Link to said service manual? I have to replace 2 exterior trim pieces and want to do it properly. Edit: Found it - Body Shop manual. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u877jw1v445217e/AADWFkcngECBbvxk00SauQlka/CX-5%20-%20Body%20Shop%20Manual.pdf?dl=0

I actually found that the back up camera works much better with the LED lights. I replaced all of my lights except the DRLs and turn signals with LEDs. They are brighter and have much nicer color. The reverse LED lights are very bright and the camera seems to pick up the light better and make...

Pearl white metallic. I liked the color of the paint. It just never had enough pearl for my taste.

My CX-5 is getting close to done. Wrapped in 3M satin pearl white with black gloss accents. Font Motorsports supplied Konig Oversteer 17x8 et45 Continental TrueContacts 225x65x17

Nearly done with the appearance - only a tint left. Wrapped in 3M Satin Pearl White with gloss black accents. 17x8" Konig Oversteers supplied by Font Motorsports. Great purchase experience with them. Very quick to respond and provided all info quickly. LED bulbs everywhere except turn...

Just checking in, how loud is this noise? The video isn't very clear. I have a whine that is audible at higher speeds but is dependent on the throttle position in each gear. If the engine isn't in power making mode, meaning it isn't growling and revving really high, I can depress the gas pedal...

To answer your first question. There is a key in the key fob. On the back of the fob there is a slider that you slide and it unlocks the manual key. That key will let you open the vehicle but not start it. Also that portion of the key is what attaches to the key chain so that covers the lanyard...

Its on my list of things to buy come ski season.

Got 43,000 miles out of them with proper inflation and rotation. Mechanic thinks I will get close to 70,000 miles on my brakes. Both of those point to you being pretty aggressive in your driving habits. - link to the tirerack page -...

Hey everyone - I'm looking for a set of lighter than oem 17" wheels - preferably in bronze, silver, or dark grey. With me having the 2.0 I'd rather not lose performance by going bigger/heavier. Preferably more than 5 spokes too. Anyone have any links? Maybe Font Motorsports can chime in? Thanks!

I didn't make any claims. I asked a question, had anyone installed one? I know that the Cx-7 and Cx-5 are different vehicles. I asked because I have a concern for my vehicle's longevity and the longevity of my transmission. We may be moving to southern colorado where there are plenty of...

The cold temps thing is actually what I was going to bring up next. We are likely to move to an area with pretty big extremes on both ends of the scale. I'd read about too cold of transmission because of the cooler too. If anyone manages to get a reading on trans temps that please post them up.

I actually quite like MikeM - he is consistent and very much in tune with his car. Based on my readings of his we both have the same goals in mind - longevity and economy. He has his opinions but each time I've read them they've been well supported. I'd love to see his ideas on this but I doubt...

Well, they are often added when using a vehicle for towing. Towing a small trailer/sports trailer (below towing capacity of course) up and down steep grades is tolling on any transmission. I was thinking it would be a smart idea to add an extra bit of cooling to ensure proper operating temps for...

I love my CX-5 and it has been great for the 3 years I've owned it but there is a potential for a long move (1800 miles) for us and we'll be in a more mountainous region when we settle. Wondering if anyone has installed an aftermarket additional transmission cooler on the CX-5 and if so, how has...

Glad I could start a discussion here. I have no mods in place was just concerned as I've seen first hand how bad it can get on early VW gdi engines and I just thought about mine after 45,000 miles.

Yeah - I'm aware of what Mazda claims but I'd love to see what people are getting if any. The best thing I've seen recommended is to drive the cars zoom zoom but was wondering if anyone had taken a peak at the valves to see if they have any built up carbon.

Here it is - I think the flash point was impacted by it sitting and being run at idle before being changed:

Chris - not to derail my own thread but, I've followed both your builds here and on other sites - are you still running the SRI? Is it purely for sound? Also, have you gotten your tune from Orange Virus? Any changes you've noticed with the butt dyno? Also have you looked at the jbr rear torque...

I'm just curious as I only really started to look at carbon build up with GDI engines. My wife has a 2012 Kia Optima 2.4L and I have the 2.0L skyactiv. I'm concerned about intake valve carbon build up and am looking to see if anyone has taken a look at their valves and what mileage they have...
