What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

My husband asked where I'd put a 55 gal drum when I found them for sale at a farm on the side of the road.
Well........he couldn't believe it was so easy to fit!

I debate if I should use concorso wax on my Mazda 5 lol
Maybe I'll just stick with half dozen layers of sealants
Nearly time for maintenance wash kuku

OMG I want the Nitto NT850s!!! How do you like them?

I like it. If the worn toyo proxies has the most 'road feel', and the the hankook winter tire least road feel,,, The Nitto sits in the middle. I think the rubber in the nitto
is thicker than those of a new toyo proxies. I have only driven it in iced-over roads for a day. So far it was acceptable. But I then switched to winter tires..

I have replace the reflector on the bumper with LED ones. Me likes
And i plug them into the brake lights, so when i hit the brakes the intensity change too

 

[BPboiler3]

that shot is hot...i have those on my 3 but just wired em to the license plate lights..did you get the clear or smoked ones?

 

[Rockin03mp5]

sweet. ive thought about them before.

 

[VenomDesign]

I buy the normal ones, (clear.)

 

[BPboiler3]

today I got a package for the 5

-installed clear rear reflectors
-put in 2 of the JDM coin holders....will work out perfect for the tolls I need to pay when we go see my in-laws occasionally and there really isnt a good place for spare change on the 5 that I have found

Gone back to the stock rims with the winters. Its getting colder here in GTA in the single digits for for the next few days. The ones I have on the 18s are (Nankang NS II) are rated MS but I dont trust them. I will need to get my fronts aligned , my Front right wheels are slightly bald on the inner side.

I have made this today with the shift stick, it was very shabby.

First oil change, went to Mobil 5-20. Had an issue with one of the shroud bolt fasteners and the cartridge cap was seriously tight -- I finally stuck a 24" pipe wrench on it and thankfully didn't crack it.

put some moar parts on the 5 this weekend

-leather shift knob from a mazda3 (hated the stock shifter on the 5)
-weathertech digitalfit floor mats (finally!)

I just got back from a 2-week/6500 km trip from Kingston, to Tampa, then Orlando, then Panama City Beach, then New Orleans, and back to Kingston. The 5 performed flawlessly, and I think we fell in love with it all over again. We averaged +/- 600 km per tank - not too bad since we were pretty heavily loaded (cargo wise - I never drive when loaded!).

Now back to reality - snows tires back on tomorrow, and a really big clean up!

 

[Rockin03mp5]

finally cleaned up the outside of my 5. the inside is still dirty, but at least she is prepped for winter now.

washed and waxed and paint chips fixed. wow, there are lots of chips. sucks.

also, i think i got the wife convinced to get winter wheels and tires.

 

[BPboiler3]

what are you going to get wheel wise? some steelies?

 

[Rockin03mp5]

i dont know... have to look around. something cheap i guess. maybe some mazda3 wheels. not diggin stealies. walmart doesnt make spinner hubcaps in 16''.

 

[DKaz]

What did you say about steelies??? It's mad tyte JDM yo.

 

[coolmazda5]

Walmart doesnt make spinner hubcaps in 16''.

And we know that no car is complete without those (2thumbs)

Talking about winter, just got Continental ExtremeContact DWS (215/50ZR17) installed. Too early to say anything, but very silent and good grip on rain...

 

[Rockin03mp5]

everyone seems to be talking about them.

im looking for more dedicated snows/winter wheels.
