What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

When the ebrake light is on the dash when you are driving the car disengages the rear differential. It will go back into awd after a period of time or when you come to a stop.

I wonder if you could put it into FWD mode when on the highway to get better gas mileage...
 
So basically, you're saying if you barely leave the ebrake on...it goes into that mode to "save" itself.
But as event stated...can that be driven on the hwy for an extended period of time.

UPDATE:
Paperwork arrived @ the dealership...they had SO much interest in the car, they had to raise the price on the internet to $14991 (got a bit freaked, called & found out I'm good to go, car is parked in the back for me!). They said they have never received so much interest in a used car before (I was thinking to myself while on the phone "Its a WWP Speed6, plus a car they made for only 2 years dude...what do you expect!?). So now, I am just waiting on the checks to arrive @ the dealer & she will *officially* be all mine.

Bonus: 18 more days til my replacements get here & 24 more days til I start deucin' it up....6 months have gone by quick.
 
Had a guy in a neon green lambo park next to me at publix today. As I glanced at his car he complimented my little mazda.
 
got a magnaflow exhaust. and mazdaspeed3 18's. :)

I finally fixed my prosport gauge today after struggling with the power wires for a week or two.. Next mods to do this week will be the foglight mod to run them with the parking lights and the brake light mod to light up all 4 brake lights.
 
developed a studder/ cut out over the last two days and while trying to duplicate it threw a CEL tonight....

its been raining quite hard here, and i've been trying to avoid puddles like the plauge but some are un avoidable... now getting a hesitation/limiter at 5K RPM any suggestions? i'll check the CEL tomorrow when its hopefully not pouring outside
 
Finally installed by MS CAI and Luminics Ultra White high beams.

I installed a metal sheet to protect the filter from water. You cannot see it well in the second picture.

I do not have pictures of the high beams yet. They do match the 6000k lows well and the LED parking lights. Next up is the fogs once I get them. I'm still waiting for my RMM.

JDM-P5, nice post about the coils mod. i got a friend that may have to do this for his MS6 since it also sputters @ WOT.

So guys, i hit the track all this past weekend!!! man for a fat car, it handled suprisingly well. Only one spin-out for me, and it was purely because the back wheels spun out on gravel instead of staying on pavement. oops!

i have more pics soon, but here is a sneak peak:
