    MS6 Build Number Thread

    With the US population at just under 310 million and Canada at about 34.2 million, you'll probably find the US has closer to 10,000 of 11,000, if not more. If my earlier quoted figure of 700 for UK is correct with a population of 62 million, Canada may only be 500 or less. I would expect the...

    MS6 Build Number Thread

    I think it's safe to say there are going to be a few differences Speed/MPS. Our models are not the same. There is only one MPS version sold in the UK. Our model is only 256BHP, although the engine is the same, I believe the difference is solely ECU controlled. Damn, I need a remap. We also...

    Sorry for the delay posting, I got the PM about this thread just before work and didn't have to post until I got home. It's safe to say mine doesn't follow the trend. 2006 Black Mica 32907 06/2006

    Deep Lip Rims?

    Mine have a reasonable size lip on them with ET45. The are 19x8", but they are available in 18" with the same offset. They are Lenso S73, black gloss with polished rim. When I had 215/35x19's on they didn't rub at all with no fender rolling and running H&R springs. Having just switched to...

    Wheel Size Help

    If the offest is between 45-55mm they should work with 225-235mm tyres with some fender rolling. If the offset is outside that range or you want 245s, you may need to pull or flare the arches a bit. Personally, having fit 19s on mine I would recommend 18s, unless you have very good road...

    potholes cause me to want to stiffen my car!

    From my experience, stiffening will cause more problems with potholes. My setup is 215/35x19 with H&R springs and the low profile combined with stiffer springs results in easier wheel damage, alignment being knocked out and possible damage to various parts of the suspension setup, not to...

    Alignment/Tracking

    With the current 215/35's on an 8" rim with 45 offset, the is no rubbing and no need to roll fenders, but the <3" sidewall is no good for the roads here. The low sidewall and drop on H&R springs makes the car so rigid that you feel every little bump. I think this is part of the problem. Where...

    Alignment/Tracking

    I have just bought some 235/35x19 tyres to replace my existing 215/35's and asked my local garage to check the alignment/tracking, because the current tyres are showing an uneven wear pattern. The guy at the garage said, he would need to have figures to set everything to, because the change of...

    Tire Reviews - Post your experience

    Falken FK-452 Pro's - Good handling after a fairly long run in period, maybe 200-300 miles. Reasonable performance in wet and snow and competitively priced. Con's - Pityful tread life. I have had these tires for 5,000 miles and they are totally worn out, as well as having lumps and flat...

    Mazda Paint Sucks

    My black mica is the same. Mainly the front end, which always looks like I've been driving in snow, but there are some scratches on the rear too. The paint is quite soft and stupidly thin, many of my scratches have gone through to metal and I'm tempted to get the whole car vinyl wrapped, only...

    spoiler

    And there was me thinking that the reason people buy an MS6 rather than an Evo is because they don't want that s*** on their car.

    New car

    Is it even possible to get STi's and EVO's to 600whp. The main reason they have more power than the MS6 in the first place is because they come with big turbo's, which would surely mean less room for further power increases. You would have to change so much to make an MS6 get to 600whp that...

    2007 Speed 6 rust

    My bonnet is absolutely covered in stone chips, it almost looks like snow it's so bad. Shows up really well on black too. Unfortunately Mazda use really thin paint coats, so no matter how many touch ups you do, you will continue to get more stone chips relatively quickly. I just make sure...

    Hmmm...I didn't know the speed6 can break 150.
