It's been a while, and I've since sold my CX9 to a friend (it's still running great). Mazda provided me with a 4-pin harness, it was a kit that was plug-and-play at the back of the car.
Add to that a 4-pin to 7-pin kit from eTrailer. It connects to the mazda harness like a trailer, but has...
Does a 2014 sport model (manual transmission) have the harness for power/heated seats? I’d love to pick one up but I kind of need the heated seats for cold winters. I’m sure I could go aftermarket but local salvage yards should have interior parts for me to upgrade.
Hey everyone! I always loved underglow. Wish they didn't make it illegal as it was pretty cool to see a car with that on a rainy night. Good to see you mountain biking Bruce! It's a great way to get out. I test rode one of those electric assist fat bikes at a festival a few years ago. Man...
Sorry about the front lip Bruce, those damn trash pandas!!! Arg!
Didnt do much for Halloween but I did get to see some of my Mazda peeps over the weekend.
First we met up with Jacob, ML, and Sean so we could bury the old hatchet as they say. Lol, Jacob took us to an axe throwing bar...which...
A bit of a throwback for yall. Realized one of my new Rx7 friends knows Phen from back in the Protege days. I went digging for a pic of my P5 and found these...
You missed a great show! Weather was perfect and it looked like record turn out. The truck won best Mazda (again). Amanda got to park next to a near identical 89 MR2 and everyone was comparing the features and specs.
Also had a surprise visitor. Dan Roths son found us and said hello. Hes...
Im excited, the organizers go out of their way to source private collections of rad cars for every event. Im hoping its like Japanese Car day on steroids! Also...people dress up so...I need to hit up GoodWill for something!
Awesome! All the toys are ready! Finished off the Mr2 with a good buff and detail then I plasti-dipped the spoiler since the paint on it was beyond saving and I kind of like the contrast. Came out perfect.
Wow, same color combo as my friends! Ill have to tell him hes got a collector car!
So with a little help from my friends, we have a running driving Mr2!
Jacob stopped by to lend a hand, and the 3 of us got the motor under the car, and up into place in about an hour. We then worked for...
I have a college friend with an Element. He had it stored for years and just recently got it back on the road again. I got to drive it when it was new. It was fun and the gear stick high on the dash was perfect for quick shifts and keeping two hands on the wheel in between.
Saturday is the...
Wasnt to bad considering, high 50s but the wind was gusting at 35 mph. This was the 7th year I think, and only the second time it was worth wandering around at the summit. Past years we have stopped on the dirt section to get photos because it was so cloudy at the summit.
Got the rest of the motor torn down. Itll be a few weeks before we get it back from the machine shop. Found a local guy who has a customer trying to boost a 4AGE, which has turned into a number of rebuilds, so he is familiar with it. Hes going to tear our motor down and give me an estimate...
Another hill climb for the REPU. Went to the top of Burke Mountain this weekend while I was at a mountain bike festival. Passed some riders on the way up. Got thumbs up on the way back down. :)
That last shot is the wedding pavilion about half way up the mountain.
