What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

(yes)

ok guys what do you think of my rebuild powdercoating color choices..

Valve Cover Recoated Candy Blue

That's the only one I'm wondering about... will it be too much blue? Otherwise it sounds great.

Last idea... what about some bolts and hardware being blue? I'm not sure if it's possible to do without going anodized aluminum, which is probably too soft for anything seriously structural. Would look cool though!
 
I forgot how quiet this car actually is when it's bone stock. And comfortable, too!

Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend. Be safe!

Im just recoating it.. everything around it will be Wrinkle Black..
 
i (lol2).. both are 3 stage paints... lol.. but keeping your car clean does help with aerodynamics.. proven on mythbusters. :)

Actually, you need to dimple the outside of your car like a golf ball to help with aerodynamics, if you want to do it right. ;)

So is today like troll the mazda forums day? lol cause so far that is all I have been doing... now part of it has had to do with batou :P I blame him!
 
haha, i mean, oops.
dont ban me oh mighty mods!

on another note, what i did to my MS6 today...
uh. sat it in my driveway for 5 minutes to warm up before work, and got out and admired the car, then drove to work.

haha im such a lame-O.
 
damnit Eyedea you have done and are doing so much i WANT to do still. ETS TMIC, inlet, exhaust, and AP!

two of said items on their way, and just cleared up my order with Tripoint, after they straightened out my order, i realized they ended up with my old address still and i wouldnt be there to give the signature and i HAVE to have the brake pads by tomorrow.

so i was able to get FedEx to reroute my order for personal pickup at a local receiving center.
I'm SO relieved right now, picking it up after work on my way to a car meet. WOOT!

Haha, thanks. Next coming up is either a full downpipe or at least the Corksport racepipe. I wanna get to use the stage 2 maps asap. I cant wait to have the AP here so I can finally get the car running even better!
