What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Ordered 4 - PE5R-18-110 Spark Plugs as well as the KDY0-46-040 AT Shifter Switch which should resolve my CX-5 not turning off issue. Hoping to god that that isn't hard to get to and change out.

Ordered from Med Center Mazda due to free shipping over $100, so came in at best price.

Then you should order their oil change kit with 5 quarts of Mazda Moly、drain plug washer、and Thai OEM oil filter at the same time too (for free shipping) ⋯

Good luck on your AT shifter switch replacement, and hopefully you don't break too many plastic tabs! ;)

Oh god the plastic tabs. Making me nervous there yrwei!

Amazon has the Thai filters on prime, so I just bought from there.

Didn't occur to me to grab Moly Oil while I was at it. Guess I can try next time and just get a bunch for free shipping.
 
Theres nothing on the console you dont pull or undo with a Phillips screwdriver.

I just whistle and mine jumps out,

Replaced 2 front struts but had to order a new spring perch because one of them got seized on. They only cost like $7. Ordered a p13w DRL because the side LEDS on one of the cree bulb crapped out.
 
Oil change at 67,107 miles.

Collected a sample as well to send to Blackstone. The first I've done.

Mazda oil filter is a Thailand filter bought from Amazon for $8 or $9.

Getting my Eibach lowering springs put on. Got them off eBay for $198 shipped from Jegs. Retail is $275+ taxes.

Getting them installed by Big O tires for $360 and I get 10% back from my Visa Cash Rewards card so the install is $324.

Should be ready for me to pickup in about 2 more hours.

Other local shops wanted $500 for install so I think I got a fair deal for my area.
 
Prototype platform storage in place of back seat for 5000+ mile journey with a cat and dog. Gotta get to the snacks quick--did not screw the front board down so it is easier to get to the deeper center storage. (measurements: behind back seat width 42" @ 8" rise moving 7" to a 50" width) This is close to the height of the back storage area.

Got my car back. Quick 10 mile review.

Looks better. Longer and meaner. Still a little short I can see almost over the top of the car I’m 5”11. Rides and handle much better. Not a lot of wasted acceleration bounciness that stock springs have.

Megan coilovers and Corksport short ram intake with a balancer.
How is the ride comfort with the Megan coilovers? What is this balancer you speak of?
