    GAUGING INTEREST - New Rear Diff FRONT Mount

    I have been talking to a rep from a reputable motorsports company that may produce a quality rear differential front mount for the MS6. They already produce a very good rear diff top mount, and believe that their front mount would be about two-thirds the price of any available products...

    Cooling Fan Control Module Shot - $600+!!!

    For those that followed the FAIL of my attempted climb up Pikes Peak, when my car overheated because the cooling fans wouldn't come on, here's the resolution. Well...the diagnosis. The dealership had to spend an hour plus time on the phone to determine it's the fan control module. THat's...

    MS6 Cooling Fan Unit

    Anyone know if the MS6 uses the same dual-fan cooling unit as the regular 6i or 6s? Just preparing myself in case I have to replace the whole thing. ...

    The CX-9 Is Gone

    Well, we loved the CX-9. It was a great truck, but the payments were way high, and we wanted to drop them about $150 a month. So today we traded it on a 2010 Fusion Sport. 3.5L, 6Spd ATX, Sync, Leather, Sirius, Fogs, 6-year bumper-to-bumper, auto-dimming mirror. FWD. Great car, and my wife...

    Pitch Angle

    OK, if I ask this on enough forums, I might find an answer lol. Does anyone know the pitch angle for the MS6 with stock suspension? I have to enter that into an accelerometer I'm using to get performance info. I have the drag coefficient (.31), but I need pitch angle. The device defaults to...

    the GOOD Box

    This is pretty amazing. Dude from the RX-8 club engineered and built a box that routes Boost, EGR, AFR, etc readings (15 total, I believe) to the LCD display above the head unit. You can display two at a time if I understand this correctly. He's considering building and selling them, which I...

    Color for Calipers?

    OK, so I'm thinking about painting my calipers, but I'm struggling with what color would look best with a Black Cherry Mica MS6 on stock wheels. I'm leaning toward gold, though someone suggested orange or blue. Ideas?

    Open Source Tuning?

    I was asked a question today that I didn't know the answer to. A subie friend of mine asked if there were open source tuning solutions for the MS6/MS3. I don't THINK There are, but does anyone know for sure?

    "Slip" In Second Gear?

    So I've started to notice a "slip" in my car when under load. Usually happens when I'm accelerating hard to merge or pass someone, but I'll get through first gear all right, shift to second, and then I'll feel a very slight "slip" in the rear wheels. A rear-right, I think. Feels like the right...

    Mazda 6 High-Speed Chase

    Anyone just watch that on the new? Down in FloFlo. Dude in a rented 2009/10 6 at speeds up to 130 mph. Finally ended with the car doing a pinball act off the guardrails. Did well for awhile...but put a LOT of people in danger.

    Dumb Question

    I was asked the other day what size the Fuel Injectors are on the 2006 MS6. I had no idea. Research only uncovered that they're special-made by Mitsubishi Electric. Anyone know the size?

    For Those With the Front-End "CLICKING" Issue...

    OK, if you're having the issue where you get a "CLICK-CLICK" after putting it in FWD or REV and moving a little, here's what our dealer did to our CX-9 to fix it: This WORKED. At least for the time being. This repair was made in mid-July, and thus far we remain "click-free," so I'm pretty...

    Putting a Speed6 on a Diet

    OK, so we all know that our cars are a little...uh....portly for performance sedans. 3600 pounds for a 274-hp car isn't that great, especially when Evos and STi's weigh in at 400-500 pounds (or so) less. Obviously, getting our cars down to 3100 pounds just isn't going to happen, but there has...

    CX-9 Skid Pad Question

    OK, so my son is taking Master Drive's course this weekend, driving our 2005 Grand Cherokee. But they can't let him do the skid pad because it requires e-braking and since the Jeep can't come out of 4WD, they said it would damage the tranny to e-brake on the skid pad. They don't show the CX-9...

    Brake Time? I Think So...

    Hey, all. I've been getting a squeak-squeak-squeak, high-pitched and not only when braking, from my front end for a week or so now. Been told it's probably brake pads at the wear indicators, so I took the wheels off and looked at the pads. I think they're probably shot. Here are the pics...

    Ridiculous

    CX-9 Out of Commission AGAIN

    This is getting REALLY, REALLY old. We've had a "click-click" in the front end for a few weeks now. Put it in drive, and as soon as we move, "click-click." Same thing in reverse. Just two clicks. Nothing more. According to mazdas47.com, it's likely the splines, so we were planning on taking it...

    Question on Engine Fan

    OK, so we've been having an issue with the CX-9 -- it's a new issue, only started about a month ago -- where the engine fan comes on or stays on right after the car is shut off. 20-30 seconds or so, then it shuts down. We took it in when it first came up, and the dealer changed out a relay...

    USB Adapter for Bose?

    Hey, all. Forgive my complete lack of knowledge on things audio-related, but I have a question. My Jeep has an Alpine stereo in it that has a plug-in for a USB drive. Just plug in a drive and it reads the music off it. Doesn't even have to be an MP3 player. I really like it, as I can just...
