    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I'm redoing my garage as well. It will be a basic man cave. With Dolby Atmos Klipsch system w/125" motorized screen, two workbenches, tool box, etc. I have installed a diy mini split A/C which is great, it gives cold and heat as well. It is smart on top of that. Last week I have changed the oil...

    Chris_Top_Her Build Thread 2

    Good job Chris. I will never have this issue, mine is only a 2WD. I don't see the point for 4WD in the city.

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    At complete maxed out turning, the tire may rub. I have just noticed it now, after some years. I have a bit of a stretched tire setup, to clear the fender. I'm lowered though 3-1/4". My setup is 20"/ET36/9.25" all around. I'm using 245/45/R20 tires...

    Any performance mods?

    These cars are not WRX, or STIs. There are some tunes as well. Lowering springs, coilovers, swaybars.

    How many miles, until you had to change your struts?

    I have asked Koni and they said, that the yellows are OK with my dropped CX5. When I need new shocks I will just go with them.

    Initial Review of KONIS Shocks/Struts

    I was thinking about this with my CS springs. I may do it when time comes to replace my struts. I'm at 59xxxk myself. It still feels fine though. These struts have softness adjustment possibility(front are rear)? I'm not familiar with these struts.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    But Mazda has better ones, or they would give you the same thing?

    How many miles, until you had to change your struts?

    I haven't check for leaks yet, but I'm on CS springs(~50k miles already) and I'm at almost 60k, I don't feel like I need new struts.

    How many miles, until you had to change your struts?

    Thanks Chris for that, but I think that I will get something else, a toolbox. Maybe I will get them for my birthday.

    How many miles, until you had to change your struts?

    3-1/4". Most likely. I'm also thinking, how about a set of Konis? I would still retain the same stance, but with sport struts, should be better. If I remember correctly they are adjustable, at least the front ones.

    How many miles, until you had to change your struts?

    A bit, most likely, because I'm riding on the factory struts and they are softer then it should be. I'm bottoming out once in a while. I understand that this is what you have to deal with, if you lower your ride that much.

    Steering wheel audio controls works sometimes, sometimes not

    I hope that I don't have to reprogram that thing, because it is a nightmare.

    Steering wheel audio controls works sometimes, sometimes not

    I suspect the switch myself, but I thought, let's ask here and see, if others are having issues with the switch and that could confirm my suspicion. I don't remember, to get to the switch, the steering wheel has to be disassembled? It's been a while since I have installed the paddles.

    Head gasket blown? 2014 2.5l CX-5

    Everybody so easily replaces engines, it is crazy. Just find the broken part, and replace it.
