Another new MS6 owner...boost is addicting !

Hi all,

Picked up a gray speed6 this past weekend..traded in my IS300 for it.

Loved the IS300, but lack of interior space and a proper trunk, kinda turned me towards a bigger car...housemate's mazda 6 convinced me in terms of interior space...the IS is a great car to me, but have to let it go...

Now that i found the speed6...back to manual again but it's fun ! Still adjusting to the clutch....having a hard time getting the proper balance..it's only 3 days though

This forums has tons of info, and the search button is my best friend !

Grats, there is a clutch adjustment thread that when done, makes the clutch engage point more..........ahhh whats the word here..............(normal or lower) This really is a great site with tons of info and very friendly users that don't mind noobs like me.............(shocked)

you get used to the clutch. I don't even notice it anymore.

Welcome aboard

Thanx all !! (thumb)

Just got the clutch adjustment done few minutes ago..lucky it wasn't freezing windy tonight..wasn't as bad as i thought, after reading through the readme over and over again...

Mine took 3 1/4 turns but i had to double check 5 times to make sure there's a little play (i interprete it as the first *tap* i feel when pressing the clutch down).....seems fine, just have to learn to shift smoother now with the lowered clutch....

I'm enjoying the ride..ehhehe..so far no signs of the power loss issue, and mine does not have the re-flash *slap on wood*

Thanx again ! gonna borrow friend's camera later on..wheeee
