What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

[Mistersix]

filled mine up twice today... ughh... $120 in fuel....

put just shy of 700km on it today...

Now that you mention it i can't remember the last time i filled her up. 30bucks a week does me fine. Gotta love this cars smiles per miles ratio.

smiles per mile is great... fuel per mile is ******* terrible... i filled it this morning (not totally empty) $60, i drove 520KM doing on average 115km/h revving under 3k rpm, at 520km the tank wasnt empty but certianly didnt have much left in it so i filled it back up since i still had 100+km to go

i cleaned my EGR, threw a code haha, and now i build boost soo much better haha, is there anything else that would help throttle response?

Washed all that crappy salt residue from the last snow fall.

Only to find out it's gonna snow again...this weekend.
FML.

Only if all 4 windows are programmed

no its not that...

sometimes when i walk towards my car after school, i hit the unlock button to roll them down and only one of them will go down. and then i after i start the car it still wont go down and it takes a good 2 mins or so till it will actually let me roll it down. kinda lame.

(reg 6 has two auto windows not 4 like the ms6)

While i think this car gives great gas mileage.(at least mine does). If you cruise 115kmh it sucks it down. Its alot of work for that little four banger to keep this heavy car going. And its about as areodynamic as a brick.

A host of goodies on both sides of the turbo really help throttle response and turbo spool. i.e. intake, TIP, upgraded TMIC, and DP frees up the breathing.

Is there a how-to on cleaning the egr??

 

[04gixx6]

I found one that has a 1st Gen Speed 3. Essentially the same thing, and it worked out just fine for myself. The only difference is I didn't need to take off the throttle body to get the 22mm nut loose for the EGR tube. With an open end crescent you can get it off. http://www.*************.com/showthread.php/7713-How-To-clean-your-1st-Gen-Mazdaspeed-3-EGR
