Here we go again, I installed both mirrors next I will need to wire them up. I went and added some color to the engine bay but that's all the color I'm going to add or it might look like road kill.
What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

- Start date
To wire the lights here's what I did:
Pull the turn signals completely out (the bulbs sit in a plastic holder that comes completely out on the speed...not sure about a reg 6)
Get some wire
Attach wire to the the bulb holders (there's tabs for +/- on the plastic holders, just loop the bare wire around those)
Put back in the bulb
Attach the other end of the wires to each corresponding +/- wire from the mirrors
Check hazards/turn signals
Done
PROTIP:
Unbolt the fenders and run wires behind the bolts for a clean, wire free install!

I've been trying to get rid of a loud humming in the rear for some time now. I thought it was my bald-as-eff tires, so I got those replaced. Still humming. So I figured it was the passenger-side rear wheel bearing (since the humming went away during left-hand sweepers, thereby loading up the bearing and quieting it down). So I replaced that. Still humming. Finally found out today that it was the driver's-side rear. So that gives me something to do this weekend.
I was amazed that the suspension bolts weren't absolutely frozen. Sure, they took some PB and a good deal of wrenching, but they went without a problem.
On a brighter note, my service guy took a look at the diff to make sure it was in good order and he said that the fluid looked like I had just put it in there, even though I replaced the fluid no less than 40,000 miles ago. Redline fluids FTW!

Installed one of the carbon fiber mirror covers it was a lot of work just for one cover and I have not even installed the other cover or wired them up.
How did you manage to run the wiring through the door jamb??
It was fairly simple...

It's getting old Taylor lol, make uup your damn mind.
lol. Ew, no. It would be a low mileage Gen1 speed3. Which I have found a pearl white one I want. I have been trying to like the gen2 for a while but I just can't do it. I may be able to pull off the white when it comes out in 2012 but it would make for a lot of work I would have to do for it apeal right to me. The interior is terrible. Mazda had it right on the gen1. I have sat in a speed3 a few times and I must say it was much more comfy than my speed6 was.
Haha. I just miss mazda. I don't feel right on the corvette forum... like im too young and broke. Which the corvette has made me. Few hundred bucks here and there adds up after a while. And with no over time at work the bank account is dropping fast.
But in all seriousness I put a whole lot of work into the vette to get it right. Time to sell while its in prime and start fresh with something newer and less miles thats I am very familiar with. fwd may suck but I dont plan on big power with it.

Well I was up early so I had a monster java coffee and thought to myself I need to get my mirrors wired up already. I went outside and got to work on them, they are wired up to my side markers. (coffee)
