    Removed C/S Intake

    Yep, that is the cause. Typically see this more on cars with higher performance when you run them on a race track.

    Yellow High Beam Bulbs and fog

    Unless the objective is to see better in fog and the reason yellow fog lights were invented in the first place (white light + fog = limited visability) It really must be hard for you to go through life as a know it all with so little actual knowledge.

    Drive through car washes "wheel cleaner" - is it safe?

    One of the best wheel clearness is simple green. Spray it on and use a kitchen brush to rub around the rim, then enter the car wash. Does a great job and is completely safe.

    Corksport Interior LED Light Kit

    I installed the same set from Corksport and have had no issues. They were the only ones to offer a complete into or set including the vanity lights. The output is perfect for reading in the car (ie waiting on wife) and with the low drain, a non issue for the battery. So while the are...

    Live traffic updates?

    And traffic issues report fairly well when it works, but delays due to weather never seem to post. I use the beat the traffic application in addition to the TomTom and the combo works well. In bad weather, I also check radarnow to gage how the weather is progressing. I have never found one...

    Cargo box on trailer hitch vs roof

    I use a THULE enclosed cargo carrier on the hitch, no cost to MPG and it easy to move between cars if I wish. The THUE system is such that it will not effect the opening of the back hatch and it comes with an adaptor to use with a 2 inch hitch, so it works with both a 1.5 and 2 inch receiver...

    Are you desperate to fix a squeak

    correct. I have never had an issue with smell in the five or so applications I have done since 2002. I will concede my nose is not the most sensitive but my wife's is and she has never detected any smell. You might have had an interaction with a undercoating on metal floor?

    Are you desperate to fix a squeak

    The material weights roughly 6 lb a roll. I used 4 rolls. It was not hard at all. I do have pictures, which I will try and find and post in the how to section. basically it was very similar to what you see in the video. You remove the pannels and back seat, and just peal and stick down. I...

    GT worth the extra cost? Having a hard time justifying it

    I ended up putting on a hitch for towing a small trailer (Home Depot runs) and to add a cargo box for family trips. This adds a 15 cubic foot trunk for the times when I need more interior space.

    Are you desperate to fix a squeak

    I did back of the car from under the back seats throughout the back section, using FrostKing duct insulation. This stuff is foam backed aluminum foil that comes in a roll and does an amazing job of killing sound and blocking heat. I have used it on race cars for blocking heat. The back end...

    Loose carpet driver and passenger seats

    Yep, this is solely a weight reduction tactic. My 2002 Corvette Z06 uses similar methods.

    2013 CX-5 Remote Start Buttons/ Settings

    Very good write up, thanks. Ihave to admit this is the first remote start option, where you really do need to read the book that comes with it to use it correctly. While I agree it is not the best design (having two fobs), I also agree it is the best option if you want a remote start on a CX-5

    How do you get in to replace interior lights with LEDs?

    Ditto, zero issue. After looking around on e-bay and the like, decided to buy from corks port, their kit comes with directions and the prince was comparable.
