We all wondered about a Mazdaspeed 5, at least I did. Now someone went and made their own.

looks great, wonder how it performs. If I were to update a Mazda5 AWD would be my desire over more power. Manual, AWD, mini-mini-van would be a great daily

I desperately want one so I can tell the wife it's a family car then slap on some konis and some summer rubber and use it as my family friendly autocross vehicle. Right now I have to go every time alone because the Miata only has two seats and the wife doesn't want to wake up that early and drive on the weekend.

huh. Honestly I'd prefer to stay fwd in the name of simplicity and weight savings. My 3 never bored me with fwd.

ahh but I would get a 5 gor family hauling, and being in colorado awd would make it a fun winter toy too

I think fwd + winter tires will get by just fine

I WANT that lift! Anyone know a source offhand ('else I'll just google I guess?)

Also, fun thread, I love seeing what other people bash-up!

OY I should've known; I live at HF during mod season, but that's a made-to-order product, which would explain me never seeing it.

Couldn't afford anyway, but another thing for the wishlist! Thanks.
