    AudioLink problem

    Have a 2006 Speed6. For the second time, my iPod is no longer available through the Bose system. When toggling through the "modes" (either with the steering wheel buttons, or the headunit buttons), I get AM FM, but no iPod. Through the headunit, I can also get CD, but no iPod. Last time, I...

    Beware

    I've had my MagnaFlow exhaust on for about a year - one of the first systems shipped. I've had no melting problems. The rear fascia shows no deforming problems either. I did have extra hangers welded on to ensure the tips centered up in the rear fascia openings. I'd guess it was poor...

    New Magnaflow Exhaust question

    I've had mine on for 3 weeks now. The shop noticed the wiggle and mounted another hanger from the exit side of the muffler to an unused hole right above it in the unibody, and then tackwelded it to the exit pipe while holding the tip center in the rear fascia. It seems as though the RH side...

    No rear wiper on the MS6????

    The rear wiper is on the Japanese spec MS6 (I'm not sure about Europe), but it's not here. There is no option for it, or a "high" spoiler on the US spec cars. You can find the Japanese spec MS6 at http://www.mazda.jp With enough money, you can do anything you want. I happen to like the...

    Your thoughts on the MSP6 clutch

    I've filled out 3 surveys so far on my MS6, and received a phone call last night wanting more info about my answers/comments regarding the clutch. The caller read quite a few questions engineers had given her about my impressions of the clutch, its operation and other related areas. It's nice...

    Most dissapointing...the MS6! (Long)

    I bought my MS6 because it was understated (great for the highway), fast (enough for my needs), unique, technologically advanced, and roomy enough for my 12 and 14 year olds. I, too, believe it's not marketed for 20 year olds. I'm 48, and my previous 4 cars in the past 8 years: MINI Cooper S...

    2 different final drive ratios??

    1/2/3/4 are on one shaft, 5/6/R on another. Each shaft has different input ratios, accounting for the difference. It's more common than you might think with 5 or 6 speed transmissions.

    Tuning and Warrenty

    Where did you read or hear this? The only time you'll possibly have a problem is at inspection time - it may fail the visual and/or emissions portions of the inspection..

    Spot Cleaning Advise

    Invest in a quality instant/quick detailer and some high end microfiber towels. Wipes are a recipe for disaster.

    MS6 Price

    My contract is written for S-Plan, and I have the Zoom Zoom Live Rebate in hand. Now if it would just get here......

    Got a chance to drive a prototype MS6

    Mike- I assume you drove it at the MPG track day last week? The crusher cars like the one you drove were the previous gearing, and ECU's I'm sure have been tweaked since the crusher cars were built. Linkages have been improved as well. My car should be here next week - I can't wait.

    Mazdaspeed 6 UPDATE + Check pg 5 for detailed PICS!

    MazKid - which dealer? I was by Bommarito South Saturday, they have 2 inbound for 11/4 - both both are Sports instead of Grand Touring. Have a dealer with Grand Touring inbound in white? I really need one.
