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

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! No blizzard out here...did wake up to a white Christmas but by the time we drove home late in the afternoon it was all melted.

Now that the day is winding down, what kind of loot did Santa bring? Some of the highlights for me this year are a Mazda wallet, AEM Dryflo filter (now I have two so there is no down time when one needs to be cleaned), JVC h/u (HD radio ready and aux/USB ports for iPod hookup...no more cds for me...lol), portable air compressor and 1/2" impact wrench (look out, I now have air tools!!) and a Fiorentina 2012/2013 home jersey

i was hoping someone might have hauled a KL under the tree... but that was a stretch.
I want it to snow... sure i can't drive in the snow, but hiking in the snow is awesome... but i'd have to hike out to the hike
 
Well, back to the grind stone, I just hope I don't have issues getting back home after work tonight.

I've got a KL with a blown headgasket if you want it. $150. :)
 
I didn't get anything car related this christmas but did get a lot of neat stuff. Kennedy on ther other had got a ton of stuff, all sorts of things with lights and sounds but her favortite present was a christmas bear that's a little bigger than she is.

I'm only working a half-ish day at work so I can hopefully get home before it gets too bad and the other drivers are on the road
 
I got an Oil Catch Can, Short shift plate with shift weight, shifter bushings, rear hatch rubber mazda mat, rx8 wheels painted, LED fogs, ratcheting screwdriver set, that new kobalt double drive ratchet set, cleaning supplies, tool bag, and early birthday present of Blizzaks for my stocks to be put on today in preparation of the epic blizzard we are supposedly going to get.

For some reason I thought that engine was gone. I wish I were able to do an engine swap. Actually the engine part wouldn't be the problem, wiring on the other hand is outside of my skill set. Besides, my other financial resposibilities would never allow it. Unless the P5 goes zoom-zoom-boom and then I would have almost no other option but a swap.
I did take the 3 to get the winter tires mounted up. 30 bucks out the door, not a bad deal IMO.
 
Well, the new toy got some accessories for the holidays. Unwrapped a wind fairing for the roof rack and got a pickup ticket for a set of vent visors.
 
How's the snow up north? Columbus is getting it pretty good. Nothing had been touched when I was driving at 8:30 this morning. The DWS were pretty good in the snow but I got my snows put on first thing when I got in so ill be much more comfortable driving home tonight.
 
my sister's car has a CEL again, 0421. Does anybody know if I can use the cat cleaning process from the speed models? hers is a 2004 Mazda 6 V6

- put car in Neutral
- rev between 3500 and 4000 for 2 min
- can will idle by itself after that
