Hey guys. I figured I would start a build log for my MS6 I said I wouldn't mod. haha.
Back story of how I bought the car; I bought this MS6 from a friend who owned it for about 6 months, who bought it from the original owner and was completely stock. My friend did some mods to it (has an MS3 as well) but needed something bigger for work so I bought it from him. I sold off my project P5 and now this is my DD. I've always really liked the MS6 but never thought I would be able to find one or afford one. But alas. I bought it with 139k miles for $8200 with the few mods my friend already did.
Motor was pulled with 153k miles on it and was running strong at 20psi of boost on original turbo. But was replaced with a OE 0 mile long block from Mazdaspeed.
Plans for this MS6 do not include a big turbo or more than 300hp. The car is plenty fast in it's current form for me. I plan on working on my driver mod in auto-x/track.
