Many people doubted my ability when I told them I was rebuilding a mazda in my garage. and they were right, i needed help with organization, motivation, and attention to detail, Honest to god I didn't know what mindset I needed to do it but I learned a lot. I gotta thank my dad for helping me through this the experiences I had working with him will mold me forever, but I digress. Going I got the 6Zilla (AKA: The mazdarati) running day before yesterday. the wiesco pistons and eagle rods leave me doubtfull of a power gain but the strength of the engine will show when boost comes. the car runs just like it did before except a little idle issue caused by the intake runner flaps being suck open due to me breaking the plugin. the car runs fantastic it rev's out and sounds really nice with my hacked cold air (i understand theirs no power gain but it sounds a lot more throaty and makes wooshy noises) If anyone has any questions I'm happy to answer some of the difficulties I went through.

So I picked up a metro bezel with an aftermarket radio in it fr the junkyard. It’s the discontinued single din one. It didn’t come with this wiring harness. My hazards, rear defrosters, and steering wheel radio controls aren’t working. Is this the wiring harness I need? Can anyone please give me...
Hey guys, first post (I believe) on this forum, but I used to be fairly active on MSF and MSO. I've been looking at bringing back my family's old Mazda6 to life, and was wondering what the consensus was on what to start with. I'll give a little bit of info. Car has 250k miles and nothing has...
Hi everyone. This always happens on a cold start. when the engine gets hot after a while, is turned off and turned on again, the noise doesn´t come out. i´m a real newbie with cars and recently just bought this one, but i assume that this has something to do with the oil circulation throughout...
