Default What did you do to your mazda today?

Well, it seems as though we don't have enough traffic in here. And people don't seem to post much anymore. Nissan tech has a thread like this, and it really seems to work with keeping people up to date on each others projects.

So I figured I would start one for us.

Today, I just started the 929.. Let her idle for a bit and finally put my back seats in. I'm waiting to hear back from a few places about my transmission ordeal. Hopefully then I can start the tear down, and rebuild.

What about you guys/gals?

Finalized the parts list required to put her on the road. Need about $1500 more and she will be ready for the road again...

I hate when that happens, I should have my s4 n/a lsd for my 929 soon. Then no more 1 tire fryer..

I didn't even touch my 929 today, except for to lock it. There have been some thefts/break ins the past few nights, and I don't care to lose my $400 seats and Nardi wheel.

i got an oil change.

i also went to replace my boost gauge line from the crappy clear stuff that doesn't fit over the nipples with some adv auto vac line. unfortunately, the cheapass plastic nipple on the sender unit decided to snap off so i just pulled the gauge. gonna order a new sending unit and then just sell the thing. will be getting a dash hawk instead so i can monitor all of my parameters.

still waiting for warmer weather to install some parts, and waiting for after march to purchase a few more.

Damn every ones doing oil changes.. I need to do one, but my car doesn't get ran enough to permit it.

I took off my ground wire today, it was filled with dirt and oil. Cleaned it up, then I added a battery - chassis ground since the car didn't have one. Hopefully that will keep my damn battery from dying every 2-3 days..

Installed a new cluch master cylinder, new hydraulic hard line, replaced the rubber line with a braided SS line, and a new slave cylinder. Now that I have money now I think I'm going to start fixing everything on my car.
