Sorry to revive an old thread? But does anyone know the part number for 1st gen MS3 wheel center caps? I already got one set on ebay that didn't fit :)

This past weekend I finally found that tire busting pothole! I had a decision to make. Buy two new tires, or mount the tires on the new (used) wheels I got over the winter. I just had to put on my new wheels. She looks great. Now I am pondering whether I should leave the ride as is, or...

Yes, the pads still had something left in them, but after 9 New England winters, the brakes needed some attention. I would have loved to have enough time to clean everything and paint the calipers, but that will be something for another day :)

2013 Mazda 5 Sport, rear brakes. I never got around to do the rears, but it was a matter of time.

The OEM heated seat switches are mounted next to the cupholders. If you were to take this panel out and look on the other side, there will be markings for the holes to be removed for the switch installation.

Thank you so much for posting this. I will be doing the same in the spring. Already have some of the mounts. Where did you get your aluminum Ford mount?

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I was looking as to why Koni changed the part number for the rear shock on 2nd gen MSP3. With regards to their STR.T product line, the first gen MSP3 and 2nd gen M5 share the same part number (8050 1140). For 2nd gen MSP3, the rear shock has a different...

I did this on my 13 Sport a little over 3.5 years ago. Not sure why I tied it to a 15A fuse. I believe it was the lowest fuse that was also always powered when the engine is running. I threw some zip ties at this setup, to ensure that nothing came loose and seems to be doing well. My dashcam...

I always refer to this site for questions like this. Wheel Offset Calculator It seems that with 225 width and +50 offset, the tire will be about 1/3 inch closer to suspension and almost 1/2 inch closer to the fender. Overall tire height delta is practically negligible. Seems like you could be...

Finally, a new driveway scenery :)

Ok, this was news to me. I was just on vacation in the Caribbean and saw many cools cars that are not available in the states. Even got a chance to drive on the "wrong" side of the road for a day in a new Vitara. I was very happy to see some 2nd gen Proteges running around (my first Mazda :)...

Today was more of an unpleasant surprise, but better to have done it now before the weather turns to total sh%t. I replaced both of the rear shock mounts two years ago. I had to settle for whatever local parts stores had in stock. Even though it has not snowed at all, the roads have been...

It could be the sliding door roller that has worn off over time and needs replacement. This YouTube clip covers this: 2012 Mazda 5 sliding door roller replacement Hope this helps.
