What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[NelsonLewis]

Went up to Crested Butte, CO today. Sadly plans changed a bit, and we went in buddy's XTerra instead of the CX-5. But hey have a few pics anyway.

Ditto. It's a life dream...

Currently researching to relocate. Lol

My brother hopes to build a cabin in the Shenandoah mountains in the near future. Might even be off the grid.

Not for me, I love city life and having everything close by. But man those pics look like post cards!

Im looking to get the Interior Trim (The Piano Black) in my 2017 cx5 switched to real carbon fiber. I actually really like the wood metal trim pieces on the dash and the doors, wont be replacing those. Just waiting for someone to sell them now.

About to wax her up today...

Would love to be able to replace the piano black trim with the wood metal trim.

On my 16.5 the center gray trim is irritating, its virtually black for 95% of the light conditions and then sometimes I see its not black. Mazda could have done something better there.

You might consider a vinyl wrap. That's what I did.

I've booked my car in to get a diesel tuning chip. Is anyone interested in a post installation report?

 

[p38cyq]

Yes Sir! Please.

 

[Chris_Top_Her]

Chip? Or actual tune?

Enjoying the drive again today. In a bit of a decision reversal from last week or so, looks like we are keeping the CX-5 and will be letting go of the Speed3. The speed3 is fun, but the CX-5 is the better family vehicle, sad panda... Anyways, I've been driving in manual mode today and the easiest way to get around the low RPM low torque issue, is to stay on 1st/2nd gear until well past 3k RPM to avoid dipping below 3k RPM after shifting. There is quite a lot of torque in 1st and 2nd gear as long as you keep RPMs high. This is obviously harder to do in Drive mode because the transmission wants to upshift right away. Usually it would upshift to 2nd gear right away and RPMs drop below 3k.

Chip? Or actual tune?

Chip. I don't want to lose a tune through dealer servicing.

I sense it's much easier to achieve a reasonable result with diesels and chips.
