Well that's interesting. I wonder if it's a different part from the Mazda6 console or if the headliner is cut differently...

Yup, that's correct. I've no sunroof so I can't comment on any sunroof controls.

I had a request to update this thread with clarification. Because my explanation skills suck but my MSPaint skills are da bomb, I made a visual aid. Below are the Mazda6 console on the left, and the Mazda5/3 console in the middle. What's hard to tell from the picture is that these are all...

lol, $10.49 a piece? You may be on to something....

I typically hate leather seats and seat heaters, but certain recent events involving poo on a shoe made me rethink my position. The backs of both of my front seats are getting increasingly filthy, and my first idea was to cut off my kids' feet, but I don't think that's a good long term...

Twas a Honda suspension bolt, I have giant tupperware thing full of them from all the cars I've taken apart. I also pocket all the bolts I've ever yanked from the pick-and-pull. If you have a good u-pull-it in your area you can measure how long you need and probably find something real quick...

Actually, scratch that. Found a post I had made about it and remembered what I actually did: http://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda5-43/camber-link-install-25941/ (post 9) I had the bolt halfway out like you, I cut the head off and about an inch of threads, twisted the rest of the bolt out by...

Yes, that's how I did it (exact same situation as yours -- car on jackstands, frustrated owner, etc). I got the longest or second longest blades they had at home depot and it reached fine. I tried dropping the subframe, bending the exhuast bracket, etc. Eventually gave up and bought a...

Tighten the bolt up and then sawzall all the worthless threads off.

I think I bought RX-8 sensors off ebay, or maybe they were mazda6 sensors. They sure as heck weren't for a 5. In any case, they work fine. Since they just pop into the tire stem hole, they're independent of wheel size and everything, and since they're invisible, there's no compelling reason...

Maybe your experience with bump stops is different from mine. There's no comfort about them. They're there to prevent the shock piston from shooting through the bottom of the housing when you drive over a railroad tie, and nothing else. When you lower a car, you lose suspension travel, true...

I tried to get the auto exe springs, but the tsunami happened and I got the h&r instead. I've had a lot of different springs on a lot of different cars, plus I've got a wife and three kids. I hate bumpy rides. Take my opinion for what it's worth, but I think the h&r springs ride like stock...

I heel-toe completely differently in the 5 than I do in my Integra, and it's because the gas pedal is so low. My foot remains much more vertical and I kind of roll it sideways, whereas in the Honda it's much more of a toe-on-the-brake, heel-on-the-gas thing. I have to recalibrate when I get in...

$800 placebos!

A place called Clifford Automotive downtown. They charged me $40 per wheel, but then just $10 per wheel for mounting and balancing, so it worked out to be pretty cheap. Nothing fancy, they just threw the wheels up on a lathe and then eyeballed it. Wheel Medic just north of downtown was going...

lol, small world. Yeah, I pulled into the Griggs Reservoir entrance off Riverside. I'm amazed you could recognize that from a few crummy pictures :)

Freshly lowered on H&R Sports with ebay rear camber arms. TL-S wheels are 17x8 +45, these tires are OEM size for a TL-S (235s). It's a lot of meat to cram under there, but so far I've only rubbed once, on the rear, over a drainage ditch that I hit too fast. I'll probably want to roll the...

So how do you turn off the fog lights when it's not foggy?
