It was pretty nasty here today lots of rain and wind! Was a good afternoon to install some soap dish’s in a shower! This is the view, it almost directly about the house we are doing on the water

Needed Some smaller outside diameter washers, so I rig this up in my drill and used a 90° grinder with flap wheel, kind of hokey but it worked! LOL

It's a riot to drive but im a little to big for it. The drives seat doesn't come up high enough in the to support my knees.

Mine came today. I got the spike installed, and the bar and chain. But it’s raining and I’m sick, so I didn’t get a chance to try it out.

What battery do those take.

Just the regular 18v Lithium Ion batteries.

Hopefully mazda got their 2.3 sorted out by now,,, Ive changed out 3 engines. Mazd6a 3, 5 ,6 all round 2004 around 100k they start using oil for some reason,, people dont check it and Zoom zoom boom, odd thing is more standard trans engines went then autos.I swapped in ford fusion engines, you have to swap a few parts but easy.

Mazda!

Just razzing my buddy, we go back and forth a bit .
One of the best cars I've had was a 93 Mazda 323 with a 1.6 Mitsubishi engine and a 5 speed. I thrashed on that thing hard and towed many vehicles with it, the gearing was perfect for the vehicle. I bought and sold 4 or 5 of them and had an awd protege I was hoping to swap the drivetrain out of, but I lost the space I rented for wrenching in so it never happened. At one point I had a red, white, and blue one in the driveway, I thought it was patriotic in a Japanese sort of way, my wife wasn't as excited about it lol.
I don't know if I have any pictures of it, here's one of a similar size Japanese ride I owned from the same vintage(or close), a 95 civic hatchback. Over 8k miles this thing averaged 38.56 MPG, fun little ride with the 5 speed and the 1.5, would have been more fun with a turbo or a b16. But the bikes took care of that itch.

Zoom zoom boom lol, well sort of.
I think you posted some pictures of that in the good morning thread a few yrs ago.
Didn't you have a Camaro with a swap too.

No one checks their oil anymore. All brands use more oil than they should. I think its because of the long oil change intervals the epa pushes. We had an 06 3 and an 08 5. Neither used any oil but i changed the oil every 3000.

But your right. The 2.3 does seem to use oil. Have had many with jumped timing chains due to the tensioners being starved for oil. Especially the turbo one in the speed 6 and the cx7. Any of the fusion 2.3 that came in with low oil where just engine replacement. Too far too long with no oil.

it's funny you say that. First time I bought an oil filter for it they had 2 different ones listed and the bs splash shield has a hole for the filter but it doesn't line up with it
