UOAs and DriveCycles added

9/11/2018

 
I've added the Used Oil Analysis page, along with a submission page that embeds a Google Form to enter UOA sheets. Currently the repository is empty, but I will be adding the historical information from RX8Club over time. Anyone interested in assisting with this get in touch with me before you just start adding old content to ensure we aren't duplicating work.

I've also added the DriveCycle details for USDM ECUs, but it is going to be membership access only, so nothing visible yet.

Recalls Updated

8/31/2018

 
The old site only listed a few recalls, defined by what had been located in Mazda documentation. The recall section has been fleshed out significantly with updated and correct information, pulled directly from NHTSA's website, including a wide range of relevant PDFs.

Mazda documentation still has to be added, though there is precious little available.

TSBs Broke During the Move

8/28/2018

 
I have realized that the TSB files did not get moved properly in the migration, and are currently broken. I am working on getting them fixed and updated properly.

Hosting Service Moved

8/21/2018

 
It has been quite some time since I have made any site changes, and there is much that still needs to be done. Several of the top important items on my To-Do list necessitated a change of hosts. Site updates should be more frequent and far easier for me now, and some special items are in the pipeline to get done in the near future. Stay tuned!
