What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

[J.P.]

Tried to change to my summer tires yesterday, I lost my OEM wheel lock key. I cant believe the dealership *(most) charges $106+ just to break the old locks and instal new ones. I'll try Ajax mazda on monday

That is crap. The dealer should have a master set. At the very least they should have a tool that will remove the locking wheel nuts. It takes minutes to do. Call around if Ajax won't do it - it is a common problem to lose the tool. I hope at the very least least the $106 includes the new locking set. A new locking wheel nut set on the Mazda Canada website is only $75 installed.

Check out HOEN bulbs, about as close to HID matching as you can get in a Halogen.

So I went to Ajax Mazda and they gave me a good deal. I just buy the new wheel lock set ($39 w/tax) and they break the old and installed the new for no charge. While I'm there bought a pair of the oem front wipers.

As soon as I got home I changed into my summers and got carried away and installed the Fujita5 CAI I got from wedginator. I like how it sounds.

Picked up some stuff for my new shoes that I will be sporting this summer.

Here is a link of what the rim looks like. They are called Lexion X503 by Rays Eng. They are 19 x 8 with a 48 mm offset. My lip isn't as deep as the ones in the link but same rim. Plan on painting just the centers and leaving the lips polished.

Aaahhh! Thanks for clarifying, I thought you were going to be making some tires by spraying that all over your wheels?!

Got the hitch installed, was really easy, hardest part was getting my big hands in behind the bumper to put the side bolts in, guess I'll have to take pictures. Also added the bumper guard.

Very nice! Very clean and discrete. What brand, where'd you get it, and how much?

I assume you're referring to the hitch, got it on ebay, $160 some bucks including shipping with the wiring kit and the ball mount. Real easy to put on, but haven't installed the wiring yet, but the instructions look to be pretty easy.

Edit: Oh yea, the brand of the hitch is Curt.

hurschel,

Is that Hitch a CURT Manufactoring No. 11338? If so, how do you like it?

Has anyone installed the Curt 11338 on a '12 yet?

That's the one, don't know if it will fit the '12. If you need some measurements, let me know.
