    When is a Minivan no longer a Minivan?

    You know it's no it's no longer a minivan when it is anything other than a Mazda5. Jesz, look at the size of that thing. It's every bit as big as my dad's mid 80's full size chevy van or bigger. It's effing huge. I bet it drives like a Carnival Cruise ship.

    So I need a little help and maybe someone can benefit from it. You need to be in or around the San Antonio, TX area. I'm STILL trying to get my van tuned from Dynotronics and things are moving REAL slow. The last statement I got from them is that they need a 5 that is local to them so they can...

    Ford might just steal me away from Mazda...

    So I got to the SEMA show today for setup and took a look at some of the new Transit Connect vans that Ford has on display. I could really see myself switching over to one of them. They had a few still under cover and were trying to keep people out of their area that didn't belong there just...

    Anyone order from Wheeldude.com?

    Or are there negative reasons why I do not see this vendor rep'd here anymore? I ordered a set of wheels. A few days later I haven't seen an update so I send a query about them. Magically an hour later I get an invoice with tracking numbers. Tracking numbers that were just generated. Wheels...

    5AT gear ratios

    I can't seem to find the factory gear ratios for the FS5A-EL tranny anywhere. Was wondering if Mazda used a different final drive ratio for transmission in the 2007-2010 5 than the 3 for the same years. Some manufacturers do that because of weight difference and fuel economy goals.

    Mazda5 and SEMA 2012

    So I stopped by the Mazda display at SEMA and noticed they didn't have a 5 in there this year. I guess the 2012 redesign was just too damn ugly to do anything with. They did have a sweet CX-5 diesel in there. Me want....

    I've noticed that everytime I visit this site my Malwarebytes goes crazy with outgoing attempted port connections. See logs below... I do not get this on any other sites. I noticed it blocked an outgoing connection attempt again while it was showing the Hypertech advertisement at the top of the...

    Brake downgrade?

    I'm nearly 100% certain the rear discs on my 2008 Mazda5 were vented. I just noticed the rear discs on my 2010 Mazda5 are solid. Mazda trying to save another $1? Anyone with an 09 see if yours are vented or solid. Wondering when they made the switch.

    Battery saver feature not a complete success...

    I thought our new 2010 3s Grand Touring sedan had a battery saver feature included but it seems there is one item it doesn't cover. Or maybe I misread something about it. I woke up the other morning to a dead battery. I noticed the trunk was popped slightly. Me or the wife may have hit the...

    Rain sensing wipers... WTF?

    I'm loving the new 2010 grand touring 3 we bought a few weeks back but the wipers are just damn crazy sometimes. At least once a week we can be driving and when in auto mode, they'll just wipe once for no reason. Not a cloud in the sky or anything. I can't notice any difference in the...
