While i didn't assume this was a launch control it sure as hell works like one. I didn't go back to see if it left rubber and i doubt it did anyway. I dunno why one would have doubts about the tranny and motor mounts. They would be designed from the factory to handle what the vehicle is...

From what i've experienced and gathered this is a common thing on modern manual trans cars. Its called "rev hang" and its an emissions thing. My speed 6 does it too. And yes i hate it as well. Honda's are the worst, as they hang rev's for a really long time. Its really noticeable when i jump in...

If were on the same page i think its a matter of clutch engagement. I feel there are moments where the clutch catches suddenly and chokes off the motor a bit no matter how smooth you are. Almost like dumping the clutch at low rpm. The motor is to weak to over come this and feels flat for a...

Ha! Its clutch is strong. It had no problem putting the power to the wheels. The generic stock tires have trouble making it stick for a second but it goes as hard as it can without problems. I don't think the factory clutch will have any problems handling the little torque this motor puts out...

If its not it sure works like one. Here's how to engage it. Obviously the car should be running. 1. Push the clutch in. 2. Put it in first gear. 3. Mash the throttle and hold it there. And bam! It rev's to 4k and sits there. Dump the clutch, the tires scramble for traction and your off. I...

Gotta be 22's. Those are huge. I've got no interest in that though they dwarf the brakes and probably weigh a lot. 155hp and 22" rims = slooooow among other negative's. Gimme a drop on some 18" RPF1's and i'll be happy.

That stance looks good to me. Even wheel gap all the way around the wheel. Not slammed but a proper stance. Those wheels look pretty damn good too. Thanks for posting that pic.

Hopefully we'll have a solution by spring. (no pun intended) I like to stock pile parts threw winter then have at it when the weather turns. And maybe there will be a cold air intake, or at least a cold air box for your intake by then as well.

You should keep them in stock then. From what i've gathered a few people have tried to buy them from you and could not. In fact, maybe you should post on here when you have them in stock.

Thats what i'm saying. It will come, especially if mazda continues to offer the manual with the larger engine (2.5L) and the diesel.

I believe torque between rear wheels is handled by the limited slip differential. This is a mechanical device that sense's the difference in wheel speed and locks accordingly to control slip. Rather or not the CX-5 awd has LSD in the rear is unknown to me. But thats how it works in my Speed 6...

i've noticed no notchiness in mine at all. Its shifts smoothly and quickly without hesitation. Make sure your guiding the shifter and not forcing it.

Agreed. The escape by comparison is ugly with its frowning maw. I didn't even test drive it for that reason. I don't see the curb appeal. I look at the cx5 and see it has lots of potential to gather more curb appeal and demand and additional over the shoulder glance on the way into the...

Its possible they're the same. If anything the miata's may be smaller which would be no good. iirc, the miata is 67.1? I agree with njaremka. just lift it up and test fit it.

Cool. We're getting some where. If we could have springs made available to market by spring i think Corksport would do well with it. Who knows, maybe they'll pound out a CAI for it too.

Ya no big deal. Just hack em and get it done. You won't regret it.

@sandrock did you get the springs yet?

Cool ideas there. Try a new look and just peel it off when your over it.

At that point one would just custom the stock springs. But i would assume that would possibly wreck ride quality.

Good deal. Now all we need are factory speaker harness's and everything will be plug and play.
