis Mazda is building cars from was announced to be shared in the next Mazda 2 recently. This means the Cx5, upcoming Mazda 3, and upcoming Mazda 2 will all be produced on the same platform. That means the tooling, production, power trains, and everything else will be available to build ½ of the Mazda product line in one place. This one place (Mexico) is a free trade zone for North, Central, and South America giving Mazda the ability to supply vehicles to any western hemisphere market quickly and tax free.

The capacity of the new plant will be 230,000 units by 2016 which is almost enough to supply the US sales with one plant if you look at the 277,046 Mazdas sold in 2012. I wouldn’t expect all of the supplied models to come from the new plant as Mazda Japan has a majority of their worldwide production capacity still based in Hiroshima, but the potential is there.

My second rumor will be that the new Mx5 will be released next spring or summer. It was back in 2011 when the patent pictures were dug up by someone and posted by all of the magazines. With the Rx8 gone and the current Mx5 having gone through a 2^nd facelift on the same chassis it is well overdue. 2 years have already gone by and the new Mx5 should be ready to pop. With the current focus being on the new Mazda 3 I am betting we will get a surprise next spring from Mazda.
