2013 Touring AWD, 284,600 miles. Other than LCAs, not much outside of normal maintenance. I did put injectors and a brake master on it at around 270k. Between my ex and myself we had four of them, each of us ended up having a driver turn left in front of us and total two of them around 60k and...

The new forum design is awful. Also, WTF is up MSP peeps?

A common misdiagnosis, based on your description, is the knock sensor insulating material to have melted and leaked out. If you're actually seeing oil, actively leaking, the only other item in that area, just above and to the drivers side of the oil filter, is the oil pressure sender. On the...

Assistance Please! So, my newest '13 didn't have nav, but I did take the unit from my other '13 when I totaled it. I installed it just as I did in my previous '13, but went to connect the antenna wire at the Bluetooth module and it isn't there. I just assumed it was tucked away elsewhere and...

How is this relevant?

My newest CX5, the 13 AWD touring I just purchased, is getting about 18MPG right now, IPC indicated 23.8MPG. My old FWD touring was getting around 26MPG and my 16.5 AWD Touring is getting around 24.5MPG. No misfires, no MIL, no drivability issues, just incredibly poor fuel economy when compared...

Added another car to the line up. This one is a '13 Touring AWD in Sky Blue Mica. That means we now have the '16.5 Touring AWD, '13 Touring AWD, '08 CX7 Touring AWD, '07 MS3 and the '95 NA8. Need to thin out the herd a bit, probably the CX7. I like the new car, not any different than our old '13...

Well, I totaled my Black Mica 2013 FWD Touring a couple of weeks ago, had 77K on the clock, and ended up purchasing a Titanium Flash Mica 2016 AWD Touring with 55K. Man, the difference in power between the 2.0 and 2.5 is surprising. I lost a sunroof and roof rack, but gained AWD and larger...

Installed a used engine, new clutch, new braided clutch line, new starter and a bunch of other items. Need rear sway bar brackets because I keep bending the cheap ones.

I put new tires on the Miata, I changed the oil in the CX5, I installed a new engine in the MS3, the CX7 needs a transmission and I'm still missing the MSP.

And also the spring perches as I've notated above.

MSP spring perch is ~.75" lower than an NA car, so your car will be that much lower in the rear with OEM MSP springs on any strut that isn't an OEM Tokico Blue.

Wow, almost two months of inactivity. All of you suck. Yours truly, Preferio

isketerol should just admit that he had no clue what "ricer" meant and that he has believed it to be a racial pejorative for no reason other than his own unconscious bias.

This was a year ago- now!?
