The stock wheel locks really are easy to defeat. If you've swapped your stock wheels for something expensive and are worried about thieves, these have kept the CCW wheels on my RX-7 safe and sound for years. https://advancedlocks.com

I've been been driving my '19 GolfR for about...s***, 5 years now and pretty much every time I get in it I wish I would have demanded the 3 pedal manual. The DSG is technically faster, but losing the footwork really sucks. I don't even bother with the paddles, I just keep the car in race mode...

We bought an RF because we like playing around at the track and didn't want to deal with installing a rollbar. It's almost strange how many compliments the Miata gets at gas station and car meets. Mazda still has the ability to make good looking sports cars, that's for sure.

2 scenarios: 1: I blew up my nearly new sub10k mile Protege5 chasing an EVO8 up Hwy 9 back in 2004 or so. I took off my mods and brought it back to the dealer. They replaced the engine, no questions asked. "Oil starvation due to cornering" was what they put on my receipt for the new engine...

The lip was made by AutoExe. IIRC DG made a carbon fiber autoexe knock off that was pretty nice though. :)

Protege5 appreciation thread! 🤠👍 I still miss mine

Back when we had our NB, I got a coupon for a free oil change so I took it to the dealer. I parked it, went inside, and told them why I was there. I watched as a technician went outside, hopped into it and backed it straight into a UPS truck. I was so pissed. It had maybe 7k miles at the time...

This guy has a pretty cool youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3S8udUSKtY

Mazda has the BT-50 pick up truck, but it's not offered in North America and it's really an Isuzu anyway. They used to have the Navajo in the 90's, which we could buy, but it was just an Explorer. Kind of weird, really. Toyota can't sell enough 4runners...also, bring back the Suzuki Sidekick!

Hopefully the buyer got the mats, because I didn't. In fact I just got notice that I won our little Paypal dispute and got my money back. Thread closed, buyer beware.

I'd rather hang with Joe anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nbAm6AiSrY

Stef Shrader probably has a purple buzz cut and drives a Prius. 🤣

They had me at rotary range extender. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/the-mazda-mx-30-ev-marks-the-rotary-engine-s-return-but-as-a-range-extender/ar-AA14qfzw

They weight around 17 and a half pounds...a tiny bit more than Mazdaspeed 6 wheels, which are 18's. ;)

Stock is the only thing that won't clunk even worse. Sorry, I don't have a CX-5, but that was the case in my Mazdaspeed Protege. Urethane will not only clunk, but squeak too. Mazda may have traded some NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) for better cornering. It sounds like your bushings lasted...

Hallman has a great rep for MBCs. If you're over boosting, the problem may lie in the wastegate. Does your MSP still have a stock turbo?

I'll take em. :cool: Paypal OK? If so can I get your PP address and a price, shipped to California, 95062? Thanks!

Smurf Nasty did it before blowing up his car and he seems super smart, so I say definitely cut your muffler off and put on a 5" chrome, or better yet titanium colored exhaust tip from eBay. I'm pretty sure back pressure has nothing to do with air fuel ratio on a turbocharged car anyway. Don't...
