UPDATE WITH PICS!!! 2000 Mazda 626 LX V6 5-speed MT
Re: UPDATE WITH PICS!!! 2000 Mazda 626 LX V6 5-speed MT
Nice Car Man. I had an MX-6, same engine as your car. Although the gear ratio's are different, I'm sure. Power wise, it's great, but eventually it won't be enough! The Only problem with the MX6 and 626 are the Hand Brakes. If it get's ass cold there, don't yank it all the way, and try to avoid using it if you can. Park in gear with a chock or something. I parked mine outside, unknown to me were the handbrake issues...My brakes locked and it cost $$$ to fix it. Unless you know how to do it yourself. I know how but I don't have a jack or lift or anything, so whatever. Other than that, enjoy the shifting!

he might mean what i've done in the past which is to wash it good at the car wash and then get it home and wax it. the risk is that it might get a little dirty on the way home before you wax it. nothing a quick rinse can't fix.

no i meant go to the car wash lol
my friends parents own it, so he will give me a free wash with the works
lol
yes it does get cold here, i have the handbrake on in the pics because its on a hill and i have it in R
when its on a level surface or nearly level its usually 50/50 chance of leaving it in gear or handbrake... it just depends on what i feel like doing. i dont yarn on the brake either, so that should help
