    Yup... the 1st 3 gears are ridiculously long. You could add an extra 60hp on the Mazda3 and it'd probably be ok

    Have you fitted the dog bone insert?

    Question Long term data resetting itself

    Hi,

    I've noticed a few times now that the long term data on my car has reset, at first I thought that it was when I did the map updates, but it's more often than that. I've done 32k on the car now and the long term fuel use etc is only showing 350km. I've previously seen it as high was 2000+km before it's reset but I don't think it should be resetting itself at all.

    Anyone else know anything about this?

    Thanks,
    Karl

    From my Owners Manual.....
    "The memory gathers driving data from any number of individual journeys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving time or 9 999 kilometres driven.
    The indicator is automatically set back to zero if one of the indicated values is exceeded."
    It would be much more useful if it didn't reset at all, unless you did it yourself.

    We both had the CTS Turbo one, which the front broke off, so Now have the HPA Motorsport Arm and Bush replacement.
    times a 1000% better then CTS.

    A few have got the 034 Motorsport dog bone insert, which seem to be a bit stronger... bend not break

    Check out my timeline (link below) has both CTS and HPA

    Anyone selling any RS wheels? Looking for Gemini or Xtreme ideally but open to other options. Sick of these ugly Pistorius.

    Isn't that a little early?

    No idea. Wheels were within spec re offset. Went to 19s. Haven't hit any severe potholes or kerbs. Very strange for them to go. But it's warranty so it's all good!
