galexie64 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I decided to tackle a big job this past weekend. The full interior color change. I didn't complete everything but I did get most of it done. The dash, carpet, front seats, the trim from the rear seats forward, rear seat bottoms, and the center console. I still need to do some of the rear trim, the rear seat backs, three door panels and the rear carpet. The door panels need to be re-glued before the install. I took my time on this because I wanted to do it right one time. I cleaned everything before the install. I also repaired the heating system so I'm not stuck on defrost. It turns out that my problem was a Lego piece inside the heat duct jamming one of the flaps but I went ahead and replaced the actuator to be sure.

I have my Mazda for when I want to drive a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list of retairs: -replace the radiator -turbo drain line seals -tranny to angle gear seals -passenger side front wheel bearing -fuel pump tank seal -spark plugs "Fun" stuff: -Snabb RIP kit -Snabb fresh-air pipe -silicon vacuum lines -SAS delete -tuning I have a laptop setup for tuning and I have everything I need to add the switch to the old AWD ECU. I will get pictures posted of everything soon. I need to get a wideband and a 3" downpipe to complete my plans for the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
