Hey everyone! I currently own a 03 Mazda 6s. Been working the past 2 months on rebuilding my motor as well. Oil pan gasket blew on me when i was on the interstate and ended up bending a few piston rods. Ended up replacing the crankshaft, piston rods and valves/valve springs. Running into 1 problem though, there is a power connector on the engine harness next to the radiator that i have no clue where it plugs in. Its next to the one for the hood latch. Anyone have any idea or a picture of where it goes?

Planning on removing the door guards now that i have seen a few people do it and it looks amazing. Also just purchased a body kit for it that i still need to paint when i find the time

Very nice. Welcome to the forum!

Yeah, I think that classifies as a "blown engine" lol, that's terrible.

FYI too, you can upload a bunch of images to the same post, so you don't have to keep making new ones. Either by providing the URL, or going into the "Post Reply" area instead of just "Quick Reply." At the bottom of "Post Reply" (or if you Quote someone) - it will have the option to upload a bunch of images that will appear as thumbnails until you click them

Cheers.

I couldn't find what you were describing, nice 6, the wheels are a little too small for my taste, they leave a large gap... then again I'm used to slammed cars here

I found where it connects to, finally!!! Installing the last piece today (broke my serpentine belt tensioner when trying to install the belt last night. If this ever happens again, i think im just going to shove out the money for the dealership to do the work. 10 months of blood, sweat, tears, and many nights sleeping in the backseat because i was too tired to go inside from my garage.

welcome. Always cool to see another speed yellow.

please avoid using the body kits.... the car is so rare it would be a crime. If you do I could use your stock bumper
