The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Mazda has had my car since friday and can't seem to figure out why I'm having electrical issues. Last saturday I came out to a dead battery. Got jumped and ran down to the dealership to check it out. Everything tested fine. Drove around the rest of the weekend and didn't have any REAL issues, just dim headlights (from a dead battery). At work on monday I threw the battery on the charger and tested the charging system. Again, everything tested fine. Friday a coworker grabbed me and said I needed to check something out in the parking lot. My fog lights were on...no headlights, just the fogs. I cycled the switch 3 or 4 times and finally got the lights to turn off. Locked the car and the fogs turned back on. Again cycled the lights several times before everything turned off. Called Mazda and they're trying to get to the bottom of it...today they mentioned the headlight switch might be the culprit. I'm afraid its gonna be the BCM...I miss my stick shift...they are letting me use one of their 13 mazda 3 loaners for the time being.

At least it's under warranty. No money out of your pocket.

we'll see...since I installed the fog light kit, I haven't heard a YES/NO yet. As long as nothing I did caused the issue...They were asking about the HID kit tonite when I stopped by to check in on things.
 
I'm gonna need something for the neon. She isn't the greatest in the snow. Hell even some new all seasons would he better than what I have.

My sister still has three sets of neon wheels and tires. Not sure if any of them are snow tires though.
 
Patrick, let me know a size and I can try and get you some cheap snows or all seasons. I might even be able to mount and balance them for free depending on the mood of our service manager.
 
Any recomendations for a cheap 16-17 inch wheel that would look good on a Velocity Red MSM? Looking for something in a darker finish.

Well guys, she's all mine. Just have to go up to shitcago and pick it up!

Heres the link for those that would like to see my new MSM-

damn dude... looks very clean, definitively stock.
 
I was helping a friend run compressor map calculations this morning. I actually really enjoy that kind of thing, although it makes me jealous.
 
I was looking at the Mesh sport wheels but then I found these-

That is fantastic. Other than needing new tires it looks like it is in tremendous shape. Congrats.

I was told the pictures are a bit decieving and the tires are in better shape than they appear in the pictures. Either way I'm not that worried.
 
Congrats on the new MSM, John. I'm surprised Phen hasn't mentioned another person is copying him... ;)
 
Okay, so far I'm thinking either of these 3 to use for a snow setup on the MSM. What do you guys think?
