New Member with a Tragic Story

[Joshua8336]

Hey guys, new member here. I bought my mx6 on Febuary 4th 2010,

Wrecked it 6 Days later. (boom06)

The guy who pulled it out of the creek for me said it would never run again, and would take at least 20 years to dry out. so i immediately began tearing it apart to prove everyone wrong

Here are all of the pics of the un useable parts

I wrecked it on a saturday, it sat in water for like 4 or 5 hours, and i had it running again by sunday night.
I had a video on youtube, but someone hacked me and deleted all of my videos. Plans are to have the car painted oriental blue

with a black roof, spoiler, and black rims, replace the vader bodykit, with a shogun front bumper. Swap a megasquirted turbo'd KLZE
and replace the transmission while i'm at it.

I love my mx6 and would never ever put a for sale sign on it, i love it more than i loved my ls1 90 camaro rs.

i wanted to see how fast it would go, with slick front tires, around a curve that had a creek under it

holy crap man. at least yo didnt get hurt, and the car came out ok.

You have a P5. I'll end it there.

what's a P5?

On another note, i contacted the local mazda dealership to see how much a rear bumper was, haven't heard anything back from them yet. Ordering the radiator overflow tank tomorrow. and if everything goes well, will be purchasing the DIYPNP system sometime next week

It's a Mazda Protege5. Hence the term P5.

oh ok, i understand now. rear bumper is at the dealership. just waitin for a good day to go get it. radiator overflow tank is on the way. when i get both of these back on i'll order the body kit and have an estimate done.

 

[Joshua8336]

well, i got some good news, the radiator overflow tank came in today, but it says it's for a 626. i'll let you guys know if it fits tomorrow, although i'm pretty sure it will. ordering my hood hinges, hood latch, hood prop, and some other goodies here in a few minutes
