im still crossing my fingers for the speed8...

Cheers! 03-24-2007 08:17 PM

I'm jealous!



I like how the RP01/RP02s look on that car. Very clean!



I wnat one. I'm sick of my damned subaru. Right now I suspect I have a sticking driver side front caliper. Both the inner and outer pads for the driver front corner has nothing left. The passegner side has lots of material left.

nice^^ ohh and amp thank god u didnt the ugly ass looking rims on it i like these

Cheers! 03-25-2007 06:29 PM

I took these pics at the Toronto Auto Show.



Supposedly it has the Mazda6 V6 lower springs made by Eibach. THe mazdaspeed Wheels, and the mazdaspeed cold air intake. I like it.



Made me think twice about this car. At first I thought it was too high up and the wheels too ugly. Brembo also released their brake kit for this car just recently.



I took the pics with my cell phone. I hate cell phone cameras, but I didn't bring my digital cam with me, I didn't think I was going to take any pics. I wasn't in the market for a car.

jwteknix 03-25-2007 06:33 PM

nah those arent the wheels i was talking about those are nice

TYSON 03-25-2007 07:35 PM

Get the Mazdaspeed adjustable coilovers! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

Cheers! 03-25-2007 09:04 PM

The stock mazdaspeed6 shocks are already uprated compared to the normal mazda. Just put the springs on. It will be fine.



The Japan version, Mazda Altenza uses Bilsteins

sa22see 05-27-2007 11:07 AM

Nice 6 I really like them but I need to know something?

Can the Mazdaspeed 6 beat an FD?? I have a friend that owns ones and he always tells me that no R power car from factory can take him.

Any how Congrats on that Mazdaspeed.

only on the quarter.. stock for stock...

theyve just recently broke into the 12s with bolt ons.

Erik 06-03-2007 05:56 PM

Congrats on the new ride...



Love the fact you left off the front plate...



That is a necessity!

easier platform to start with given shes already boosted..

im averaging 20mpg as well.. boosted.. heavy traffic.. highway etc..

rfreeman27 06-13-2007 04:42 PM

ive been getting bout 25mpg if i dont drive like an ******* in my speed3 (Same engine)



I also put a racepipe on the car (midpipe) and the car spools faster and has a little more top end without much difference in noise. Sweet mod for 20 bucks (got it for the cost of gaskets and hardware from a friend at turboXS https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR)



Mabye a catless DP and intake later on? i am not sure if i wanna mod the car much, but ive got the bug...Needs lowering springs and wheels https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

amp 06-14-2007 06:56 AM

averaged 23mpg the last tank.. im assumin it will just get better once ive fully broken her in...

im probably gonna run an intake and exhaust up until the warranty runs out... already installed the short shift kit and adjusted the clutch... huge difference

Rob x-7 06-14-2007 11:55 AM

Ive got a local Mitsui dealer dying for me to take a Evo off thier hands, thinking about test driving it and seeing how I like it.

When the new body style comes out they are going to be sitting on some older styles and giving them away

amp 06-14-2007 12:27 PM

theyre quick and has a huge potential given its aftermarket support..

id have picked one up werent for the image and price tag it holds.. wouldve never thought you would even consider one rob..

Rob x-7 06-14-2007 05:33 PM

honestly there are none by me to portray an image.



Im not a huge fan, but at greatly discounted price tags I might think about one.



I might even think about the MS6, but after driving the same body style for the last 4 years I cant justify it and I hate my local dealer service department.



I really want to check out the new camaros or challengers, but they are not out yet, so in the end I may end up giving my car back and waiting to see what comes out in 08, who knows?

TYSON 06-15-2007 01:33 AM

They're supposed to make 30 or so Challengers this month. You'll be waiting a while, full production doesn't start for months.

Rob x-7 06-15-2007 07:31 AM

its not like I NEED another car, more like sorta want something different
