    I'm no good with electronics...please help...

    No, you do not need a new head unit. Best bet if you can't do it on your own is to take it to a Certified Installer and get it done. I had mine done for $70.

    anyone looking to convert into 2 tone interior

    What was your offer? Looks like he rejected it pretty quick! I liked the 2 tone, my first Speed6 had it before I returned it. Wouldn't mind changing mine out. I think the 2 tone in a white speed looks awesome!

    Mazdaspeed6 Clutch Fix TSB

    All I can say is that you are getting screwed. If the vehicle falls under the correct VIN range, and still has the original clutch, they HAVE TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY! Maybe my dealer is just more accommodating, but they were more than happy to do it. The dealer gets paid to do the work...

    MS6 Amp location tip

    Nice work! Mine is set up almost exactly the same for the amp install, however, I have dual 12's in a closed box in front of it. I was real worried about too much heat, but I have never had a problem, and it's been in the car from day one!! I'll try and post some pics soon too so you can see...

    NEWBIE needs winter help

    I don't know anything about the Eagle F1, but I do have a set of the Pirelli PZero Nero Pinna all season's, and I can tell you from experience, that if there is more than 1/2" of snow up here, they are not that good. You can get around, but it's not ideal. There is just not enough tread depth...

    06/07 MS6 differences

    No major differences between the '06 and '07. 07's had most of the TSB's already done. The 4HP difference was due to the rating for gas (or so I was told). I had heard it was for a 91 rating in '07 and based off 93 for '06. The emissions comment mentioned before could be it as well. The...

    Dealer/Mazda problems -

    Oh! My bad, forgot you had an '06! Last year of the 50k warranty. One major reason I bought an '06 Speed6 instead of the '07. That and Whitewater Pearl was discontinued for '07! I would definitely keep on them, that's what it will take. You're gas mileage does suck. Sorry to agree with...

    MS3 insurance question

    Wow, reading all these actually makes me feel good about my coverage! However, as it was said before, you need to look at age, replacement cost of vehicle, credit, tickets, state/city/town, single/married, multicar, average annual mileage and such. My $414 every 6 months with Progressive on a...

    Dealer/Mazda problems -

    If you are under warranty, you shouldn't pay for diagnostic work. I know how it can be when they "can't duplicate the issue", but be persistent. I would take the technician out with you and show them exactly how it acts. I had to do that numerous times before they figured mine out, but I...

    Mazdaspeed6 Clutch Fix TSB

    I had 30k on mine when I had my clutch replaced. With the TSB, they should not be able to refuse the warranty repair. I complained about my clutch and the fact that even their guys would stall it moving it into the shop for routine oil changes from day one. Once the TSB is out there, anyone...

    Speed6 bucking

    Wow, sounds like we both had similar issues. My engine went at 30k too. An on top of that, same thing, every time I had to go in, it took atleast 3 weeks to get it back. Maybe I will look into getting some mods done, however with the economy in the outhouse, I might have to wait a bit...

    Speed6 bucking

    Sweet! Glad it worked out. I had read some other owners having issues opening it up to WOT too early and causing the stumbling, which is why I asked that. Have you done the fuel pump TSB or did you already have the upgraded one when you bought it? That with the Fuel Cut flash may make it...

    Just got flashed

    Wow, thanks for the attack. As far as me "Not romping on my car", I don't slam the friggin gas pedal to the floor every time I get in. I do get on it every now and then when needed. I don't need to do 150mph. If I was taking it to the track or dragging it sure, but I didn't buy the car to...

    Speed6 bucking

    Are you at WOT @2300 RPM?? Others have had the issue due to too much boost at too low RPM. Just a thought. There is also a TSB for the fuel pump, that could also be the issue. Do you have any mods? I seem to be one of the only ones with no mods ever done to experience so many issues. Let...

    Just got flashed

    I have had all of the recalls done, including reflash, and now also have a brand new engine that was put in after blowing up at 33000 miles with NO MODS EVER, but I have never noticed a dramatic power loss. If you feather the clutch and gas it without stomping on it, it goes fine. Anyone who...

    Less than 3000 mile and at the dealership....

    Agreed, I have no issues with Subies, but I have never liked the look of any WRX. Sti's are pretty sick performance wise, but I can't stand them (personal opinion). I would much rather have a Legacy GT. But all that aside, I would seriously call the home office, state your complaint and...

    Less than 3000 mile and at the dealership....

    Zyreh:, Correct on 2 points! Chrisp is an idiot, and most people do walk away instead of fight. When I had issues with home office going back to the dealer and saying they wanted to try all this crap and try and pin it on me, I called home Mazda myself and registered a complaint (not against...

    Speed6 bucking

    Wow, over a year since I have replied to this post. No go on all the work that had been done. I have posted in a few other threads, but they found that there was no oil pressure in the engine, and the engine needed to be replaced. So after a full year of going back and forth, I now have a...
