    Suspension choices - going stout, not comfy

    I'm pretty sure I remember someone on here had air shocks as well, for the ability to change the damping on demand that option is hard to beat. I don't really thing anyone has found something that really makes the rear shocks more durable, though the Koni FSD drew some harsh comments early on...

    Random oil leak ?!

    ^^Man have you been lucky! I mean skilled, skilled is what I meant LOL Those filters are cranked out by the hundreds of thousands it was only a question of time before a bad one turned up in your hands.

    How to remove window run channels?

    What he said^^ There is no way the OEM visors are any better and I'm sure they are a LOT more money than the WELL visors. Mine are sitting under the Christmas tree with a little bow on them mocking me as we speak:p

    HOLY CRAP THE WHOLE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN!!! Oh no wait, that's just the picture. LOL Welcome to the forum, I will be very interested to see what you have to do to get the RX8 seats to bolt into the 5. As far as I know that is a swap that hasn't been tried yet. If it does work without major...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    I would take advantage of the freakishly warm weather going on right now and pull the bumper off to complete your repair. What you have done so far looks pretty good, but I would bet that once Canadian winter sets in the JB Weld will pop off the plastic of the bumper. I used "gaffers tape" on...

    WELL Visors

    And the background ain't too shabby either! My picture would be better suited to their "ghetto fabulous" line, if they had one LOL It would be my van, dirty, with one of our famous "gentlemens clubs" in the background. Maybe a Berkeley County sheriff car with the lights on for flavor :p

    WELL Visors

    Get yourself a set for Christmas like I did! They are dirt cheap, roughly half the cost of the AVS visors and they use a better attachment method as well. Mine are already en route to boot

    Speakers in Sliding doors

    Damn, I never realized it was that tight a fit with the doors open! I just assumed there was plenty of daylight between them with the doors open. I just went out and opened both my sliders and you are 100% correct its really a close fit....

    Blew a rear shock!!!

    Let me guess, it was there for an oil change and they would have been more than happy to "take care of it" for you.

    WELL Visors

    And now he's a film star as well, great....LOL Do they fix the problem of rain running off the windshield and into an open drivers window? How much are they and where can I get them...Edit, I'm an ass. I clinked on the link you provided and got my answers. Looks like I'm getting some window...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Cool, i figured as much. I can't believe what a last minute hack job they did engineering the damned filters. The filter change on my wifes CRV is a 5 minute no tool job!

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Finally watched a YouTube video on replacing the cabin air filter and decided to actually do the job instead of thinking about it. LOL If I disassemble the thing and DO NOT find a filter in place can I simply slide the correct filters in there? I guess, my question is, did the 06 even have a...

    Speakers in Sliding doors

    I think the hard part will be keeping all that plastic and sheet-metal from rattling, buzzing, knocking to your tunes when you crank it up. I suppose if you used rubber sheet under the mounting points. Probably the only way to find out is to try it and see what happens. I'd rather get a...

    Which transmission do you have the auto or a manual? If manual, does the trouble disappear when you push in the clutch?

    Lets say I want better seats...

    Speed3 seats, way more worth the time and effort. The GT seats are the same seats covered in cows instead of cloth...Or is it covered in vinyls? :p

    Replacing the NV-8110

    You absolutely can replace your factory head unit with something aftermarket. There are several sources of good audio (and nav!) units out there. Check out Crutchfield for a good start, they will often discount the install kit (which includes the faceplate you will need for the new stereo to...
