    Which Fortin remote start more suitable: EVO-MAZT1 or EVO ONE + Maz3 T harness

    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.

    2017~2025 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...

    CX-5 Feels squirrelly

    Had the same problem with my Mazda protégé5 was driving weirdly on the highway. Meaning, I had to constantly adjust the steering, even though the road was perfectly flat, and recently paved.

    Which Fortin remote start more suitable: EVO-MAZT1 or EVO ONE + Maz3 T harness

    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...

    Which Fortin remote start more suitable: EVO-MAZT1 or EVO ONE + Maz3 T harness

    #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.

    First Auto Tranny Fluid Change at 95k (2015 CX-5)

    That lifetime fluid is nonsense. On a normal driving car. They’ve developed the fluid to last up to 100,000 miles but that’s for a granny drivers. After you hit the 100k miles it’s always recommended to do it every 50,000 miles assuming you’re not towing or driving aggressively. Most...

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I know it’s a little late with my reply, but that old car got totaled before I had a chance to provide results. I was able to put some of the parts on the new car, and to be honest, I get better gas mileage out of this new turbo, CX five versus the one with 44,000 on it.

    CorkSport Mazda Turbo 2.5L Catted Downpipe

    I’m fine with a high flow cat. In the old days they had a trick I posted in the protege5 forums for tricking the 2nd O2 sensor. Unsure if it will work with those new cars but another trick is to make the bung hole deeper so that it doesn’t senses all of the poison coming out the exhaust.

    There are two ways to reset, throttle response on your Mazdas: 1. Firstly, slowly press the gas pedal to the floor. This should take around four seconds, and once the pedal hits the floor, leave it there for another three seconds or so. In the same way, if you press the accelerator pedal down...

    I can’t drive with 35 PSI (in OEM Toyo tires)!

    Playing around with tire pressure is what people who race do. But get a real set of tires if you want grip or better mpg.

    2022-2023 CX-5 Turbo Red grille accents?

    It just seems like a lost opportunity. They worked so hard to bring mazdaspeed name into the streets and best we get is a label on a piece of paneling. They should have speed version of the mazda3/6/cx-30 at very least. Slightly Larger turbo 280-300hp or cx-90 TT V6, more rigid, awd, and it...
