What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

Threw on some 15mm spacers on the fronts. Drove around. Tried to make a turn. Said Oh s***. Took off spacers.

Someone w/a GT model...break down the trunk request switch (the little black button next to the opener).

what do you mean? it should unlock all doors and trunk with one push if its working properly... i had mine replaced shortly after i bought the car causeit didnt work at all, and my drivers door switch is starting to act up again
 
ctaylor (or anyone)...what guage pod is that? I know tunersteve was talking to cpe or someone about making a guage pod, did they come through? Or have I just been gone so long that I am recalling things incorrectly?
 
So I was off today. Tomorrow and the whole weekend. I just saw my local drag stip has test and tune up til 5pm tomorrow. Should I give it a shot?? :)

ps. Sweet gauge!



umm yes :D, if you break your axle's or rear diff im not responsible,even though i told you to race.
 
what do you mean break down????

you press it doors unlock BAM your in.


i got a new door handle because paint was coming off the inside of the other one and new struts to lift the hatch up. oh and i got a rolling shot because i was jealous of phils.

Looks like I wont be able to make it out to the track. I'm helping my dad pick up his 65 vette here in a little while. He just got it painted. Maybe one day I'll race it down the track.

Block8head.
that pod is made by him

Steve was talking about a Dash Hawk mount for the same location. I bought a vent from the dealer and am going to make an attempt at building my own. I will let you know what happens.
 
thats a fantastic break down... 6 months later i can finally acess my trunk!!(rlaugh)

well then your stock axle's and rear diff live to drive another day (rlaugh)

but thats sweet man.. what color..

plan on doing a full detail on the car after dinner time. if i get done on time, meaning before dark ill post up some pics!!
 
drove it 1500 miles over the last week... running like a champ. I went 120 through one of the tunnels on the Pennsylvania Tpk. it was ludicrous. the car begs to go that fast! (but then I got pulled over the next day doing 82 in a 65.... fml)

anyways, Im starting to worry about my 1-2 shift... starting to feel grindy every couple 1-2 shifts... i can't see how a motor mount could help grindy
 
ok guys i have finally decided on some things for the build

- both will be ordered next week

- devils own meth injection stage 2 w/ 2.5 gallon sump tank, and a assortment of nozzles is already ordered.

....That turbo is massive! How much psi are you gonna be running?

btw. The vette is black.

the turbo is rated at 450-550 hp but thats just HP not WHP but if i hit 425 WHP id be pretty happy.

which would put me in a leaque of my own as far as speed 6's are concerned

im hoping for 25-32 psi :D.. and im also hoping the head doesnt lift off the block on the dyno.

Thats a lot of boostage. What kind of intercooler?

im thinking i might be ok with my current intercooler.

because if you look at thier universal intercoolers

http://www.turboneticsinc.com/node/81

the one at the very bottom 5-379 is basically the same size as mine that i have on now, mine is 2 inches wider then the one listed on thier site.. and with me putting on the DEI kit plus meth i shouldnt have an issue.. but if i do have one 5-379 will be ordered.
