I'm going to jump the 626 when I get home, and give it a quick was (ie: hose it)

got a potential buyer coming to look tonight.



hopefully he wants it, I'm getting sick of having it in the way all the time.

BUY IT!!!

then I will have room to get another car next year

Yeah it's a bit of a test. Want to get the radiator upgraded anyway because of the rubbish thermal efficiency of my FMIC.

Washed the car this afternoon, then not even 30mins later a freak storm came and made it dirty again!

So I'll be getting up early 2moro morning and chamoising it clean and hitting it with the clay bar

Cheers
Marc

installed the JVC mp3 playing head unit from my crashed 323 sedan.

also ripped out the old boost controller and associated wiring and 2 crappy unused switches from the centre console area.

my clock had been dimming down to unreadable during day or night, but now its strong and bright. i use car clocks all the time so it irked me that it faded out. i think there was too much crap hanging off the 12v line from the light behind the cig lighter.

now I just have to do to the Transport department and get the plates changed over

Cheers

Dropped Gort off at the Mazda Dealer for his first visit since 2006. (he was serviced elsewhere outside of Mazda for most of his life so far).

For the next two days he's getting pampered with all the factory updates and love that he missed out on. Got to love people who ignore the fact that Mazda may have updates and improvements for the car and never even check. ie he was traded because the previous owners had trouble with the clutch, and Mazda has a Tech Bulletin fix for the exact problem....

The 1 hour ride in the Service Depts. Courtesy Bus as it zig zagged across Canberra was a little interesting....
