I think I might have discovered the reason that so many of us have the belt squeak when running the A/C, at high speed, in the rain.. It seems that our A/C belts are what they call 'stretch fit'. Apparently some genius somewhere decided that it would be better to have the belts tension...

It was crazy foggy out yesterday morning so I grabbed my camera on the way out the door and snapped a few pics on the way to work. I've always wanted to take pics in the fog because I like seeing what the headlights are doing. Call me a dork, but I think the light paterns are cool. lol...

I was leaving the Red Lobster and there was a nice blue Protege 5 (lowered, tinted, front facia, dunk style muffler, midestmazdas decal I think on the pass-side 1/4 glass) parked next to my white Mazda5 Anyways, if you're on here, I just thought I'd say hey :)

In an effort to try to help people looking to upgrade/change the wheels of their Mazda5 (NOT Protege5) I have compiled a small gallery of pics. I've done my best to get the specs on the wheel & tire combos...but I do not guarantee their accuracy (ughdance) as these pics and information were...

Looks like there is an adapter available to put a video signal on the NAV screen. Play xbox, PS2, watch DVDs, etc. it also will switch to a reverse camera (if installed) automatically. One bad thing that the box is NOT plug and play....you do have to cut wires. Link

Day of Reckoning? (Rita) To all those people who said "If a hurricane like that [katrina] hit Texas it would be cleaned up in 2 days" Looks like you're get your chance to find out whether or not you were right.

Well, as long as we are going to have to suffer without our babies (sad2) , we might as have a little fun with it. (silly) Post pics of your loaner/rental. Here's mine.

I just got a call from my dealer saying that I need to bring my 5 in, pronto. Apparently there is an issue with the exhaust...something about not having a heatshield where one is needed. (braindead Anybody else hear about this yet?

Well, I did it folks, I ripped the front end off!! In order to do what I felt was a proper installation of my HID kit I pulled the headlamps and bumper cover off. For the removal (and installation), I used the GIFs provided by LazyFox and javadoc (couple of HELPFUL guys from another forum)...

I got myself a set of 6000K HIDs from the Helios sale going on in the approved vendors section. For my first foray into the HID world I would have to say I am impressed all around. Excellent customer service, smooth transaction, and excellent product (from what I can tell). Here are some pics...

Anybody know of any places online that do this kind of plating. I found one place and got a quote from them for 4 emblems and they wasnt about $150. I was wondering if there are any other places to look at or if that was a reasonable offer. Are there any DIY kits to do this?

Would it be possible to add a "My Posts" button? Something that would search for all posts by the person logged in doing the search. Something that would be easier than going to search, advanced search, search by user name. I'm lazy so a shortcut like that would be nice. Make it easier to keep...

Hey people. It was brought to my attention that if I (we) want aftermarket companies to bring parts over for us, we need to let them know that there is intrest in the parts. I'm going to start sporadically emailing these companies and I'll post their wmail addresses so that you guys (and gals...
