    All Season Tire Recommendation

    Yes, I meant Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring, not General....still looking like an excellent choice for the Honda CRV. Certainly not as good as a dedicated snow tire, but at least I don't have to hassle with switching them out 2x year. Again, DTD has been spanking Tirerack the last couple years, $300...

    2012 M5 Right side CV joint- automatic transmission IMPOSSIBLE to find???

    Nope. No one has it except for a dealer....best price I can find online is from Quirk Auto Parts out of South Boston for $432.xx + $17.95 shipping -$85.00 core charge when I ship back the broke one...so about $375 all said and done. Maybe there is a better price out there, but these guys are...

    2012 M5 Right side CV joint- automatic transmission IMPOSSIBLE to find???

    Dealer wants something like $600! YIKES! It's just strange that the right side, Automatic is so hard to find...and where every other config is $80 bucks or less. (blarf)

    All Season Tire Recommendation

    I've bee running Conti Extreme DWS for the last 2 years and closing in on 40k miles, they'll need to be changed out after they run their last 10k miles- I run a dedicated winter set of studded snows, so they only see 8 months/yr, but they won't make it past 50k cumulative miles- which is...

    2012 M5 Right side CV joint- automatic transmission IMPOSSIBLE to find???

    I cannot find one available anywhere, left side is NO problem- but the right side, is like hens teeth?? I'm getting a terrible clicking sound around corners, especially under acceleration. My mechanic thought it was the drivers side- and indeed replaced it, but the noise is the same => the guy...

    Anyone using a Curt hitch?

    Well then.... ...considering none of my bikes, or those of my family members, weigh over 25lbs and its a 3-bike rack and not a 4, I guess i'm not too worried by using an adapter....I wonder if you can attach a single stabilization/load strap running from the top of the hitch rack to the top of...

    Anyone using a Curt hitch?

    Dammit- read through entire thread and searched, but can anyone tell me whether a 2" receiver hitch is sold? Don't they have adapters to go from 1-1/4 to 2"? I just got a deal on a 2" 3-bike rack that works fine for my Toyota Tundra, but I'll want to use it on the 2012 Mazda5 as well....

    Anyone try installing Infinity Reference 6030cs 6.5-Inch 270-Watt Two-Way Component?

    yeah, nice... ...and I have the skills, but not the time or desire to complete the project like that...gots to "choose your battles" so to speak.... I found these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007TJDFM/?tag=m20b7-20 and these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007WQ8XE/?tag=m20b7-20

    Anyone try installing Infinity Reference 6030cs 6.5-Inch 270-Watt Two-Way Component?

    I didn't know for sure whether you could.... ...fit 6.5's in the 5x7 space with an adapter? Anybody know if 6.5s would fit in the rear- where space/glass might be less of a factor?

    Installed Double-DIN Kenwood Nav into 2012 Mazda5 Sport

    I like your work very much and am considering such a project myself, this will definitely help and somewhat confirms the suspicion that the output/signal source from the stock radio blows. I've already blown one on the Infinity speakers in the rear, but can also confirm that even a modest...

    Rola vs. Inno Rack?

    Same deal here ...with the fairing. Now that it's getting a bit warmer i'll look to play with it- I actually think its the outermost 2 that need to be adjusted and it should tuck in the middle two....? I'll report back this weekend.

    2012 Touch Screen In-Dash Has anyone installed one yet?

    I like all the.... ....reviews are from the same guy with corney names in Chinglish, lol.... As far as the pricing and features/fit, it certainly looks like a nice unit, but they give no specifications of an amplifier...does it come built in, or do you need an external?? Hard to swallow this...

    INNO rack kit fit question???

    I went with the 50", i'm thinking.... ...i shoud have gone with the 54"'s. I just love not having to lean over so far when i'm loading a mtn bike or whatever...and my bikes are relative lightweights compared to most others...just makes it so much easier

    Sub and amp between middle row seats?

    4ch amp is under.... ...the passengers front seat. $700 was for ALL labor. I paid for the amp, speakers, and Dynamat- actually only half of it was Dynamat, the onther half was "Peal/Seal" stuff from HomeDepot- it really seemed every bit as good/thick as the expensive stuff, but check it...
