What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

:O

excuse me for a second while I pickup my jaw from the floor... Looks like we will be looking at one of the faster speed 6's!

On a side note... how the hell can you afford so much stuff so quickly!? Damn!

it sounded like his bank let him refinance his car loan?
maybe free'd up quite a bit of monthly wiggle room, so he is spending it in a lump sum i suppose?

well thats part of it.. and i had some cash saved up for the RX-7 too..

my goal is to be in the 12.2-12.6 range on the 1/4 mile, along with being a show car, and also the Signature Shop Car for the new business..

the turbo i could get out of that list could always change..

Can't wait to see it all done and shiny! Haven't seen a speed 6 yet with a wire tuck so that I am interested, just to see how much it will clean up the engine bay.

im not 100% confident i can do a 100% Tuck.. i know i can do alot of it.. and all the Lines going to the IM can be re routed too.. theres really no way of getting around the coil pack wires though.. we'll see..
 
ordered the GB taillights.. hopefully I dont screw those up like I do every other mod.

also, considering removing the shift plate... I'm too paranoid now that some people said its not good for the car.

Yeah I was trying to figure out how exactly that was going to work... I'm used to seeing Supra's with a full tuck and it just makes the engine bay look so clean... washer fluid, battery, and all that relocated to the truck so its just engine, turbo, and piping. SOOO CLEAN.

Speaking of Supra's, probably going on a cruise with my Supra friend today :) He needs some help replacing his valve cover seals, then gonna cruise after. Ill see if I can snaps some pics
 
washed it today in record time, only took an hour to do ONR on the whole car including wheels... it looks good for this hour, but by tomorrow it will be coated in Pollen again... but I'm ready for Lime Rock tomorrow!
 
re installed my low beam bulbs last nite, didnt turn out as good as i wanted it to be.

and to add on to that, my check engine light came on today, gunna find out in a couple of hours what the code is....hoping its nothing too serious since the car felt fine when i drove it. ef em el
 
Finally installed the SLS Test Pipe that has been sitting in my closet for a few months while I was out of town. They quality of the Stainless Steel pipe is great. My only knock was on the hardware they shipped, not one lock washer or lock nut. I replaced the nuts with lock nuts and moved on.
 
I kno this isnt a "ask a question" thread but since we dont have a shout/chat box and it would be pointless to start a new one.... so i wanted to ask the trunk cargo net owners/non owners to see if anyone on here knows where i can get the screws that are located in the trunk?

The screws that im talkin about are on the bottom right when you open the trunk... theres two on both sides and they're basically there to hold the trunk cargo net.

My problem is.... two of them broke.. so i either need to replace them or just sell the cargo net.

once again, my bad for thread jack.

I'll buy the cargo net... I've always needed/wanted one.
 
Got the Kumhos installed. So far the car is so much quieter than with the Paradas and drives great. Only put about 5 miles on them since I got them installed.

Well let me just say that the trunk cargo net is pretty handy but if i cant find the screws then its yours. Pm me in a couple of days.


Anyone else know where i can get the screws?
 
Well I got some bad news... Ends up I am waiting a couple more weeks for my Cobb AP. Decided to save some extra money before I buy it. But! Instead I ordered my sharkfin antenna, black eyelids, and sls test pipe :)
 
I managed to change the oil as well as the transmission fluid. My 3 new center vents came in so I put those in. I love how now the vent actually stays where you put it instead of flopping closed!!

I went to the track tonight and made a couple passes. My best time of the 2 was a 13.1 @ 105.

mmmmm New Rubber.. Always hard to launch the car with new tires.. but the car looks badass with new tread especially if your lowered..
