well, here comes the time to sell my Mazda 5. We have three cars and gotta get rid of one, the choice fell on Mazda. It's in great shape, you can search through my posts/replies and see what I have done with it. The rear sway bar bushings and rear struts have been replaced, so nothing to worry...

It's been a while since I've put an exhaust on a car (last one was about 7 years ago in a ricer). I was wondering if anyone has put an aftermarket exhaust on a 5 and if yes, what brand? More specifically I wanted to know the noise impact. How much louder is it? I do not want the "bumble bee"...

This was the last straw this weekend. The noise and bounciness got to me. It was also a post a saw here as to actually how cheap the rear struts are. So I've ordered Bushings: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CN5FHI/?tag=m20b7-20 and rear struts last night...

This has been boiling in my head for some time now. Just wanted to put a list of things I want to do with my 5. Things already done: -Pioneer 920BT DVD/GPS/BT HU (with steering controls) -Front component speakers Infinity 6809cs -Low beam HID, made by Kensun on Amazon, got the slim ballast...

So, while doing the speakers, I'll tear out the back to apply dynamat like material to kill some rattles and road noise. The reason I say "danamat like", I really don't want to spend the money for real Dynamat, plus not sure how much of an actual benefit I will see, since the car is not being...

So, on the list of things to do is the rear speaker replacemet. I've done my fronts and HU some time ago, now it's time to tackle the back. Has anyone put component speakers in the back? is it worth it? I put components in the front, since my ear is right there, it makes sense, not sure if it...

After the recent long drive under load (4 people and luggage) I'm very unsatisfied with my stock suspension (squeky, loud, and rough). I'm highly considering tearing out my suspension... I don't care about a drop, I care about quite and a reliable set up, but would like to have a...

For the people out there that are considering winter tires. For the first time in my life I put winter tires on a car :). Went to NH for Thanksgiving, and when my car would not make it up a tiny slope after a snow fall... decided that it was time to do something. I've found 16" rims from a...

Figured I'd post for anyone who needs info on this. If you cruise light starts to go off and you are not able to turn on cruise control, check your brake lights. I know it might sound silly. But at least on the manual '07, the brake switch is responsible for the turning on your brake lights as...

Quick question, I've seen some threads that say that Mazda3 alloy wheels will fit on Mazda5 (16"+). I was curious if the steel wheels on Mazda3 are 16" as well and will they fit (clear the brakes)? Any thoughts?

Hello, I'm looking to buy a set of rims, new or used (not bent) to put winter tires on. Pick up is available around 07932.

Figured I might as well say hi and introduce myself. I kind of jumped in by asking a question right way when registered, but here is my official intro. I have a 2007 Mazda 5 with 48k miles on it. had the car for 13 months bought it when it had 24k. Haven't really done anything with it, put a...

I would like to upgrade to an actual alarm, and not just an immobilizer/central lock. I really do not want to carry two fobs (but will if it's the only option), and found this online. http://www.xpresskit.com/product.aspx?productid=26 they also have one with clifford and viper brand stamp...

Hello everyone, I finally registered, but being reading the forums for some time now. I put in Pioneer x920bt in today and totally ignored the "vehicle speed" connection. I thought about it and decided to go ahead and connect it, any suggestion where I can pull the signal from? Thanks
