Hey /o/
What are the next repairs you're going to do with your car ? What's the budget you are allowing ?
as for me :
-clutch this weekend (will be a bitch, i don't have a lift nor a hole, or even a garage)
-Whole PCV system as I noticed pressure in my cranckcase
-Braking system overhaul (discs+brakes) in a few weeks.
Total budget : around 200€ for new parts / NOS parts. (car was bought for 150€ a year 1/2 ago)
Pic related or no?
Planning on upgrading stock swaybar to mazdaspeed version when I am able

>>16715005
Pic very related, yes
which mazda ?
>>16715012
Thanks m8
>>16715017
Looks nice (for €150)
It's a 2006 mazda3 sedan I recently purchased, $6000 but that's Australian dollarydoos, so closer to 4500 freedom bucks

Hey eurobro, any chance you could get me a redblock m90 transmission? My AW71 is shitting out and the m90 never made it to the US
>>16715056
Not OP, but I do have a Brick with M90.
How much are you willing to pay? In my country they sell for 250-300 euro and then its still on this side of the water.
>>16715068
that's pretty cheap desu, I imagine shipping will be hell though
>>16715068

Fuck,
Cut the first link out.

Marktplaats means Marketplace and is our craigslist I guess.
>>16715099
>>16715117
shipping would be about 1000 USD so transmission plus tax stuff on my side would total aprox $2000...
Might need to save a bit more. Maybe take a trip to Netherlands, a Dutch girl I dated in HS said it was great, especially outside of Amsterdam tourist trap.
Thank you for all the info though, I think I might actually be able to do this. eventually
>>16715139
Its a great and comfy gearbox. Go for it of you can. The Netherlands is nice outsidr of the big cities, but oh so flat and crowded.. we do have Nice areas and villages though.
>new tires
Mine are trashed and need new ones for inspection coming up
>Contour upgraded thermostat housing
The gasket on the thermostat housing picked up oil from the valve cover leaking a bit and swelled the ring causing the housing to rupture. Fun fun.
Will also be an oil change coming up, possibly rotors and pads to follow. Maybe also new bearings up front.
>>16714996
Replacing the gear lever on my motorbike today. I think I finally have the right socket for the bolts, now.
For my car, it goes in for new tires tomorrow.
>>16715017
I like the lights senpai
>>16714996
Getting front end body work done in 2 weeks because some stupid bitch couldn't wait until she's out of her car/major intersection to text.
>>16714996
volvo shit today,
painting the rocker panels. butt cheeks and window trim with satin black, maybe finish the fuel system
>>16714996
How does one do the pcv on one of these? It seems completely inaccessible, at least on the turbo model:
>Intake manifold covering it from the top
>Starter covering it from the bottom
>EGR in the way coming from the front of the the engine bay
Is the only way to pull either the intake or the starter?
>>16716290
Driven off any cliffs lately?
>>16716369
nope, mostly been off roading lately since I got my truck running, not so much on road
>new tires
>replace transmission fluid (M/T)
>cabin filter
Pretty much it. My car never breaks down
>>16716067
Update: I fixed it! I actually fixed something!
Rear brake overhaul, drums and shoes (yes, drums).
Renew all interior lightbulbs. (Half the dashboard has gone dark)
Fix the metal "heat" plate above the exhaust, it's rusted partially off and the rattling it makes is making me crazy.
Replacement parts already bought, came up to a total of 49,75€. Tools I borrow during the afterhours at work.
>>16716399
Any particular reason for you to replace tranny-fluid?
>>16715039
Neat
>>16715327
Nice planning
>>16716076
We're bricks pals now I guess
>>16716363
That's it.
I should have done it while replacing the headgasket, when all the shit was out, but I had no idea back then...
I'll simply pull the starter
>>16716688
Maintenance minder says so and I have high mileage
>>16716399

Got a 531 header to put on my b200ft this summer, and maybe an A cam or a VX. Still haven't figured out what would give me the widest power band as opposed to the T cam I have in it now. I'm also putting in a newer compressor for the a/c since the old one died. There's some other things I'm doing, too, if I have the time.
