    Skyactiv Remote Turbo Build

    A proper weld isn't about "light penetration"... It is about joint fusion/penetration. Those welds are comparable to 4 year olds with a tube of tooth paste.

    CX-5 20x8 possible?

    Wheels don't measure only by diameter and width, but by offset as well... Your tire size will also play a major role.

    2016 LED Headlight & Taillight Retrofit to 2015 w/tech

    Clouds/haze on navigation maps?

    Terrain? Pretty cool none the less if it is intentional by design.

    Mazda Side View Monitor

    Seems like a dealership installed option comparable to the "360 view" cameras available from BMW, Infiniti, etc.

    Crashed my 2016 CX-5

    PDR can do wonders. The top notch fixes (even at heavy crease locations) can be flawless. Unfortunately, a good PDR artist is hard to find. PDR techs are common, but most I've come across can't do a perfect job. None the less, can't go wrong for $325.

    2016 interior trim swap

    I wrapped the piano black dash trim in 3M Brushed Titanium vinyl. The look and texture is extremely real. Unfortunately it is not a perfect match to the existing metallic trim, and it is not cold to the touch like real metal. I will use the remaining vinyl sheet to wrap the shifter panel and...

    Transmission shifting behavior AWD

    I find that the 2015 2.5L's transmission programming has everything I love about the 2013 2.0L's transmission, but Mazda turned it up a notch. Shifting is noticeably quicker and smooth both in auto and manual mode. That applies for both manual mode and auto. Shifts are matched perfectly and...

    Skyactiv Remote Turbo Build

    The fact that you're practically sourcing everything from eBay shows the quality/feasibility of a good build. Nice.

    How long do OEM tires last?

    Hit 36k miles on my OEM Toyo's. Still have a decent amount of thread left, and I would say ~8k-12k (safe) miles. Take into consideration that I am in no way easy on my tires as I take on/off ramps at the tire's limits at almost every opportunity (hence the reason I bought a CX-5 as a daily)...

    Lack of one touch close for the sunroof got me again

    This. My Infiniti had an auto close feature. The window motor for the sunroof would detect resistance and stop.

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    I've been thinking about those. Unfortunately I spent over $300 on Morimoto XB LED fogs for both the RX-8 and CX-5. Lights will have to take a rest. I'm also waiting to hear back from others about the CBI DS4's before I blow the money to experiment.

    Mazda Welcome Kit. You get one?

    Funny how I didn't get one for my 3 year financed CX-5, meanwhile my gf got one for her 3 year lease CX-5.

    18inch RX8 rims on CX-5

    They're actually 18x8 +50, that means +1" in width and -5 in offset (iirc CX-5 wheels are +55). The rare BBS forged R3 wheels are 19x8 +50.
