I'm trying to find a tow plate that will work with my gen2 mazda5. No one makes a tow plate mount for it so I'm trying to find which plate is closest to the fit. Can anyone help me out and take some measurements of their tow hook? I'm thinking it's the same size as the 2012 3/MS3? This is...

I ordered a Gen1 MS3 front tow plate because I thought it would work on the 5 but the threads are different. Does anyone know what tow plate would work on a 2012 Mazda 5. I thought maybe a Gen2 Mazda 3 may have the same threads, but it's on the other side so idk? Any thoughts, please help I...

Does anyone know the part number for the 6sp manual transmission? I'm piecing together a auto to mt swap on my 5 and have found most of what I need, except I can't find any place selling the complete transmission.

I have a 2012 Mazda 5GT I bought new and it has about 35K miles on it. This last oil change I noticed fluid leaking at the trans/engine seam. I looked inside the bell housing and I can see it inside on the back side of the motor, also it seeped out near the half-shaft seal, and on the bottom...

Warning to all drivers, I know we've seen these threads but my driver side transmission mount bolt that goes into the frame broke today and dumped my engine out. Only good thing is I was going 5mph after pulling out from a stop. Pictures to come. BTW the car has 92k miles on it, It's not...

So today I installed my Eibach pro kit with new oem mazdaspeed front shocks and after I was done and took it for a ride I have this horrible scraping noise coming from the front left. It happens when driving straight and turning right, not so much when turning left. It is definitely a scraping...

Anyone know a place other than/cheaper than the dealer to buy new oem struts for the mazdaspeed 3?

This is a pretty thorough walk through on installing a Whistler Pro 3600 radar detector in a Mazdaspeed 3. I’d like to note that from the time of this last edit I’ve had this installed for 2 1/2 years without any troubles, so I’ll give it 4 very well earned stars and explain a little of why it...

When I was changing the oil I decided to snap some shots of the exhaust. I'm going to take some precise measurements of the lengths, angles, etc, next time I put it in the air, but for now I'm just trying to get a visual comparison of how similar it is to a Mazda 3 exhaust. For one the piping...

Anyone else have the remote start and hate the fact that the car shuts off when you open the doors? There has got to be a way to bypass this, it just seems dumb to start the car, just to shut it off, and then start it again. I can't imagine it being good for the motor either.

I just traded my 2011 6i for a 2012 5GT and I'm wondering why the power figures are listed at 157/163 compared to the 6 at 170/167? Anyone know if this is just from different intake/exhaust setup, ecu tuning, or different motor setup (cams,timing,etc)?

It seems like the vvt switches around 5k or so, but when shifting it falls below the vvt point. Anyone know if this is the same as the Mazda 3 2.5l? I'm not sure if they have different gearing or different vvt point. It takes a lot of fun out of the driving when you can't stay in the power band.

Well I decided to get another reliable car, one with a little more room than the MS3. So we picked up this 2011 Mazda 6i Sport for a great deal. I love how much more room it has and it drives really nice.

Will RX8 wheels fit correctly on an ms3?

Hi, so after my MS3 got me hooked on Mazdas I decided to pick up another one as a daily driver. It's a 91 protege, it needs a lot work but I only paid 350 for it so it should be a fun project.

So my cars at about 75k miles. All the maintenance is up to date except the fuel filter. It says to replace it at 60k miles, a little late, but anybody done this yet. I haven't looked to see where it's located and I don't have a service book. Just looking for a little info. Also, I guess...

Has anyone else experienced any problems with their driver airbag light coming on? Mine has appeared randomly for maybe the past 10,000 miles. I currently have almost 70k miles on it. At first I thought it was a sensor in the seat, but after looking more I feel it might be something in the...

I been having some big time hesitation issues at 4500 to 5000k in 3rd and 4th gear. The only mod is a cpe nano, however recently I replaced the spark plugs with bosch iridiums. I've been getting super good gas milage (around 27mpg per tank) however I think this may be the cause of the...
