I just bent the hell out of my wheel. I need a new wheel, if it's got the stock P Zero Nero rubber then that's better. This is the wheel style. Please email me at ptranfa [at] gmail [dot] com as I don't check this site.

So I purchased my car probably five months ago or so. It's a 2006 Mazda 6 GT Touring with pretty much every option. It has the factory navigation. From day one there has been an intermittent problem with the navigation. Sometimes it won't happen for days or weeks at a time, and some times it...

Just got my windows tinted on my 06 6. I didn't get a chance to take pictures yesterday, will do so after work, looks great. 20% on the back windshield and 35% everywhere else.

:( Like a nice 4" gash on the very outter portion of the lip of my wheel. How much you think it would cost to fix?

If I charge my ipod through the charger in the consol, and play it through the headunit using the Syflex thing, I get some feedback. What should I do to fix this? Ground Loop Isolator?

:( it was bleeding too badly.

was just trying to remove the bolt behind the glovebox to install my aux adapter and i cut the everloving **** outta my finger. ouch.

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here, and I could VERY WELL be wrong, but I HIGHLY doubt that the factory sub uses RCA inputs as the audio source. I'm fairly certain that it will have a wiring harnass that provides the audio input.

Nice, thanks!

Can someone confirm that it's in the front dash? I just called two dealerships around me and neither one of their service departments could tell me. That's comforting (ughdance)

Then the guy lied to me. He said the GPS Antenna in the mazda 6 was built into the rear defroster lines. That makes me angry.

I just called to get a quote on having my car tinted. The place told me that I would need to use ceramic based tint due to the factory navigation system. When I had my old Infiniti G35 tinted (at the same place too) which had factory navigation, they mentioned nothing of needing ceramic based...

I've never driven a 6 speed with reverse after 6. I'm so used to R being where it is on most six speeds because I've driven a lot of VWs though...

Thanks, tint and ipod adapter are coming for father's day hopefully :)

The middle photo is the best rep of the the true color. It was way too sunny to be out trying to shoot cars. I think it's called tungsten grey.
