Ken bought a Euro-Spec 1978 RWD Ford Escort with a 2.4 litre 4-cylinder Millington engine with 280hp, WRC-style paddle shifting, and a six-speed sequential gearbox. This video is him and Chris Atkinson flogging it at Team O'Neil's Rally School back in July 09. Car looks like fun, although I...

Hey guys- I have around 37k freeway miles on my 5, and I'm taking it in tomorrow for the 30k service. I realize there is a lot of things on the list they "Inspect." Is it worth paying for, or should I just change the oil?

Hey guys - thought I would post pics of my other car. I just spend the day yesterday detailing it. Here are a couple snapshots...sorry the pics kinda suck:

Ken's got another video dropping June 1st: http://auto.dcshoes.com/features/ken-block-blog/ Scroll to the bottom for a highlight reel of his new car!

Hey guys- I'm getting the oil changed on my 5 right now, and the tech is trying to sell me on a $130 fuel injector cleaning service. I denied the service, but I'm interested in your thoughts on this. My car only has 26k miles, so it seems a bit premature to me.

Hey guys- I'm sure you saw the original Ken Block Gymkhana video. Well DC posted up some bonus footage along with the original video on the Gymkhana mini site. Check it: http://www.dcshoes.com/gymkhana How is that Segway near miss!?!?!

I've been wanting to do this for a while. After asking around, I couldn't find ONE PERSON who had done this to their 5. So after recently discovering it can be done to the 3, I knew it was possible. I've gone through this mod to my Subaru, so I already went through all the nerves associated...

Hey guys- I have a connection to Eibach, and wondering if anyone is running their springs on their 5. Any pics, opinions, suggestions would be great! (thumb)

I bought my five in April from Tustin Mazda. Who ever detailed it before I picked it up created THE WORST swirl marks I've ever seen. Tustin Mazda said they would fix it, but I needed to leave my car with them ALL DAY. The dealership is over an hour from my house, so there was no way this was...

Hey guys- Does anyone make smoked side markers or smoked rear reflectors for the mazda 3? I believe they will fit the 5 no?

I want to lower my 5, but I use it for work so would like to maintain the driveability. I'm thinking bags would be a great option. Do you guys know anyone rockin airbags?

So I was taking a "spirited" drive home from Palm Springs yesterday. The first hill section of the drive is quite steep and windy. So I had my 5 in 3rd gear for the majority of the drive up the hill. Probably around 10 minutes or so, switching in and out of 3rd and 4th, but mainly staying in...

Hey guys- My 5 is my work car. I'm on the road 6 out of 7 days a week, so I often find myself on "E" with the light on. I'm wondering how far past the "E" the needle can go before you REALLY have to worry. So far I've driven it until the needle just starts to pass the final tick mark. But I...

Hey guys - I want to paint the Mazda logo emblems on the front and the back of my 5. I believe the rear emblem will come off with a hair dryer and some dental floss, but the front I think can be snapped in and out (correct me if I'm wrong). Has anyone done this or have any information on the...

I passed a guy on the freeway today that had the altezza style tail lights with black inner-housing. How can I get my hands on these?

Hey guys- In the VW world, this is called the "Joey Mod". :D Has anyone done this to their 5? I did my Subaru's, and it turned out AMAZING. Just interested to see pictures and hear some horror stories. Thanks! (wiggle)

Hey guys- Just bought a black 08 5 sport for my job, and the tail lights stick out like a sore thumb. I NEED something different. I don't really care if they are LED, Altezza style, or whatever. I would just like them to flow with the color of the car. I've been on the site for the last 30...
