if u go thru any high pressurse car wash any sunroof will leak. but yeah all the tranfercases leak we were replacing the seals but that wasnt fixing the problem so they paid us to R&R transfercases theres also a problem w/ the diffs they replace those too so speedsixs get free diffs, tranfercases, and turbos. oh they also have problems w/ there keyless antenas under the rear bumper

went through only one tank from south joisee to raleigh.... 31mpg.. range of 60-85mph with ac and occassional boost..

cobb now makes accessport for her.. with a gas conservation flash that yields higher.. im just interested in the the stage one flash... an additional 60ft lbs of torque...

hey amp. will prolly go take a look at a speed6 this week. what are your thoughts on, now that youved had it for a while.

james/kev, anything i should be aware of?

thanks



its either a preowned speed6 or a 40th rx8...(but that will prolly change in a week or so)

havent had any issues other than the turbo leaks... of which mazda now recognizes as an issue.. so as long as you can produce oil change history.. youll be able to get her fixed under warranty...

turbo issues are consistent with owners opening up the exhaust... pay to play.. if you want torque and a five seater that yields a high mpg.. id go with the speed6 over the eight..

generating additional powa is also easier on this platform than the eight..

stage one cobb for a stock vehicle provides you with a platform to go above the 300bhp and 300ft lbs marker for only seven franklins..

went to see a white 06 sport w/ navi today. its really nice in white. 29k miles. a few things i wasnt crazy bout but they took 2k off asking price. so after all was said and done it was bout 21800.

-front bumper had a rip. supposedly when being taken off the trailer it got caught on something. when id get the plates in theyd call someone in to glue it?!?!?!. as opposed to having a new bumper which is what they told me when i first asked about it

-chrome was missing off one tail pipe

-driver side p/w switch didnt work

-center button missing on navi remote

-friend was saying that it sounded like it needed a bearing in drivers side rear

im surprised by that list of things. my 06 3 is still perfect. Unless they write down that theyll fix or warranty those parts i wouldnt go for it. They need to keep the 2k off when they do it to.

its a memory setting that most likely wasnt done properly..

amp

opened her up for an oil change this mornin...

disappointed in what ive found.. looks like another trip to the dealership..

amp

added a front lip this afternoon... check out the NO clearance..

a trans leak? thats rare. those diffs leak all the time until the new seals get put in, surprised you havent had that issue yet. just had a kid in who needed front and rear diffs replaced, then came back a week later with sheared rear diff mount bolts...some people really thrash these cars.
