Just bought my car a couple weeks ago, had a couple LS1's modded pretty hardcore (rockon)....then a stock GT 'Stang.(notcool)

Anyway, I like the car so far. I was originally looking for an Evo, but I couldn't turn down all of the creature comforts this had, I'm very happy with my decision..

Here's the car! Let me know what ya think of it! Only mods so far are a Magnaflow cat-back. Pretty nice setup, appears to be stainless.

sweet car, what kinda ls1 did you come from? WS6 or SS?

the magnaflow should be S.S. you should put those "crappy" wheels and tires up for sale for 800 plus shipping, and i'll call dibs and send you money right away(humpleg)

anyway, love the MS6

and just noticed the MPS badge along with the mazdaspeed6 badge, you should take one or the other off

I had a cammed / bolt on SS and a crate LS6 / turbo / bolt on z28.

And yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the double badging. I'm wanting to lower it because I'm not a fan of the stance it's got now, I'm just worried about lowering it come winter time.

Any experience there?

i couldn't really tell you about the winter experience because they aren't that bad here. but i know their are plenty of people that have used the MS6 in the winter.

the MPS badge is the name they gave the car Europe Australia etc... a lower stance would look sweet, where are you located?

Just east of Indianapolis, IN. Winters can be somewhat harsh here, more than I ever care to deal with that's for sure.

You guys and your fake winters...Calgary, Canada... Right by the rockies, we have winter :P

J/k but aslong as you don't go crazy low you should be fine. An inch - inch and a half should be okay. I'd say my dads Altima SE-R sits that much lower then my speed 6 and he's never had a problem with too much snow.

Oh and I'm really diggin' how your exhaust looks. Still got the bumper cover on but you actually fill the hole. Sick. I'm guessing there's alot of rattle though?

To, also my surprise...there isn't! I'll post some more pics of the exhaust soon maybe a video clip. From what I've read these things respond pretty well to mods. My only thing I dislike is the "jerky" shifting. It's a little different to me than my T56's were.
