    Received my quickjack and it fits perfectly under the car and the girlfriend's car. Had an issue where the ground wire in the little control box came disconnected thus leaving my car in the air. Oooooops! Double check all the things if you buy an openbox one.

    Carwash. I need to do a solid clay-barring, wax, and polish. It's been too long. Also need to fine-tune my bumper latch pins a tad more, since I have Skyactiv blue-halo headlights on now :D

    Got my car back together and it's running better than ever before! Until I start smelling coolant. Less than 4 months and the cap on tb coolant line feed was dry rotted and spraying coolant all over the engine bay.

    Also took off my exhaust on the titan... about to put in new catback and there's a hole in the new muffler. Pretty damn loud without a muffler.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Learned today that Corksport exhaust hangers are just about impossible to install with my exhaust on the car, due to Mazda's fucking brilliant twist-in design. Managed to get one of the four, and the other posts are in the way to the point that I am physically blocked from twisting the hangers into the chassis. So aggravated right now.

    Installed an Eonon 7163 with dash and backup cameras. I'm pretty sure I removed every interior trim piece in my car. The Android and cameras are sweet, but the noise floor and sound quality are shit. If I had a quiet car, I would be pulling it back out. I also forgot to pull the bluetooth module so my phone keeps trying to connect to the car, but I can use the forum in the car now.[​IMG]

    Hang them first and spray some grease on the bungs and in the holes (giggity). You'll have to move the exhaust to the side while you hang them and then work them through the holes back and forth. The one in the middle near the back where the bend is I just kept stock as that one is a fucktard.

    I had the Damond PMM installed today. Now, only my TMM is OEM. The DM mount actually quieted the mild NVH increase that I experienced with only the CS Stage 2 RMM. I am a very happy Padre!

    Unfortunately, with my custom CBE, I'm not really able to move the exhaust far enough to allow the required clearance to twist the new hangers into the chassis. The stock ones are narrower and flex enough that I can mash them to remove (and inevitably reinstall when I fail at getting the new ones in), but the features of the CS hangers that make them so superior also mean that you need a larger radius of free space in order to be able to spin them in, and the posts on the exhaust inhabit the required area. If Mazda had simply used entirely post style hangers, as I believe they did on second gens, then this wouldn't be an issue at all.

    The one I did manage to get in is the very farthest rearward, which had barely enough clearance to twist into place in the chassis before inserting (lol) the exhaust-side post. Luckily, it seems as if maybe that was all that was needed to eliminate my exhaust rattle so, unless it rears it's annoying head again, I may not even worry about trying a second time to get the rest of them in.

    You guys are making me want to get the PMM. I've got the CPE 2 stage rear and a Damond TMM already.

    Just do that shit, my Damond side mounts, CPE stage two rear combo is perfect. Motor is locked in, and I daily the car and the vibe and noise level is totally acceptable.

    I'm an SQ guy myself, that's why I went with a conventional double-din with lots of sound shaping ability, high voltage pre-outs, good S/N, etc. Sounds like I made the right choice to go conventional instead of Eonon? They don't even mention a lot of the specs I'm interested in on their website for the unit.

    Yeah, the SQ is really pretty bad, but acceptable to me for a fully mounted car with a pretty loud exhaust. I am very into SQ in a good home two channel or theater system, but never cared much in the car. A car is a terrible space acoustically and is dealing with tons of noise, so you are never going to appreciate the kind of subtle details you can achieve with proper equipment.

    That being said, I understand the quest for SQ, before my last kid was born, when I had space for a dedicated listening room, my two channel system had about twice the value of my car invested in it. Now that I'm space limited, I have put together a decent headphone rig for when I want to seriously listen to music. In the car it's just background noise.

    Not today, but last Saturday was state inspection time for my car. I had the inspection done at the Mazda dealership. It passed, no issues even with racepipe (though it does have a high flow cat). I got free snacks and a car wash as well.
