We attended the American Le Mans Finale at Laguna Seca over the weekend and had a blast. Got to meet the Tri Point Mazda Touring Car team. Awesome guys specially Randy Pobst. Down to earth grassroots racer. Here are some Mazda pics my 9 y/o and I took (in this album),Enjoy ...

The unfortunate happened. Yesterday afternoon, my wife was driving on a regular blvd./Ave. . Vehicle in front of her stopped abruptly, She stopped before hitting him, car behind her was coming at a good speed then BAM! Not sure what the damage to the 5 is as they had it towed to a garage but my...

Took it up north from the SFO area to Santa Rosa, Petaluma and a stay in Clear Lake. About a 400 mile trip total. The 5 performed flawlessly as always. Mileage was pretty good, 24mpg going, 28 mpg return. Here are a couple of pics taken behind our resort right by the lake on a rainy Wednesday: :)

It's the raceway's 50th anniversary. Went to their open house last Saturday together with Champ Car test sessions.It was a blast and my daughter had a blast too. Here are a few pics: Yes, it's a REAL Hertz GT350 with a "zoom-Zoom" sticker ! Pace Cars(there was a CX-7 Pace Car but it wasn't a...

So I've had a pair of Orion mid-bass speakers from my Odyssey sitting in my garage. I've decided to put one to good use and install it in one of the cubbyholes in the rear . Mind you this is an experiment. We'll see what bass I can get out of it. Not looking for much. Just enough to fill the...

Anyone have a hold of one for the 5 ?I'm installing aftermarket fogs on a Sport so I don't have the option for fogs on the steering stalk.I know the 5 is pre-wired up front and need to know where those wires lead to so I can hook-up a switch to them. TIA :)

Just a few I was able to take of the Mazda 3's at our race yesterday One of a MS3 I spotted but didn't run. Another of a 3 on track:

Here's a picture of the Fumoto Valve I installed today during my oil change(sorry for the blurry shot. It was tough taking a pic under the 5 !):

Long story short, bought new race tires for my WRX, wife taking them to get mounted/balanced tomorrow. In the rear:4 wheels/tires standing, 1 new tires standing, 1 new tire sideways. In the second row: 2 new tires laying on seatback. Other second row seat to be occupied by my daughter (school...

I ended up buying one from a member on the other site. It was a blue one so I painted it with some of my plastic model paint.This was the closest I had to Mazda silver. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic: :)

Received my free touch-up paint yesterday (after I already had bought a bottle) and a "Zoom-Zoom" sticker about 2 months ago. I have NEVER received freebies after I bought a brand new car until now. So cool !

So the front of our 5 seems to hit a few driveways (even more than our Odyssey did but that had H&R springs) therefore we have some scuffs on the front-end of a 2 month old car. Idea hits me this morning. I had some left over garage door rubber trim. Test fitted it over the said area under the...

If not, here's an interesting and great article concerning the 5: [/IMG]

Anyone having a hard time finding it ? MazdaStuff just e-mailed me and said there's a national back order. I'm going to check with my local dealer.

Just thought I'd share one of my mods during this vacation week: Front doors.Alpine SPS 57C2. Definitely more improved sound. Crisper and more bass.

Just got back yesterday from an SFO-Yosemite/Twain Hearte/ Columbia-SFO trip and I must say, this "van" performed better than I thought ! Break-in period finished during the trip. Gas mileage was what I expected, MUCH better than my ex-Odyssey. 2 fill-ups averaged us with 25mpg, this with a/c on...

I asked this on Club MPV but has anyone upgraded their AT shift knob ? And if so, brand and pics please ? Thanks

Just had it done today. 20% Charcoal by SunTek. NICE!
