PS that isn't Greddy SSQV it's an HKS SSQV. And you should run it recirc just because your car will run better, but i'm sure you know that already.

^ Yeah...I'm retarded...I don't know why I wrote that...It is an HKS bov! lol.
As for the recirc/vta issue...I don't have any problems, the car runs strong. For the time being, I'll leave it as is.

...do it anyway. **EDIT**read your PM...replied there...


This was last summer...& even in stock form, the Mazdaspeed6 is well liked by enthusiasts everywhere:

The hardware (2nd place - Stock Import):

I wonder what will happen this year, since I'll be in Modified Import??


Refreshed the stock braces (mine were pretty scratched & discolored)...rustoleum primer/gloss black/clear:

For those wondering where the Audiolink is located:

Also installed an RX-8 shift knob 2 days ago.
Pros: Direct swap, very sexy looking, unique, feels like a better shift to me. Cons: The gear layout is backwards lol.
(pic soon)

Yeah, they are set at 1/2 right now. The new wheels get installed on the 1st...I don't like the raked look believe me. But why do double work? Down now, just to wrench it back up and the down again? No thanks lol.

Its hooked up to the rear of the stock radio. It is controlled through the stock radio buttons, the steering controls work too.
I have the USB version & now that I have an iphone4...I wish I had bought the ipohone/ipod one instead lol.
