I like!

Personally I think I'd be looking for an alternative place to put it, but keep us posted on how it performs!

That would require some lube Dave.

Lots of OBII style gauges nowadays. Nice and cheap though ($189).
This one needs a shift light incorporated (blinks the screen at set RPM).

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

OMG is that oil filter hard to get at!
If you think its hard to change a filter, try fitting a Oil Filter Relocation kit!
Oh well, its done now, so easy filter changes from now on.
I also removed the 'tow' hooks and fitted a new slat grill.
Had the front bumper off to get at the eye teeth, so relocated the sebel above the ic behind the bar.

Well, MINX now has a big Brother!
Due to my ruptured achillies tendon, I cant drive a manual for a while.

So I bought this!

Mazda 6 Classic Sedan Auto MY08 24,400km
Copper Red.
No modds planned just yet :lol:
But it does already have a Boot spoiler from the 6 'Hatch' version.

Looks cool huh?
