    BC Racing BR Series Extreme pics (Hello)

    2009 Back-up Camera Installation?

    Does anyone have a resource I can reference for installing a backup camera on a 2009 Mazda5? I found the video online about installing on a newer model but that doesn't apply to my vehicle because my lights are not part of the hatch lid. I ripped a bunch of panels out of the back but I...

    Metra 2din Dash Kit - fitment issue

    Has anyone here used this kit to install an aftermarket stereo? I installed a 2din deck last night and the fitment is so terrible I can't believe this product is even on the market. It bulges out around my AC controls which is pretty bad. At least a screwdriver width tween the bezel and...

    Where to buy 06-10 Grand Touring Roof Spoiler?

    Does anyone have a lead on where to find one of these other than ebay? I can likely import from Japan but I'd rather not go through 5 different people. Thanks!

    Fogs as DRL (HID headlights - no DRL)

    Hi everyone, I'm new-ish to this forum. I used to lurk years ago when I had a heavily modified forged Mazdaspeed Protege but now I'm in a Mazda5 mini-mini van with little ones skampering around the house. I'd like to ask if anyone has attempted or can share insight on how to rewire the DRL...

    Running way too rich and bogging.

    Ok, so over the weekend I decided to give my Unichip another try. It was running flawlessly for about 2 days. Today suddenly my car has been running horribly. I'd be driving at cruising speed and steady around 14.7 AFR's. Then it started hesitating/shuttering like hell and I noticed my...

    Starter problem or what?

    Hey all, So this morning I had some interesting thing happen when I went to start my car. It started, but as it was turning over it made the normal chugging sound and then made a sound as if it was just freely spinning with no combustion. Did that for a second or 2 (which seems long as hell...
