    Turning off traction control for quicker start in the rain?

    Yes.. the power cut is excessive and you will lose acceleration assuming you have good tires. The more you explore the tcs/dcs the more you may find it counterintuitive a lot of times

    Good wheel setup for 2014 CX-5?

    Oh, your post read like you were looking to upgrade to an aftermarket wheel size.. in which case, sound isn't a metric important to me, grip and sidewall stiffness is. I don't have any recommendation in that respect.

    Good wheel setup for 2014 CX-5?

    Tbh 20x8.5 offset 40. Skip the 19's due to tire choices. Tires/wheels are cheap and the width gives good grip width options (255 a good width), that aren't excessive for power/cornering ability. 40 offset (on a 8.5" wide wheel) gives a "flush" appearance, but it's actually a few mm inside the...

Never got the stud al the way back in, but uts in enough to be mechanically sound. I did get a new drud however, for some future use. Although when that time comes I'm likely going...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Rear shock removal question

    You shouldnt have to remove the stud, in fact that's risky and it isn't supposed to come out (however the design sucks and it happens). They actually updated that part in the newer cx5s. Once you remove the 17mm bolt from the lca you can pull/compress the shock down by hand and wiggle it off.

    2012 Mazda CX5 - Differential Mount Bushing

    You have to bang it out (might be hard with the diff still in place), and you will have to unbolt the nut securing the differential through it. Easier just to fill it with an adhesive or urethane.
