    All-New 2017 Mazda CX-5 To Be Previewed At Novembers Los Angeles Auto Show?

    Does anyone know if there will be a retro-fit kit for existing 2.5L Cx-5? Maybe with a piggy back Greddy e-manage? My '14 only has 10k miles so not interested in trading.

    Jack or Lift Fail scenario in CX-5 ?

    I am going to start wrenching (sway bars for now until the new CX-9 2.5L turbo has a retro fit kit) but don't want to invest $2500 in a Bendpak lift for minor mods. What is the worst case scenario if a jack or stand fails with factory height springs? Will I be crushed or just get the wind...

    Anyone have experience with a rear sway bar?

    I wish I had that service available here. How much do they charge per hour to rent the lift? Just curious. Thx

    What's the biggest tire I can fit for the CX-5 ?

    I want the biggest and widest AT tires mounted on an used set of 20x8.5 +42 wheels that I can fit. I rarely drive it so speedo does not have to be perfect. Does anyone know the max diameter and width that won't cause rubbing issue when making u-turns? Will I need spacers? Help appreciated.

    Skyactiv Remote Turbo Build

    Been away from the site for a couple years and just chugging along with a whopping 9,800 miles in the last 3 years. :D Time for my first tire rotation. Chris the last time I was lurking you had a flashed ECU that returned a 0-60 time of 7 seconds flat. Now a turbo is in your sights, so what...

    Need help choosing new wheels!

    Now this is a good look for the CX-5 but I also like the Zenetti multi-spoke. 22s rock but would be stolen same night in my part of Miami. 20s are old news and will still look good for the CX5.

    Eibach Pro-Kit: Subtle, Clean Drop

    I have the pro-kit on my '01 Lexus RX300 and the difference was more confidence in the turns, slightly (5%) stiffer on the straights. Later added wheels/tires with 20" and handles like my '07 X5. Still wondering why Eibach is not making the NA version available, I would prefer it and possibly...

    Koni Shocks Coming Spring 2015

    Not sure I would change shocks/struts/dampers for a 1" drop with a pro-kit, unless needed for show or racing purpose, but not for daily driver. Maybe I would consider them if doing a serious drop with corksport 3" springs. Are these Koni shorter or stock length?

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    Anybody have a pearl white CX5 with rims other than black? I am curious to see it in silver, machined, chrome, etc. When I checked online tire rack, the CX5 color looks light grey and not pearl white. Thanks

    CX-5 rattles

    Forget the rattles, wait until the rust starts.. Mine is rusting in the door hinges and dealers says the warranty only covers panel perforation and not the hinges so I am SOL. Just my luck since I have a white one and it stands out every time I open the door.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Sweet.. my local nursery owner has one tricked with HUGE sequential turbos and running 8's in the 1/4. I want to get me another Rx7 and a 91-97 Miata since I don't fit in the new ones. See I can find them cheap and just tinker with them in the back yard.

    I think you are the only one I've seen here with so many mods, have you been sponsored yet? Also have you been in any car show events? Thanks

    Who else is waiting impatiently for the 2016 CX-5?

    Damn, the 16s are already out, now my ride is 2 years old. Thankfully I can't really see any difference and most of the exterior looks like Altezza aftermarket styling. The wheels look like the 2009 Civic Si 17" wheels I swapped onto on my LX, but the DRL LEDs look nice though. It looks like...

    City MPG is lower than expected

    I wonder how the manufacturer gets those EPA numbers on the window sticker? I get 21.8mpg but its mainly short 10 minute trips with the blue light on most of the time. I'm sooo disappointed and just don't care about mpg anymore, next time I'll just get a Tesla X when it arrives next year- just...
