Installing a head unit?

 

yep. the one sitting on the top. took it out of our tC after i totaled it

 

Got some body work done :p

 

Oooo that looks spiffy. Get that pic up once you get it installed!

 

New coils/plugs/wires installed. Starts up like a beauty.

 

Welp got my engine oil changed, as well as new coils and plugs. Sun was going down last night so I had to quite early. But i'm hoping tomorrow to do the gear oil and maybe diff.

 

gutted my fuel pump and made it for a returned fuel system

 

finished my double din install...



Also, the light bulb in my trunk was missing, so I opted to use a 3ish foot strip of LEDs I got super cheap (like $6 for 16 feet). Needless to say getting groceries out will be a lot easier now. Probably excessive, but a lot better than stock single bulb setups. It looks blue, but is really like a 6000k white.

 

Cleaned her! Waxed the body, cleaned the rims with a toothbrush, buffed the head lights to get rid of that crappy foggy/old look and attempted to remove the tail light to get rid of the moisture before giving up - stupid winter, dark by 6PM

 

Getting closer to 200,000 miles.

 

I am using Castrol Super 2 Stroke, recommended for premix and injector systems. I am putting in 4 oz per fill. I also bought (because it was on sale MotoMaster Formula 1). I've only premixed twice and am keeping a record for mileage to see if there is an improvement above 19 mpg. The car runs very smooth, but did before premixing.

 

drove it to work today. did brakes last week, oil pressure mod and re sealed the pan. my ignition has less than 10k but i replace it every spring, parts are sitting in my garage

 

Washed it and maybe this week start my rear OEM spoiler install. I think I got a good deal on it. Paid $60 + $30 shipping (ebay) and it's a new Mazda part (primed). Will check local auto body supplier for finish material.

 

Installed the BHR ignition set, sprayed the MAF & throttle body. Had a missfire CEL P0301, checked everything, could have been from MAF because it finally reset and runs real smooth. Next to do, my rad reservoir low level sensor shows up sometimes. Getting more familiar under the hood.

 

more pictures once installed

 

did the auxiliary hack, it's running through my ashtray as of now, I have another 4 ft male cordI'm going to add in a minute

Went to the mazdas in the park meet in CT this past weekend .. just wanted to show my finished setup

 

Looks awesome ^

 

Cleaned the inside and got rid of mildew / moisture from the rain. My front and rear spacers and front lip came in the mail today. Possibly doing that and dipping my wheels matte black tomorrow .

 

ableobject, what rear bumper, diffuser is that?

 

ive got all my wiring for my sub run, including the amp remote volume control, which is in placed in one of the switch blanks next to the traction control. so it looks stock (if you didnt know better). now i need to finish my box, hook it up, and cut a hole in the backseat pass-through door.

 

Vader/veilside..

 

Fairly simple, but I installed the RP/AFE short shifter and a voodoo ****.

Since it had been a while since I had been in an 8 and felt the shifter, I checked to make sure it was the stock shifter before ordering from RP. Now that I have the RP shifter, I'm reminded how great it is and it almost seems silly that I even considered one was already installed before. I always thought it was one of my better mod choices before and I'll gladly stand by that again.

I also researched in preparation to add an aux audio port and removing the in-dash GPS.

 

Over the weekend I fixed my headlights.
