Sub install getting there.

Box = 100% Done.

Detail work = 90% done.

Wire it all up this coming weekend hopefully.

A flippa nurse rocked up at my gaff this afternoon in one of these 3 skyactivs. Never seen one before but it looked well nice. Gorgeous deep red metallic paint-job. She had gone for a lo-profile 18 inch black rim-job (fnaar!). Looked very good. I even got to drive it a little bit. I got stuck because I have never used a keyless 'start' button before. Massive built in pop-up dashboard GPS.

Got any pics with the black rims ?

Am changing mine but still deciding on colour.

My screen is a decent size but unfortunately it is in a fixed position, would be awesome if it folded flat when you turn the car off.

I did not get a picture. It was saloon, not hatch, and same colour as this (from the net). Wheels looked like this too but hers looked bigger. These look like 17s.

I just assumed it was pop-up due to the size. Maybe it was fixed.

nope, they're fixed. i bought one about 3 weeks ago.

the only thing i don't like about the car is on the screen, it's got a "mecca finder".

imagine the upoar if a mozzie bought a car with a "vatican finder" on it? they would burn down the dealership.

mine is red like this one, looking for black rims with red hi-lites.

They seem to making the most of the relationship with Ford. Not quite sure how it works but the mazda designers are top notch.
Recall watching a Top gear episode with Clarkson singing the praises of the new Mazda 6.

The Ford/Mazda thing is pretty dead in the water bar some minor collaboration on the Ranger/BT-50 (the whole T6 platform was designed by Ford with Mazda doing their own cosmetic and drivetrain calibration stuff).

Big styling improvement from the retarded moron grinning face of the 2nd generation.

Al you need now is a red beam on the front of that kit and a smartwatch

That was a trail fit Dillenger. Our dealerships (Mazda City) hold the import rights (into Thailand) for Knightsports Japan.

That bar is not will not remain on my car as a permanent feature.

fondles,
can't remember where, but easy to find.
I'm offshore india for another 33 days. (sigh)

if I remember, I will post then if'n you haven't found it.
maybe you're lucky and yours doesn't have it.

my daytime lights will stay on, thankyou. that's too fucking hard!


overall, a pretty nice car though....fun to drive.

I would think if your's has the mecca direction mine would too.

Don't try to disable it as that is considered an act of apostasy and activates the James Bond exploding ejector seat through the sun roof!

agree.

if you fiddle with it long enough, you will find it if it's there.

not as complicated as turning off the daytime running lights!
