What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

Finally put in my ATP 3" inlet. Could not for the life of me get a t-bolt clamp in the turbo inlet. Had to re-use the worm clamp. The t-bolt kept rubbing up on the turbo housing. Qwick6 you were right!
The inlet is a tight fit and I may get a shorter filter for the Cobb SRI or even a mushroom style as the one that comes with it touches the head lamp. I removed the Cobb mount for the SRI too, the ATP inlet can work with the stock airbox so that moves things out further. Its not really an SRI anymore! I need to clean up the hose for the BOV its a little kinked... I should post pics lol.
 
Ran her through the touchless wash, due to get more rain/snow tomorrow but I hate having a dirty car.
 
Took mine to the car wash this morning for a power blast of water with the soap brush. Car is still filthy! Went and got my new tires on. And do they look beefy :) They look awesome but the fronts rub. :(

Rides great though. Feels a little bit smoother over the 235's.

Wow, you got the 245's? Those are some fatties! How bad is the rub... are you going to roll the fenders?

I'm due for a wash tonight, the salt can cake on really fast this time of year. My only recent upgrade was to park it in the garage for the first time now that I've finally cleaned it out. Goodbye window scraping every morning!

245/40's :) It doesn't rub that bad. My last set of brand new 235's rubbed on that front drivers side for a couple weeks. I'll give it a few days to see if it lightens up some. The rears dont rub at all. May put my 5mm spacers back on the rear to see how close I can push it. I can't really roll the front fenders? They are already rolled a little bit. I'm guessing from the factory they are like this?
 
Fronts are pretty flat from the factory. Though speed fenders aren't identical to 6i/6s fenders.
 
Giving mine a bath tonight, throwing some fuel treatment in, and hopefully getting around to oil change and tire rotation tomorrow during the day.
 
Looks like everyones been doing the cleaning... I washed mine a couple days ago (with my wonderful seasons pass at the glide auto wash(alright)) but I just finished spending an hour or two really cleaning the interior. All matts taken out, vacummed, armour all-ed, yada, yada, yada.
 
Came out from a restaurant last night to this.......

That sucks Evolved^^. I saw the bumper, but then caught the damage around the taillight...dickhead move, for sure.

My new Cobb intake is on it's way, will be here on Tues. That will be a fine day.(attn)

I'd been waiting for another company's updated version, but it was endlessly delayed (for the past three months) due to "blah", and "blah broken", and "blah blah, in two weeks". Frankly, I don't see how some businesses stay in business.
 
Ouchh^ Sorry.

Put on my RPM Streets today. Rotors and pads are on their way along with the CS Tip and DP.
 
Checked my tire pressures and they were all low. Not sure why the tire shop only put 32-34psi in each tire. Put my 5mm spacers back on the rear. :) Everything is very flush now. Once I get the car cleaned up I will be taking some pictures. 245's ftw
