ATENZA: Hatch cleaned, Atenza Emblem installed
Has been a while since i did some physical work on any of my cars, but i’m doing a lot of reasarch at the moment and enjoying the short summer. However i felt like it’s time to get some work done today. Started like this: Decided to clean my hatch a bit by removing the “skyactive” and “Mazda 6” Emblems. Used some dental floss to “cut” through the adhesive stuff: And then removed the rest by rubbing it with my fingers and using solvent cleaner. Took me about an hour to complete the job 🙂 Then installed the JDM “Atenza” emblem at the exactly same position: And this is how…

OTHER: The Cars of Sweden & My first Mantorp Park experience
Since i have a lot of family, friends and relatives in sweden it’s kind of a tradition for me to go there at least every second year to visit all of them. It’s also tradition to go there by car. While it’s not the most confortable way it’s definetely the most fun way to get there. On the way to my final destination around VästerÃ¥s in Västmanland, i like to stop once or twice at a camping place (usually at a place i haven’t been before) to explore new places. Well and since we made 4500km’s in two weeks i thought the mazda would be the best choice of car…
