My .02 Telematics is a problematic issue especially when the uses of that data and its ownership are undefined. The security and collection of the data used by the Internet of Things (IOT) connectivity, that have become standard in most everyday devices, does leave a lot to be desired (IMO) but...

Blasphemous they didn't have an MSP in the museum 😒

I still rock my Mazdas 24/7 black t-shirt on occasion but it seems the damn 'dryer' has shrunk it and it fits like a muscle T now...😐

Joined because I had never owned a turbo car before and been lurking for over 15 years. I learned tons from just reading and staying out of the fray the MSP boards could be when some of the myriad personalities would flex and the flaming was flinging everywhere!

Oil change, changed out spark plugs, clean/oiled K&N air filter and got the spacer fitment issue resolved.

Got the rear spacers machined to proper size and mounted. Rear view and did note that excess weight in the back may require fender rolling. Thanks for all the input/replies.

Yep, installed extended lugs when I first went with the Ichiba 10mm spacers. I installed the 12mm spacers (with no issue of fitment) on the front rotors/hubs and was able to get 9-10 turns on tightening before applying the torque wrench.

Stopped in a engine shop that does machining and the owner listened as I explained the problem. He measured the new spacer and old spacer hub-centric ring I provided and cautioned against modifying the new spacer until I had thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned the rear hubs. They were kinda crusty...

Damn, not gonna be plug-n-play like I hoped. Thanks for the info and now gotta research a local engine/machining shop.

Adding a can of Sea Foam to your fuel tank is fine. BG 44k fuel system cleaner is also a very good product to use annually. BG 44k Platinum

Mazda has been considered a 'niche' brand by many other vehicle owners. I've owned Mazda Proteges since 1992 and love them for their body design, handling (Zoom-Zoom), and reliability. I always love seeing Proteges and MP5s still on the road and chat up the owners when the chance arises.
