    Driver's seat squeak

    Yeah, I changed the seat position too, and that's why I couldn't get the squeak at the dealership. No less than 20 minutes after I left the dealership, I adjusted my seat and the sound returned louder than ever! I am going to keep the seat in position till my next dealer visit. I will report...

    Driver's seat squeak

    I've got the same problem on my 2007 MS6. Of course when I took it to the dealer, the squeak took a day long vacation. The squeak happens every time I accelerate. It is getting worse, so I am taking it in to the dealer soon. I will report back what they find.

    Turbo upgrades Mazdaspeed 6

    The GT2871R seems like a really great street turbo with its quick spool and decent top end. I am curious to hear results for anyone running this turbo. A lot of people are running these turbos on SRT4s, SR20DETs, and Audi A4s with good results.

    Recommended All-season Tires

    I have these tires on as well (Falken ZE-912), and here is my take on them so far. Conditions: Snowing with about 1-2 inch accumulation At low speeds, I noticed that the car slides alot and easily when braking. Also lateral slippage occurs rather easily. You need to be pretty cautious in...

    Enkei GTC-01 18x8 on Mazdaspeed6

    The wheel/tire combo looks great. The hyper black is a great color choice, and that profile pic just made me decide I need a shark fin antenna (sweet)!

    225/45/18 vs 225/40/18?

    If the tread depth is good, then replacing two tires is okay. Judging from reported stock tire life of other members though, you only have about 5k to 10k left on them. The picture in your sig shows a decent amount of snow. I would just replace the stockers with a set of good all-seasons or a...

    in love with my ms6

    Welcome and congrats on your new purchase. I just got mine a week ago (2007 Sport), and am loving it. Although I haven't driven it for about a 4 days, because I am waiting for my all-season to show up. I have owned a few fast cars in the past (last one was an Evo8), and have always modded the...

    Recommended All-season Tires

    If you are looking for a good all-season tire that is very capable in the winter, the best I have used are the Continental ContiExtreme Contact. I used them on my previous car an EVO and on my wife's car (Tiburon). In the snow and slippery conditions, they are amazing. Check Tire Rack and if you...

    Finally took some Pics of the Speed 6!

    Hands down the best looking wheel set up I have seen on this car. They have the perfect offset too. Class and sport perfectly integrated. Great job man (thumb)

    which wheels

    I like #1 the best for this car. The multi-spoke design IMO looks much better with the styling of the MS6. The other two look a little too tuner for this car. The second would be great on an EVO and the last looks more suitable for a hopped up Ford Focus. Check out these wheels. They have a...

    225/45/18 vs 225/40/18?

    Awesome RunningJon! That is exactly what I suspected when I received my tires (225/40). I felt they looked too small for the wheel well and the wheel. I knew it would bug me that I could have .7 in. more of a tire both visually and ride wise. You have given me great relief as I just ordered the...

    225/45/18 vs 225/40/18?

    It is good to know that the 225/45s actually fit. I am sending the 225/40s back. I like the taller sidewall for the road conditions around here. It isn't a big difference, but I will feel more comfortable. Can you guys let me know what tires in the 225/45/18 size you are running?

    225/45/18 vs 225/40/18?

    Thanks for the info (Igve2shtz). What tires are you running? I am sure the 225/40s will fit, I feel the better size for my needs is the 225/45/18. I will most likely send the 225/40/18s back and get the 225/45/18s. I like the added sidewall height and the extra 3/4in. of overall diameter.
