    anyone installed tweeters in their cx-5 ?

    Maybe you just need a little amp on the ones you put in the dash. That would drive them more adding some kick to the high end and you could control the level of them with the amp as well as the crossover point.

    Removing the rear windshield wiper assembly

    I've thought about removing mine as well as i never use it. I even asked the wife the other day if she uses it and she said, "there's a wiper back there?" lol. It leaves a hole though. So what was used to plug/cover that hole left behind.

    Reminder: Don't forget to take care of your black trim!

    Agreed on Meguiars Ultimate. Best store wax out there and it last pretty long. I even use it on plasti-dip parts and works like a champ. There is definitely a difference in wax quality. My cousin, who was a detailer, used to chuckle at my bucket-o-wax's so he brought over some stuff he used. I...

    Introducing The All-New 2014 Mazda3!

    I think it looks great. The styling is fresh and looks better than just about everything in its class. I especially dig the centrally mounted tach. I hope this car does well for Mazda.

    I'm relaxed Mikey. Your must be reading it wrong. I just don't think your aware of how you come off in a lot of your post. That's all. What I've given to this thread is based on my personal experience, yours is an opinion. Is it not?

    Has anyone played with ECU mapping?

    Modern automobiles come with a ballpark tune that's very conservative. This makes it useable in many climates all around the world. Generally speaking there's room for optimization in most situations. If a tune-able engine management system became available from a reputable company i would...

    I just want the Fog lights on...

    I did this to my six years ago and if i recall correctly it was as no pistons said. I think i rewired the ground to the drls so once they were on the fogs could be turned on or off. If there were a how to to do this for the 5 i would. I like to run the drls and fogs when its dusk or dawn...

    Are you getting the 430 miles range claimed by Mazda after filling up?

    433 miles from my most recent tank. Pretty much always get 400+ miles per tank. This is between me and my wife driving with a heavy right foot, mixed city and highway. Sport, fwd, manual.

    Has anyone played with ECU mapping?

    I've been tuning my six for over 2yrs now and i find it fun. I've learned a lot and made a huge difference in its overall performance. I would be all about tuning my CX-5 if it were possible. I'd bet some advance in timing on 93oct would give a nice bump in power. Maybe. I doubt any company...

    What size/type of wrench for oil drain plug?

    Mine came off with a regular old right angled Allen wrench. But a valve would be a nice addition while your down there.

    Catch Can

    While you are correct, i agree with the majority that in this position your catching nothing. Putting the OCC between the egr and intake mani is the most effective spot for it. Your right, oil does not come out of the egr. Spent exhaust gasses do. Which carry lots of useless crap along with NOx...

    Catch Can

    The problem lies in the EGR valve operation. It recirculates exhaust gases back into the intake manifold to reduce the amount of NOx the combustion generates. The OCC goes in between it and the intake manifold and basically filters the oily vapors via a medium inside the the can. This can reduce...

    Performance upgrades

    @bopper Thank you. It always rings true. I intend to go with RPF1's. In the 18x7.5 size, they weigh just under 17lbs. They're tried and true. I've had em before and they're great wheels as they're light weight and strong. And, they're not outrageously expensive. I also like the generic and...
