That's very interesting. Thank you for that information! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'm not cranking out tons of miles on our CX-5 - closing the gap on 60K. But, had it over 4 years now, and it's never been to a Mazda dealership. That's pretty telling I think. Sure, there's a recall or two. However, I've never really experienced any of the associated anomalies to justify any...

I agree, best I've ever owned on OE. Mine lasted right at 4 years, nearly to the day, and I know had I not been so neglectful of them this last year, I'd have gotten more out of them. As for cleaning, I clean mine every time I wash my cars. Nothing special, just use the same soapy water...

Sorry about the hail damage... I just knew it was coming for my wife's CX-5. We were out and about that evening, around 9PM in Keller (at the pediatric urgent care clinic no less), watching that funnel cloud droop down above our neighborhood. I've got the Buick and my Mazda in our garage at...

Thanks for the input, gentlemen. Just placed an order for a full set of OE refills - 35 bucks shipped. :D Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Hate to revive such an ancient thread, but just wanted to say that I found the OE to be fantactic blades. I did my best to keep both the windshield cleaned and treated and also keep the blades clean, which I've found increases the life exponentially. Anyhow, bought my CX-5 exactly 4 years ago...

No way my old lady will allow me to purchase one. But, boy do I dream. Haven't soon forgot the Driving Experience at TMS. Awesome car. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

^To answer your question, not likely, because as proven in the posts above, not even folks who should know are privy to the information you shared. It's a shame to approach a service manager at a dealership only to be presented with incompetence... Anyway, closing the gap on 4 years with my...

I think the real question would be in regards to owning an uninspiring pseudo sport lux sedan as a weekend car. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

^Yup. That's a fact. Consider the VW fraud a significant setback in the USDM for many years to come. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

These are by hand? How in the world do you nail the proportion and symmetry so well? I've never been able to free hand geometric shapes very well. I'm good at portraits, but there's way more margin for error than with objects of engineering. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Dude, I have a CX-7 K04. You can have it for free, if you pay for shipping. I'm in Fort Worth. You intend to rebuild the eBay junker unit anyway. Rebuild this one. It cane be done cheaply. Oil provisions are there, you can swap out the waste gate actuator to your liking and run spring pressure...

I don't think you're pouring enough thought into this. There's some serious engineering, with alot of physics involved in turbocharging, and it isn't a matter of making it fit, making it boost and tuning for it. A native, fundemental element to turbocharger operation is exhaust heat. You've...

A few things I haven't seen expressly addressed... Fuel - are you certain both pumps are capable of fulfilling the fueling requirements needed for a turbo application? Mounting - I see where you intend to mount it, and I agree with Mike. It looks horrifying. That does NOT look like a smart...

Sorry, folks, but PDR doesn't require high skill level. Autobody does, however, and folks in that trade who can actually make proper, long lasting repairs to autobody, and follow up with a skillfull paint job are talented. As stated, PDR may be tedious and time consuming, but it isn't nearly...

No, only a libertarian has a true sense *of liberty. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I work in supply and distribution - believe me, it's commonality to get end consumers and even retailers and wholesalers making accusations about quality control. Most typically, E10 is blended by distributors. This product is splash or ratio blended in bulk, usually 5000 to 8000 gallons into...

Pretty funny. And while it may be true a large portion of income earners in the state earn from "petroleum money", it's nonsense to propose we exploit inefficiency for commerce. I earn from oil - I work in refined products, supply and distribution. It's coincidental. I can promise you I'm...

Tremendous accomplishment. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I neglected to mention, because it isn't a fair comparison, my 3 with ceramic tint doesn't necessarily cool quicker, but cools more effectively, and once cool, can be maintained at a much lower fan speed setting. The 3 has way less space in the cabin to cool, but it is quite obvious the tint...
