Looks to be a MS3-swapped Mazda5. For sale on Ebay right now (45k is too steep though): Ebay Link

The ebay ad description is hilarious:

2010 Mazda MAZDA5 Touring

Your newest Mazda dealer in Chicagoland!!! The new home of the ZoomZoomNation! CJ Wilson Mazda of Orland Park! This is a one of a kind Mazda Speed 5 Racing Edition!!!! Do not wait to act on this impeccably styled and fast vehicle!!!! Drive home in your new pre-owned vehicle with the confidence of knowing you're fully backed by the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee. A Mazda with as few miles as this one is a rare find. This MAZDA5 Touring was gently driven and it shows.

Speed is a game changer and this sexy machine is so fast it didn't just change the game, it rewrote all of the rules. A unique vintage vehicle that exudes taste and sophistication.

I want one sooo bad. Unfortunately I don't think the wife will agree to it.

You should be able to replicate that for less than half of what they're asking. Think of all of the wrecked MS6/MS3s out there.

Car and Driver has a nice article on their build. They hit some hurdles along the way, but they've already made the mistakes, and put them out there for anyone looking to build their own MS5.

Do it!

I agree. you can even do it right from the classified section of this very forum! (do you have a link to said build by the way?)

Found one: CandD Boss Wagon

Long story short is that mechanically nearly everything bolts up exactly or with only minor massaging (brake booster and reservoir and radiator mounting tabs is all), but the chassis harnesses do not work together at all. You need to swap the 5 chassis harness out and the ms3 chassis harness in.

You'll need to log in to post.
