so i can't find the Thule 3080 fitkit ANYWHERE stateside...(found Petra Cycles in the UK has them in stock). but the local REI has the 3069 kit in stock. is it that bad of a fit to go w/ the 3069? should I still try to get the 3080 at a later date, or will the 3069 hold just fine (once I take...

anyone?!

finally found a 460 rack locally for a screaming deal, but now I can't find the fit kit for our Mz5. (confused) we're leaving for a trip on thurs and need the kid here no later than Wed so I can install the rack and get a cargo basket/box mounted. anyone know someplace that has one in stock or...

bookmarked. thanks gents! i found someone locally w/ a Thule rack on Craigslist, so I think i'm going to go that route, but good advise on the key. unfortunately, our MZ5 only came with one switchblade key/fob. think i'll see if my local dealer will match online prices, since they're going to...

and this is precisely why I steer clear of forums like this. thanks for reminding me that my disbelief in trolls is completely unfounded. and thanks for not contributing anything of value, in any way, to the thread.

my thoughts for the ceramics are there is more organic and ceramic materials in the pads, hopefully keeping the pads from sticking to the rotors after sitting overnight. it's not going to stop the oxidation of the surface of the rotors. rotors won't make that much difference. the quality of...

well, it may have become accepted to some extent, but it's definitely NOT normal. i've had plenty of cars w/ rear disc and never had the problem. we have a year-round creek in our front yard and the driveway is in the shade, so I know the extra moisture has something to do with it, but i'm...

yeah i didn't know if there was anything that could be done...like bending the tension spring in the caliper. probably a combo of the type of pads and the way it comes to rest when parked. i think i'm going to try organic pads when the time comes to change them. might prevent the metal to metal...

my wife's '06 5 Touring has this nasty habit of squealing as she backs out of the driveway every morning. she utterly HATES it and I must say, it's quite annoying. it's done it since day one of having it (purchased in Feb of this year & it only has 50K on it). it only happens in reverse after...

anyone have any luck installing an aftermarket Navi (like a Magelian or Garmin) in place of the OE Navi on their 5?? searched around but didn't find an info that I could easily find. The OE unit is big, bulky, and somewhat clumsy, but I like the pop-up console. Thinking about getting the OE...

Benn a while since i've been around...had a 3 for a short time back in 02 and we recently came back to the mazda camp. We got our '06 Mz5 Touring in Feb for my wife and our expanding family and I've been looking for a few factory accessories/parts. anyone know best place online to source parts...

you still have this? was looking for an OE or Thule...but may consider the Yak version if I can't find one of the others soon. hit me in the privates if it's still available.
