What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

[Guest20182]

Your spring installation went a lot smoother than mine...

I've ordered replacement end links. I'm just gonna hacksaw the f**kers off.

This is a shot in the dark, but I feel like their is allen/hex bolt that you put a wrench in to keep that bolt from turning..Not 100% sure on this, but I feel like I just read it somewhere. I'm about to find out, RB rear sway will be here today.

I followed the how to in our section. It went pretty flawless actually. I didn't realize that the Tein springs would drop my car as much as they did. I'm waiting for the springs to settle but damn it rides so smooth now with the Nitto Neo Gen tires.

Yes the front endlinks I had to put a allen wrench in there and keep the bolt from turning while i twisted the nut off.


And the rear is easy its like 3 bolts and use the jack to take tension off the springs and then lower them down and the springs pop right out.

Can't waittttttt for my ap to come in. So eager lol...

So I have some n00b questions . Best map for me to run would be Stage1+SF 93 Octane correct? I actually use 94 octane though, you can't get 93 here it's either 91 or 94. I have the Cobb SRI, Cobb TIP and Forge BPV.

Just wanna make sure I run the best/safest map.

Im about 300 mi away from hitting 60k mark. sad times.
good news is pwr steering fluid leak stopped. the double clamp saved the day.
and mazfest 2011 is kicking in. been keeping me a bit more busy.

 

[monsoon725]

Theres a huge cobb AP thread in the ECU section. It's painful but I read the whole thing. Id suggest the same. Your exact question is in there somewhere but yes.

 

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

just got an email from kmd tuning for fuel pump internals letting me know they are ready for purchase ..so i just called them and placed my order. should be here next week

 

[boost2dms6]

New wheels and tires.. Posting up more pics in the wheel/tire section but here is what I've done..

 

[Tungsten6]

Never seen that done before! I think I like!

 

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

yes i like it as well...very different....congrats boost

 

[boost2dms6]

Thanks guys, these wheels are badass and possibly the easiest wheels to keep clean I've ever seen. They are matte black and all I had to do was wipe the lip off.

Springs are Tein S-Tech, same as what Qwik had on his at one time.

 

[04gixx6]

Looks damn good boost2dms6!

 

[OJ Bartley]

Looks really good boost2d... very unique, I haven't seen that lip before. It's a nice match with the Ti Grey.

 

[boost2dms6]

Thanks man, yeah its the neo-chrome lip. These wheels aren't made anymore but they are made like the gramlights wheels. I've been eyeballing these wheels for a few years now. Always had a red car though and the lip wouldn't look right on them. I knew that my grey would make them pop. Not many other colors out there could actually make these look good. Overall I'm beyond pleased with the setup.

I plan to black out the roof soon and get some new taillights to finish the exterior of the car.

Got my oil changed and I'm definitely going to need new front pads/rotors in the next couple of months. To pay the $503 out-the-door at Firestone....or source the pads/rotors myself and go the DYI route.....

Go to Napa. Get Brembo blanks for $45 a pop and ceramic pads for $40 a pair. **** the stealership.

 

[Tungsten6]

They make brembo blanks for our cars on all 4 corners? i looked before and i think i could only find the rears.

 

[VRMS6]

Feel like such a traitor am at dealership maybe trading my VRMS6 in. Guess a fs post for wheels n such may soon be in order...

What are you getting? Staying Mazda or...?
And yes...pre-listing of parts please. We live in the same area...I'd just save you the hassle on shipping.
LMK if you're getting a truck...I have a nice set of Enkei 3-pieces just BEGGING to be put on a truck (because they have the truck tires still on it...)

...but I'm also curious. For what car are you thinking about trading?
