I've got 89k and change miles. . .as for gear oil, there's Mazda OE fluid in there, not sure if/when it's been changed. I have the grinding when completing shifts from 4-to-3, and on occaision 2-to-3, when I'm running at 6k+ RPM. I'd be open to any suggestions on updating/grading the gear oil...

Got one for you....with both keys. Feel free to PM me back..

Any news? I'm having issues going from 3 to 4 consistently...anyone have some suggestions for Replacement synchros, or gear sets? GTX was mentioned in another thread....

Hi Silentnoise713, how about a Mazda OEM (Thule) roof rack in trade for the springs? I've also got a Thule Flat Top set for 6 skis/4 boards if interested...

Thanks Sarge for the heart attack. . .as a former multi-Honda/Acura owner this would have been a really hard question to answer, if it were coming Stateside. What's the BHP option(s)? Given the target US market for this, we'd probably see an anemic Civic motor if it ever puddle-jumped...

I just installed OEM front mud guards on our new M5 Sport - no side sill extensions though the installation sheet seemed easy enough to follow if you had to cut the trim. An easy 3-screw affair (that doesn't sound right. . .) and they were ready to go in :15min. You might want to check that...
