An uncommon platform, but not in like a cool way - Mazda6

[rightfullrudder]

Like how this looks, always drive by a mazda dealership on the way home mazda6 seems bulky IMO

I actually like the way the newest (2014) looks better than mine which is the 2009-2013.

Good news: Removing rear perches and spinning the front coils down after finals are over, which are kicking my ass. Then a legit photoshoot!

[rightfullrudder]

Well the photo shoot happened. I like how this one turned out, it's the first one that got edited. Thanks lowgto!




Meanwhile the car has been a bitch with regard to sowo prep. First a tire debeaded and then a couple of wheel studs snapped off in my lugs as I removed the wheels to lower the car. Have to deal with studs first obviously.



Oh and I got pulled over today while trying to figure this out. Don't you **** when cops sit in subdivisions to catch people who roll the stop signs situated every 100 feet?

[rightfullrudder]

Time for a new CV boot, somehow the axle itself is fine.




Also I'd like to present my project car. Fortunately the racing stripes were just a temporary thing to use up my last couple cans of plastidip from the early days of the Mazda.

Plans are low, wide, bosozuku inspired, maybe a sawzall convertible.

California rolling stop, cops here don't give a shit unless you look like a douche. What did you tell the cop?

Those are the OEM studs, right? Shit seems dangerous.

I mean I was in what was nearly a gated community, I wasn't familiar with the area and he was waiting. I told him it was funny because I had just staged a photo to look like I was being pulled over, he laughed and I ended up with a warning

Yeah, OEM studs. I think a shop may have tightened lugs with an impact gun, compromising all the studs. Couldn't get ARP in time for Sowo so OEM replacements it is.

Also in the works are 2 new tires because my fronts were shot so I'm picking up 225/35 tomorrow and hopefully FINALLY lowering the car some more. Damn I need to buy some tools with my next paycheck.

Dang impact guns!

This is awesome. A guy in one of my classes at one of these, same color also. He said he thought about modifying it. I wish he would of after seeing this. This thing is fantastic.

Well, SoWo was a blast. Met some cool people.


Hot dog guy AKA Justin did several trips up and down Edelweiss Strasse on my roof.



Rolled up with my buddy



After a wash, parked here and walked around for a while.



On Sunday they got lax about who parked where.



Hung out with Denny and Alex. Nice meeting you guys.
