    Got my rear wiper fluid working properly.... the hose had come off up top and somehow got routed over the pass rear wheel and so any fluid in the tank siphoned itself down through there and right onto the ground. WHAT A PITA to re-route that hose! My lord! Took me all day and I STILL didn't get it fully through the rear upper beam! It's just under the headliner. Works!

    Also took it on it's maiden B6 voyage! Runs great! Can't wait to get exhaust. And it has working A/C..... So amazing.

    Speedo and temp aren't working on the cluster.... Suck. However, I know it's cooling as it should, because the fan kicked on and it was displacing ample heat as it should.

    Does anyone know which sensor feeds the cluster? Bullit or spade? Strange, because I took both sensors off of the B3, and they worked...

    I think most of the splash will come up from the road onto the backlite.
    The only reason I added a spoiler was to cut down on the sun's glare a little.

    Defrost in these cars are almost useless without A/C, so hopefully this antifog stuff will help.
    Good stuff... hopefully that helps a little bit. I wonder what impact a rear spoiler has on this issue... seems like it would keep a bit of rain off, especially when moving forward.

    How hot do y'all's B6's valve covers get? Mine got hot enough to burn skin instantly after only a few minutes of running...? Coolant temp never went up any

    Sounded great, though couldn't hear much of the engine over the exhaust.

    Picked up an '86 B6 w/130K out of a really nice 323 for my blown up car. Also scored a steering wheel from an '82 RX7. It was in such great shape, I got it for $10.....lol. I think I can save it though. I also spotted a car some one here might want to save. It's an '88 Mazda 323 sport, turbo, AWD. It's all there and nice and straight and they have the title. All for $650, I gave $300 for the SOHC B6. The problem is bottom end, spun bearing or something. I'm going to post it in (FS), hope someone saves it. I may get crazy and get it myself.

    An engineering club I belong to at my school helped put new shelves for the machine shop. They were going to trash the old ones, so one professor and I split them. My friend joking asked me if I was going to put it in my tiny little car.

    Then I did.


    Now I have three big metal shelves, with no where to put them. I wonder if my girlfriend would beat me if I put them in the apartment...

    The line from the fuel filter runs straight to the fuel rail. The line from the regulator runs back to the tank.

    I'm willing to bet it'll run if I switch it, but it may also wreck my injectors.

    It's currently fuel filter to top line, to regulator, to injector rail itself, to bottom line to tank. Is that wrong?



    Just swapped in the known good regulator from the B3 and no luck. Does that mean I have a bad pump? It worked before....

    well, its free to find out if they are backwards or not. Worth a shot to swap em.
