What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[Koko_Bandit]

I am thinking I could 3D print something out of TPU to cover the dead pedal. I'm just not sure how to attach it. Any ideas, or has someone done this already?

Velcro if you want it to be temporary. Spray adhesive if you want it to be semi-permanent.

Replaced both license plate light bulbs. Mazda really went out of their way to make that small job difficult. Didn't see the type of bulb listed anywhere in the owner's manual but the lighting book at the parts store took care of that. FYI, it's 2825.

Printed a pad for the dead pedal. I made two versions. One is flat (in picture), the other wraps around the right side a little. I am waiting on the epoxy to cure on the Velcro to try the one that wraps around..

I am leaning to these as I have scratched the black plastic already:

Wheels & tires look mean.

Wheels & tires look mean.

Thanks. I'll go slightly wider tires when these wear out

 

[N7turbo]

What size are they? Those look like they have plenty of sidewall.

What suspension mods/adjustments were done?

They're the factory tires 225/55 but I went with a 8.5" rim so I'll go a little wider

I think the gloss black lip makes the tire look extra phat

Huh, they didn't look stretched, but you can certainly accommodate 235s with those wheels.

Barring any clearance issues, I plan on 245s , just have to find the right aspect ratio that won't cause a clearance/ rubbing issue.

 

[N7turbo]

The only ones are 245/50/19 and 245/45/20. Don't worry about rubbing.

20x9 245/45/20 here with a 2" drop and there's still clearance.

Intake valve cleaning, with the STP Pro Series Intake Valve Cleaner: click.

Bolts for the big splash shield underneath -- A few bolts missing. Will pick up a bunch of them and replace the rusting ones and the missing ones. Haven't been hearing any flapping of that splash shield, but it looked in good condition.

Next cooler day, time to clean the interior.
