At some point I will tackle putting the heated seat pads in, as my factory seats had heat and the switches for them are tucked away under the seat for now I may have to do a better write up of this then. Airbag light is still very on, have yet to take care of that, I think I'll probably just...

A little update on this, when I originally installed my Mazdaspeed seats into my 6 I only ever got 3 bolts in on the driver side, I have fixed this. Here is how, I would recommend doing this before you put the bottom cushion on the seat frame. The driver seat frame rail where the front 2 bolts...

Interesting I don't think I'd ever go full out like that for a DD street car, maybe if I went full race car, but I'm not there yet, other issues need to be addressed first.

Miatas are 1/2 the weight of a MS6 though also much narrower and shorter all around. I've owned an 99 NB and I will say that in a miata even at low speed with no PS it is still FAR easier to maneuver than a MS6 with a dead PS pump is.

When my PS went out, highway and city driving where fine, parking was WAY harder, had to parallel park alot at that time making it a bitch to turn the wheel. And how much larger are we talking here

I own an 06 LMP MS6, pretty much bone stock with minor upgrades/updates to the car. I recently bought a blown motor from a guy and got some extra goodies with it, one of the things was an OEM Mazda power steering pump delete pully, I've driven my MS6 with a bad pump and no power steering (pump...

Being on a shitty reman LKQ motor (very shitily installed under warranty, the very easy wiring was a rat's nest and LOTS of things connected to the exhaust side of the motor where loose and the hood latch was now broken, front bumper wasn't holding anymore and boost leaks on both sides of the...

I posed before about my original to me motor going ZZB 45 day into owning (as many before me, rod 4 let go and said hello to the world) literally just driving the car, but I think I left out that the car already had a pretty rough life before I picked it up. Previous owner/s, dealer/carfax...

I got the entire long block, DI injectors (2nd extra set) & rail, 3 extra oem coil packs (I now have 7 extra lol), and new to me red mazdaspeed oil cap (I've wanted one of these for awhile now), and an oem intake for $300 plus putting some gas in my coworkers car to go pickup the motor all in...

Here is the damage mentioned, cant see the snapped ring but the cylinder wall damage is obvious.

I'm starting a build log for my motor build mostly just going to be me documenting my journey building my DD MS6, with it being a DD I can't have her down for very long. So I do things as I can and have time for. So yesterday I secured myself a blown motor, dude I picked it up from said the...

How much for one? Looking to swap ITFP to a hellcat pump when it comes in from graveyard.

Have any of these pump rings laying around still?

Swapped out ebcs, boosting issue fixed, grimmspeed 2 port set up for now, still swapping turbo out this weekend though.

It shouldn't fly at any dealership anywhere period, after i got that response I was livid and knew they didnt give a shit and just wanted me gone. But in the end I got it all sorted, luckily I did my research beforehand on these cars being notorious for high milage motors throwing rods. but I...

This was all last year, it's all done and over with now, I'm a mechanic myself so I knew how and was comfortable fixing all the broken shit myself. Management at the dealership was basically just sketchy the entire time and gave me the run around, and didn't want to hear any of it, and didnt...

Son is good and healthy, warranty covered a motor without much effort on my end due to me explaining to the warranty company what a shitshow the "5 star" dealership put me through, and paperwork to prove things had and had not happened. Dealer claimed on carfax they did an oil change on the car...

I was a couple months away from having a kid and needed something more "reliable" than my 2 door 91 blazer that was falling apart and I didn't have the money for parts or time to fix (needed basically an entire drivetrain swap engine to diff) I started looking for cars in the beginning of 2019...
