2009 Mazda 5, 147k miles, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, $1500 (updated from $2000). Second owner, had it since 2011, bought it used from a BMW dealer with 52k miles on it. Clean title, no check engine codes, everything in the drivetrain works properly. Selling because my wife wanted a new car, AC isn't...

Hey folks, I'll post a proper sale thread once it's vacuumed and washed, but I thought I'd give a little notice beforehand. This is the car that was seen here: That huge suspension install thread I did years ago ^^ ultra healthy. 153hp crank rating from the factory should show about...

I don't know that I ever saw it discussed, but here it is. I overboosted the brightness and contrast on the pictures so that you guys could hopefully see things better. Apologies for the night time pics and lack of additional clearance photos- but we were doing this outside in the snow at 1am on...

Hey guys, the time has come to move on from the sliding door stickshift fun box and onto something new. If nobody expresses interest in the entire car as it sits, I'll be bringing it back to stock this weekend. Assuming we don't head to Houston to hang/help with the folks. This is the car...

Hey fellas, it's been a while. Things at work have been ridiculously busy, and once I lost touch on the car forums, I just didn't go back for a while- to any of them. My Honda guys miss me too. So I'm fixing the 5's AC right now. Hate that Mazda won't sell just the clutch, but I found a place...

Hadn't seen it posted and it just went up Sunday night, so here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUO-lPubXeI

I know I've been offline for a while, but things have been pretty busy with family and work. I need to catch up on the forum in a BIG way (and write a few articles I owe you guys), but for now- help me support a good cause- the fight against diabetes (or diabeetus if you're Wilford Brimley)...

Had to share- I shot this on Friday while Bob Norwood (some of you may know who he is) was tuning one of his Ferrari 308 Bonneville race cars at the shop. It's an alcohol fueled Ferrari V8 2.0L (destroked) that revs out to 12,000rpm. The sound is just awesome. Enjoy. :)...

The other day, I thought I had seen a post about wanting a heavier rear spring that would keep the 5 more level when carrying heavy loads but without lowering the car. Would there be interest in a pair of springs like this? I have a local shop that specializes in suspension and likes to...

http://main.diabetes.org/goto/phunky.buddha Hey everybody, this Saturday I'm riding 32 miles to help raise awareness and money for diabetes research. If you've had a family member or anyone you know that has to deal with diabetes, you know how much it sucks. Help make it better! Donation link...

Just released, and I think it's pretty awesome. 10 minutes of hooning! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuDN2bCIyus&feature=youtu.be

http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123814536-MZ5-Baseline-Dyno-%28MZ3-2.3L-also%29 Not sure how everyone reads the forums- I always hit "new posts" so I see everything anyway- but if you don't, I posted up some baseline MZR 2.3L numbers over on the Mazda5 section. Just another data...

So while I was in the shop today resetting the ride height of my BC Coilovers which I still owe this forum the full writeup on, I figured I'd throw the 5 on the dyno for fun. Here are the charts. The first run had the best power measurement (coldest engine run), but I forgot to shut the AC...

Hey folks, I'm looking for just ONE wheel for test fitment purposes. I'd prefer a Miata / MX-5 wheel, 17x7 +55 since that's what I have. Anything else that's a 17x7 in 5x114.3 lug pattern with an offset of +50 or deeper (+52.5, +55) would work fine too. The width and lug pattern are what I'm...

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BASHT6/?tag=m20b7-20 Has anyone had any experience with this? I can't for the life of me find any info anywhere online- all that comes up when you search "godspeed manifold" anywhere are intake manifolds, tubular turbo manifolds, and cheap intercoolers. If this is...
