HAHAHAHA I a lot of smoking would happen...idk about how much looking for leaks will though</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Car parts are arriving again! I ordered a set of corksport bushings with the 3rd link along with another set of headlights. I'm currently looking into the best way to restore the lights as I want them to last. But that will be in the future. Also got engaged to my girlfriend of 6 years this past week in Atlanta, and apparently she actually wants to get married in the next year or 2 so that throws a wrench in car building plans lol While down on one knee I told her I was putting the coilovers on hold to finance this ring and I got an eye roll and a little laugh. It's nice having someone that (although she completely doesn't understand. She just likes when I save her a lot of money on labor) somewhat understands my obsession with the car and lets me do what I want without too much lip. Lastly, talking to 323 about rebuilding/forging an engine has me excited to get one in the future (hopefully within the next year to year and a half) to start building and have ready to drop in the P5.<br />

Thanks man! She also has a mild interest in cars due to me. I still hear it, but as long as my bills are paid she doesn't say anything</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">So driving the sedan this morning in mild rain had me very annoyed with the stock wiper stalk. I don't know how or why Mazda made that stalk. There's no setting that works due to there being no variable intermittent setting. I thought I could deal with it due to it being a daily beater but I folded today and got another stalk.

I was surprised how annoyed I could get over something so simple</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Went to go fix the P5 today, but turns out my couplers are held on with 12mm nuts, and of course that's the only deep socket I dont have. I have one of 323's somewhere in the engine bay, but not a clue where that one went. But, I did get the carbon fiber fuel door on and it looks amazing! Hoping the picture quality doesn't ruin the true beauty it radiates.<br />

<div class="bbWrapper">Little sedan update, she doesn't get enough love for her own thread. But I noticed there was a hole in the coolant expansion tank a 2 weeks ago and haven't had the time to grab another tank as I was going to Atlanta, so I was paranoid the whole ddrive there as we had to drop off the Sonata to get new axles (2nd time in 2 years). Got back and went to pick n pull and I grabbed one and it crumbled in my hands and the other protege they had had a hole in it already. 323 saved me yet agian with the ebay link. Got that and the wiper stalk on just now. Will try to smoke test the wagon wednesday.<br />
