What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

Got a new Recirc hose for the bov to the inlet as mine has a bit of a crack in it...

$16 dollars from mazda is not bad.

Installing later today and putting on my SU vinyls as well!
Any suggestion on putting on small 6inch vinyls. Never done this before....

If the fit on the back doors on the sail windows, I'd put them there. I bought their silicone hose when I did my turbo inlet, and it worked well. I think it was $20.
 
Datalog fail tonight. Did a nice run through 3rd and 4th. Toppin out 4th. Then to stop the datalog I had actually started it....
 
Got the interior all cleaned up and checked fluids, as well as lubricated the door jambs/guides/locks. Thought about changing my oil, but felt too lazy to do so, so I'll just get it some night this week.
 
My sister asked to drive my car (also cannot drive stick) but I said no... lol.

Mine's about to take driver's training, and wants to know how, so I gave her a chance. I was pleasantly surprised how well she caught on and enjoyed it. Looks like someone else will be hooked on manuals now.
 
Finally installed my Cobb SRI and Greddy TypeS bov.

Quick question, I broke one of stock bolts for the bpv in half. I don't feel any leaks and the car is running fine but can I go to the dealer (with the stock parts of course) and have them replace that under warranty??

Or how can I get the half of the broken bolt out??

Ummmmmm no. You installed a aftermarket part and in the process broke the bolt. Not covered. Go to Sears n get a bolt extractor. Should take yo all of 15-20 min to fix.
 
Put my front plate back on today. Fixed my rear plate. Straightened it up and removed that clear cover that was holding in dirt. Tried for the 3rd time to adjust my magnaflow catback! I still CANT get the left side to line up good. The left side wont even tighten down now. Should of went with another exhaust. I might have an exhaust shop run new piping from the y back so it doesnt have any more connections. Then put the stock exhaust tip look-a-likes back on. Straight pipes possible.. That might actually be too loud.

Bought the e-tune from race roots. I am going to have my car put on a dyno here in the next couple weeks as a baseline to see what is gained from the e-tune they offer.
