From a former mini trucker, that blazer is sweeet!!! congrats on the new P5 and welcome to the forum

Thanks. I bought it new, so it was super clean. Last time I saw it for sale, it was in Tennessee and had been stripped of it's wheels, airride and alarm
Still looked pretty good but made me sad.

I just sold my Mazda 3 2 days ago . So I know how you feel about being sad. I hope that I don't ever see my car again. I'm sure that It wont look as good as it did when I had it.

And so it begins...

Had the windows tinted and installed the factory crossbars today

I bought the Yakima forklift bike tray (two actually)... I can't open the hatch all the way, so I may take them back. Not sure what other fork mount options I have.

 

[c.smock]

looks good!

 

[XtremelyYellow]

Thanks! I ended up turning the bike tray around so I could open the hatch.

 

[c.smock]

makes sense! lol

Nice Cannondale! I too use my P5 for my bike.

 

[XtremelyYellow]

Nice! What kind of bike rack do you have?
I'll get pics of both of my bikes on their this weekend. I have a Cannondale road bike as well.

Welcome! I saw your car and thought you might be interested in my can? LOL... I just started selling custom (personalized) oil catch cans. Our cars have major oil consumption problems and my cans help a little. Here's a link:

I have a universal Specialized rail. I never checked to see if mine does the same thing, makes me wonder...

It is... But I also have pink highlights in my hair... So I am NOT afraid of color

Sorry for pointing out issues only. You do have 50.3 lbs of plastic in your engine compartment. Intake and a header will fix that.

It's a good thing... With a used car there are bound to be things that need fixed, filled or replaced. Those are on my to do list. I really need tires next.

Welcome to your new obsession...er...I mean addiction...er....ah damn...welcome!

As you can see when those OEM parts start to fail and need to be replaced we can help you with finding nice light weight alternatives. lol

You mention tires will be needed soon. If you are not already aware the following sizes will fit your stock wheels with no issues:

195/50/16 (stock and hardly any choices)
205/50/16
205/45/16
215/45/16 (few run these but have said all is good)

And should you ever want to find a cheap way to 'upgrade' wheels, any 5-lug Mazda OEM wheel will fit. Some may require a little more work, ie: FDs or RX8s but it is possible.
