    How did you break-in your engine?

    But that’s on high end sports cars like McLaren, corvettes, m3’s, and race cars (typically not Mazdas, Honda, Toyota, etc.) I talked to a few new vette owners and they weren’t able to rev above 3k till they hit 500+miles.

    1-2 misfires on 2014 CX-5 2.5L - Should I be worried?

    Best off taking the coil packs from Cylinder three and four, and moving them to banks one and two. Move coil packs 1 & 2 and moving them to cylinder 3 & 4 (basically swapping them). This way you can see if the problem follows the coil pack or not. This will save you money on purchasing new coil...

    I guess I’ve been lucky as I haven’t had as many issues as others, but then again before disconnecting the original connectors/harness I unplugged the battery, then plug in the fortune, then plug the battery back in then program the key.

    CX-5 Feels squirrelly

    Sounds like you don’t take it off road/drifting. Not jeep off road but you know what I mean. I take my cars snow drifting/off roading every year. FWD, AWD,RWD. I recently upgrade my bushings on my older RWD car as the Bushings began to show tears (dry rot) which leads to clunking noises. After...

    To each their own, but I could definitely appreciate what you’re saying. But CompuStar, cobra, etc and I forgot the name of the other ones are expensive in comparison, and that money could be a better used for other mods to the car. It takes all of five minutes to unscrew the few screws and...

    “I was not aware of this Forten feature”. We get four or five years for inspection on new cars. After that, it’s two or three years. It’s an easy fix though just unplugged the Forten connectors. Plug back in All the original connectors and drive for about 50 to 75 miles and assuming there’s...

    CX-5 Feels squirrelly

    Poor alignment easy to tell. Find a flat surface go up to at least 30 to 40 miles an hour, and if the steering wheel is straight, your alignment is more than likely fine. Additionally, if you did hit a pothole or a curb, there’s little weights that they add to the rims to balance them they...

    CX-5 Feels squirrelly

    I took it to my mechanic and he found the shock/strut leaking. Car was under warranty but I’m not a fan of dealerships/service departments. While there they put car on stand and confirmed leaky shock. They replaced the left rear but refused to replace the right rear shock. About month later the...

    I’ve installed on multiple CX fives, And have not had an issue yet as long as you follow the directions properly, I’m sure there’s a small portion of people who do not know how to read, let alone plug-in and follow directions. And it would definitely suck to be without a car that starts not to...

    those that you mentioned are quality but much more difficult to install. Also, there’s lots of write ups and pictures on how to install the Fortnite one and it cost me under $40 versus the ones that you listed cost hundreds of dollars.

    How many miles on your CX-5 turbo?

    Under 10,000 on my CX five turbo. But my last one was a 2019 with over 45,000 miles before it was totaled and the motor was 100% as was a majority of the car except for the damage but because of all the new technology they freaking total loss.

    2017~2024 Weird feeling accelerating with CX-5 Turbo

    I’ve owned a lot of turbo cars with all kinds of turbo lagging. This one has the least amount of turbo lag compared to all the other cars I’ve had. That includes a Mazda speed three. Chances are, it’s your transmission might be slipping or it could be that you have a lot of miles, and the carbon...

    Not enough people with CX-8 on this board. You might be the guinea pig but I’m pretty sure it’ll work fine for your car. You could always give them a call and ask them. worse comes to worse you could always return offer the seller, a cheaper deal if they’re not willing to do the return to be the...

    #2 for me too. My new CX five has the remote start from my cell phone but it’s only for a couple years so once it runs out I’ll be throwing in the Forten remote start.
