What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

need to put my summer wheels on, i think the tread on my winters are falling apart or at least starting too.
 
The weather is looking pretty good this coming weekend for some wrenchin', including oil change, filter cleaning, new springs and my new Rotas.

Quick heads up for those that have Advance Auto Parts in their area: Seafoam is on sale this month for only $6.99. Not too shabby at all.

I'm flying into Boston this week. Anybody local willing to do a pickup? I have transportation from the airport but it is crazy expensive.
 
Ordered the fender roller tool from SU today for only $55 great deal, and I'm getting my tires put on as we speak.

Same here supposed to be in the low 70's saturday. Plans are to roll the fenders, put on springs, and pop on the new wheels. I can't wait.
 
well i think i finally solved all my issues,.
- coolant flushed, new coolant refilled to full after a little driving
- no oil leaks since spin on conversion install
- pwr steering leak, confirmed by my mechanic as coming from the feed hose to the reservoir, i double clamped that spot, so far no more leaks
- had massive brake chatter after accident, just got rotors resurfaced due to slight warping... perfectly smooth braking again
- rotated tires, was way overdue... she is getting real close to 60k mark, sitting pretty at roughly ~59500 miles. eek!

All in all, she is driving beautifully again, just PURRRSS on the yummy Royal Purple. I had never seen this oil, it is ACTUALLY purple! haha. matches mah car :p and im starting to save again for coilovers & wheels. hopefully it wont go towards repairs again. Recent photo shoot, pics still be processed, will post soon.
cheers
 
^I too am hovering right below 60K. Just got the car back from the shop (AWD is useless on ice) with a new rear bumper. Summer wheels (RX-8s) and new front rotors tomorrow. Thinking about painting the stockers graphite.
 
prosport electrical..

didnt get home early enough tonight... so tomorrow will be a split shift of tinkering with the car before and after work... things to complete are:

- more LED swaps.. already did the city lights...
- finish gauge wiring
- swap rims
 
oh yeah... i forgot to mention i found a pair of long handled, 45 degree needle nosed pliers in my engine bay... assuming they belong to the tech that works on my car at the dealership, that would mean they have been in there for almost 4 months(boom06)
