Own a Mazda MX-6? Post Your Pics!

That looks like a very fun project!

Couple of questions...why ditch the straight neck for a curve neck? Why supercharger instead of turbo, you will make more power on the same boost level with a turbocharger...

Third...Rims...Meh, sell them and get something better....unless you go with a gooood black, then they'll look good

Nice to see you and your hott blackness gracing this thread

Yours is another one of those MX6's that I can't help but imagine sitting next to mine...they would compliment each other very very nicely

1. Straight neck improves high end HP which our cars already have alot of... and the curve neck improves Low end torque lol which our cars need...

2. Im not down for turbos... and there arent very many SC mx6s... and the whine of that SC is my style...

3. Chrome isnt my style BUT i actually love these they look alot better in person...

Agreed, however the KL is not a motor built for low end torque, regardless of intake manifold, source of boost, or when you hit the spray on the nitrous, the nature of the short stroke KL, head design and cams are going to give you a motor that makes power and torque above 4k rpm, and not a whole lot below. In the end, I think you'll find that whatever you do, you'll have peak torque around 4500rpm and peak hp around 6000 rpm +/- 300rpm.

Ok, that's cool

Sounds good

What SC are you using again?

Is it any reason why all you guys have the LS instead of the RS 4cyl? I want to buy a mx6 but the 4cyl one, why? well since it has the better MPG than most of the mazdas i can afford and cuz of its look.

Of course that i'm going to do some basic bolts on and hand work to make it look nice and shiny!

Is the RS "fast enough" to beat some of those ricer hondas that we all see on the streets?

Any suggestions or opinions will be appreciated! (thumb)

Thx!

generally, LS's are more prized because there's a better aftermarket support for them. I do believe that the FS motors that came with the RS's are not compatible with a lot of protege parts. I've never driven an RS but from the impression i get from most people at MX6 land, it's not too fast in a straight line. With a little suspension work, im sure u can outhandle many hondas out there.

I think the only reason the LS is so prized is do tot he fact you can do the ZE swap.

and of coarse you can do a FSZE swap but they are pretty rare, I think I know of 2-3.. . . (encourage)

the LS has very ample and smooth power, its described as an ingenious design and way ahead of its time in the car and driver mag i have from 93.

Thx for the replies, the problem of the RS is that it only has 118 hp when it weights +2600, while a stock 1.6 miata has the same HP and weights only 2250 pounds. Not mentioning its ability to raise revs like crazy cuz' of its gearbox and differential (braindead

Well, only just found this thread... and you can't have an MX6 thread without one of the most well known MX6's in the UK. Probably because it's owned by me... the owner of the UK MX6 owners club.

So here's the latest ones taken just before xmas for my insurance valuation.

Mazdaspeed pedals and shift knob, with custom made gear boot gaitor.

She'll look even better with a respray in metallic black.

Still gotta fit this stuff, along with oil catch tank, silicone hoses and lots of other engine bay bling.

This weekend I'll be taking some pictures of my Silver jspec with any luck.
