That's the reason I chimed in. Don't want to mislead people with something.If it's been verified with Mazda, then let's move forward.

Has anyone looked hard at the mazda corporate website? I was browsing through it yesterday. It looked like they had overall production numbers for the mz6. I didn't look thru the lit they had for the 05/06 years, could have been something hidden in those

Found this section of the Mazda.com website but it doesn't break down the specific cars it produced each month/year.

http://www.mazda.com/publicity/results/

It does tell you how many Atenza (6) were made altogether tho.

hey guys..

i have the plates..

will be filing for AMM status once its etched and i have a proper picture of it, hope to have my file for status out by July 7th.



the plates are 1.25" X 2.75"

this is what i came up with for the etching

Example:

Mazdaspeed 6
#2717 of 11,000 total
Build Date : xx/xx


now i know the 11,000 isnt a confirmed number yet, i just threw it in there for the example.. let me know what you guys think.. feedback is much apprectiated.. again im not selling these till i get AMM status so dont even ask or post about it..

What color are the plates that you got? How thick are they?

 

[boost2dms6]

I think maybe leave off the word total.. Just #xxxxx of 11,000

I work at a sporting goods store and we engrave trophies and stuff all the time.. Extra words that aren't needed make things look bad, but that is just my opinion

WOW, thats exciting news!! Legit confirmation straight from a MAzda rep! woo.
now we can feel extra speshul like our MSP brothers who started the MS heritage.

Thanks for even further confirmation Mistersix!! that is 100% the info me and boosted had concluded. we spent like 2-3 days discussing/investigating and having my DOJ friend research for me. haha.

oh Boosted, mebe also update the OP with what each assembly plant # means in case the rare different few can see where they are built.
(i.e. Hiroshima = 0 / Hofu, Yamaguchi = 1 / Flat Rock, Michigan = 5 (<-- THATS probly non existant!))

great stuff guys, cant wait to see boosted's design ideas for build tags! (yippy)

no he didnt.. me and batou have information coming out on this subject.. Mistersix is right but there are a few technicalitys with it..

Taken from Batou's PM

for general purposes, according to nationally recognized VIN breakdown, the last *6* digits are always the production number, and the single digit before it is the number designating the assembly plant. The "National Insurance Crimes Bureau" (NICB) book that she uses gives a straight breakdown of VIN #'s and she can look up specific car models. She assures me it was specific to the "2006 Mazdaspeed 6". The part of the VIN that is signature of our cars is digit #4-8, "GG12L". this is what allows her to be sure she is looking at the right model.

she went so far as to confirm with a coworker the info.
Via a national DOJ database, they can confirm that Mazda is not one of the manufacturers that uses double digits to designate assembly plant in their VINs. They say very few car manufactures actually do, and their are mostly rare supercars and oversears manufactures not in USA.

Via the NICB book she used, it stats that the single digit: #11, is assembly plant code.
0 = Hiroshima / 1 = Hofu, Yamaguchi / 5 = Flat Rock, Michigan.

sounds like most were built in Hofu in that case. michigan was kind of a random designation as no MS6 is shown to have been produced there...

both my friend and coworker were able to confirm this info via the online DOJ database. So digits #12-17 are in fact the FULL set designated as the "series number". Mind you, the full 6 numbers are a random unique set per car for identification... so that means the last 5 digits of those 6 digits could still be a build number... but we would need factual word of mouth confirmation from Mazda for that.

the build number is confirmed by a mazda rep i spoke with on the phone not too long ago on this situation,he insisted it is called a Build Number ( last 5 digits) and the full PN is 6 digits..i have to change around the first post alot to put in all this new information as of late so bear with me on getting it changed guys..



its good!!

and i also have a contact now to get mazda to come forward on this, i also faxed him over a layout of what everyone was looking to get ( Etched Plates) things of that nature.. so we'll see how this goes..

on a side note i was just about to post this information that Batou figured out with the help of his contact, mistersix beat me to it!!!

 

[ajv915]

^ so do you have any more info as to the total number built or facts on the color breakdown?

 

[batou079]

I can inquire if she is able to find total production #, but i think that info would be hard for her to confirm...
most likely only an official count that is held by Mazda themselves.

As for color breakdown, no. VINs do not carry that information because it is a superficial and changeable option.
This is something that is changed by choice, from damage, from necessity for any car.
So the factory paint designation is only manufacture specific... and is stamped on their cars by manufactures only.
This was as described to me from the DOJ contact.

+1. I like the Mazdaspeed6 but no build date. If I had an actual DAY, maybe, but month and year don't matter much to me. Cool to know though.

 

[BoostedSpd6]

what about the mazda symbol and the word Mazda??

 

[amillman2]

MAZDAspeed6 .. VOILA!! it says mazda lol

 

[batou079]

aye keep it simple and elegant.

like back background, silver text, small red bordering.
then simply "Mazdaspeed 6, Build #XXXX of XXXXX"
some such.

Looking over the data it is interesting that 2006 is the overwhelming majority year submitted by forum members. Of the data I have seen from spread sheet the overwhelming number of cars for sale on AutoTrader or Cars.com is 2007. Weird.
