Project Mazda 5 - Episode 01: Introduction

By popular demand here is a much more in depth introduction to the daily driver 2008 Mazda 5 project. It has H&R Sport springs, KYB's, SPC rear camber arms, StopTech drilled/slotted rotors, Hawk Street 5.0 pads, 225/40/18 Cooper Zeon RS3-S, and Motegi Racing MR120 18x9 wheels. There's also a factory Mazda roof rack and CorkSport LED foglights. If the demand continues we'll keep doing Mazda 5 videos!

I have a '13 manual. She's totally bulletproof and way too fun for a van. These things are such weird, cool gems.

Here in Europe it's so easy to find the manual Mazda5 and all manual cars in general. Being Amerian, I never understood why Europe is so into manuals. Now living here it's the gas prices and and the small engines like 1.0, 1.5, 2.0. They need manuals to rev them out for power.

Just got an 07 touring in black with a manual, dig it so far

[khelkim]

Thinking about manual swap my transmission once it goes. And boost it.

Lol I got one as a rental like in 08 and now I liked it so much I just bought a 2012 I love it❤️❤️🤔🤔

[lexitayy]

Am I able to do those lights on the 2010 mazda 5 grand touring?

[RaiseHull]

Does it still have good load capacity with the H&R springs? Considering that on my '08 5, but don't want to make it so it can't handle people and stuff.

Would like to see more things for this vehicle

Found a 2010 Mazda5 that says it's a Sport on the Carfax but is clearly a Touring (fog lights, moonroof, rear spoiler, rear LED lights) that I'm going to scoop up tomorrow. I live in NYC and my shared driveway is only 83" side to side so I really need a skinny car but also need six seats/cargo room for the fam. Hoping it passes muster so I can get one that looks almost identical to this (has black rims but standard tire size). Question - I've been reading that these burn through tires quickly. Any recommendations on tires that work well for this rig?

[MAXTOR]

It would be a nice non VAG sleeper if it would have at least 150-170kw.

Hello, what you say seems very good, I have my mazda 5 a little neglected and I would like you to give me a page to see parts that I need for my car from the shock absorbers to the exterior. thanks

[MrRayoBlanco]

Any updates on the 5? I daily one too and there’s not enough content on it out there.
