The other was also a Black Mica, parked in Riverview FL, near US301 and Gibsonton Drive. and the other was a Titanium / Silver MS6 driving South on...

    How To: Get more bass from factory Bose sub

    I would be very careful about the gauge of wire you use. the original wire going into the unit is fairly descent size and then you're going to send it through a smaller gauge. I would expect those smaller gauge wires to heat up a bit. if the gauge is too small they could end up like fuses and...

    Second/Next Choice after the MS6

    that Pontiac G8 on the website is actually the Vauxhall Vectra VXR in the UK. looks ok but I wouldn't buy a Pontiac. I was almost settling on getting a Graphite Grey Evo 9 MR being as they didn't have the MR in black. That was the only way I could have got the 6 speed gear box and the BBS rims...

    exhaust tip fix idea w/pics. and updates

    I too like the stock look of the rear bumper / diffuser, I wish more manufacturers of the exhaust systems for the Speed 6 would have the actual tip of the Rear muffler Eliptical to match the contours of the Rear bumper. That is the only thing I don't like about the tips now is the fact that you...

    Bov Question

    I agree Since I put on the MS intake I am happy with the way it sounds even the wife likes it better and she was the one that really wanted the BOV / Recirc. Although I do like the sound of the Squirrel mincer that was on the Prodrive P2 What brand is that? and is that valve flutter that you hear?

    Wow Worst Case Of bad Luck!!

    I'm very impressed with the Bridgestone tires in the wet, I'll definitely get some more of them. I live in Florida and was concerned with the summer only tires in the wet, and it even clearly stated it on the window sticker when I bought my car and I have had it a year now. if you get snow...

    So far so good. After the reset, things seem to be going smooth. I'm still not sure what caused it, but I'm glad it hasn't come back.

    MS6 owners... question.

    Yes, it gets easier!! I had a tough time in the begining, going from an automatic to the stick was rough! It took me a couple of weeks, but now I'm really good at it! I'm just really thankful for the traction control, otherwise, I could have really embarrassed myself in the beginning.!

    Installing MS6 CAI -Help!!

    Yes, it's the Mazdaspeed CAI. I've done all the checking and rechecking of placement and made sure the filter is pushed all the way in. I've gotten it to where it just barely touches the coil so that's gonna have to do. I just didn't know if that thing got hot, or should I say, hot enough to...

    Installing MS6 CAI -Help!!

    I'm almost done installing the CAI for the Mazdaspeed6. The problem is the air filter is resting on the cooling coil in the wheel well. Does anyone know if this is going to cause a problem, or what that little coil is?
