    Finally, after customs holding the damn thing for over a week, my package has arrived: Sorry, I was too excited to take pics during the install process. But here is what it looks like in the car: I got sick of waiting for the Top PSI gauge pod so I made my own. Took about 3 days using...

    Just got back from my very first oil change at the dealership

    So I go to the dealership to get my first oil change on my new car. Everything goes fine and I'm driving home, stop at a street light and see some smoke coming out from under the hood. I think to myself "some monkey at the dealership probably spilled a little bit and it's burning off, no big...

    First roadtrip in my Mazdaspeed 6 **LONG read, but lots of pics as well.**

    Well I'm a little late in writing this as it happened last weekend but taking pictures is fun, uploading them from the camera.....not so much. I had always heard about what a fun drive highway 6 is. Beautiful views and winding roads, sounds like my kind of place. So it was settled, myself...

    Flashing the highbeams flashes the HIDs too!?!?

    I noticed today that if I have all of my lights off (during the day), that if I flash my highbeams, it also flashes the HID low beams. As far as I know, flashing HID headlights is bad for them, as they need to heat up/cool down when they are used. Was this an oversight by Mazda, or am I...

    Resetting my ECU

    I've owned my MS6 for 5 days or so now, and I CONSTANTLY run into the powerloss issue. Even though I only run 94, I can only really gun it LATE at night when it has really cooled down. I talked to my tech about the recall, but he said it was a last resort and recommends I don't get it. He...

    I'm hesitant to buy an MS6 because of the short production run

    I test drove an MS6 the other day and fell in love with it. It is everything I want out of a car, the perfect mix of sport and luxury. I'm just worried that down the road parts/repairs are going to be expensive because they are only making the car for one year. I've been convincing myself...

    Fellow CANADIANS, please help me

    If you bought your MS6 in Canada, please post your province and how much you paid. I keep hearing about these HUGE deals and yet my dealer won't budge on the price. Americans please don't bother replying. No offence, but you just can't compare american and canadian car prices, they simply...

    Does the Sport model come with HID/Xenon?

    I'm very close to purchasing an MS6, I went for a test drive today and fell in love. The brochure says that it has Xenon headlights, and the website does. But MANY of the online reviews and articles I'm reading say that the GT package adds Xenon headlights. Just wanted clarification as I only...

    Spicy Orange paint code

    Hey everyone, my friend is thinking about painting his car that new orange color we've seen on a few Proteges. From doing a few searches on here, I believe it is called "Spicy Orange". Does anyone know the paint code for this, or is that what it is called?
