1989 Mazda MX-6 GT - low miles, very unique car
A friend of a friend is selling a 1989 Mazda MX-6 GT. This is a terrific 12-valve 2.2liter turbo. It's the MX-6 two-door coupe.

Potentialy fun and stupid idea...
My 2002 Protege5 wagon, five-speed, is in really nice shape - a terrific basic car. Years ago, I had a 1990 626 GT with the great F2T 12V 2.2 liter turbo. Anyone know about swapping in the F2T motor and tranny into the Protege? Ideally, swap the whole thing over - engine, tranny, possibly even front...

Possible ATDS Mazda scam??
A co-worker got a letter in the mail purporting to be from "Automotive Testing and Development Services." He's got a 2010 Mazda 3. The letter says Mazda is doing "an emissions study of customer owned vehicles." If you give them your Mazda for a day to go to a dyno in Aurora and put ~80 miles on it, ...

Fuel mileage report
If anyone wants some data, I just drove my 2002 Protege5 five-speed to and from Las Vegas. The car is stock except 195/55R16 tires, slightly taller than the 195/50R16 stock size. Around town, driving mildly, I get 28-31 mpg. Drove from Boulder to Las Vegas on Monday, 10/20. Good weather, no issues. ...

Changing low beam headlight bulb
Not sure if I'm venting or begging for help. If there's a trick, please advise... Okay, I'm wondering just what sort of pyschotically angry, anti-social, mechanic-hating, origami-champion, automotive engineer designed the low beam headlight bulb insertion/retention system in the 2002 Protege5? Or, f...

A looong time ago, they had a couple of ice autocrosses up there. Four car classes: FWD/AWD or RWD and with/without studs. I ran both a Miata and a 1990 626 GT (fwd turbo), without studs. Took a long time to do the course, but fun as hell. One time was incredibly windy but fairly warm, so really sli...
