    6 pulling hard to right...help~!

    You may have to go to a body shop and have them pull your frame to compensate. As long as you have moved your tires around enough to know its not a tire, it has to be a problem with your caster, even though its not adjustable, it still might need to be out of factory spec in order to track...

    DIY_lowering

    I did a lowering kit on an 05 6s at the shop I work at. The customer expected it would take all day. I did the whole lowering kit in a little over an hour. I will never again in my life do any lift kit or lowering kit or maintenence of any kind without air tools. Once you go air you CANT go...

    Electrical upgrades for '07 Mazda6i sedan?

    for a battery i think optima would be the obvious choice, with regards to alternator i think a higher amp one is available aftermarket... also i'm not positive, but i think the alternator from a 6 cyl tribute/escape is compatible, bu dont hold me to that

    Questions in regards to the speed 6

    From my knowledge the rear diff whine is not on every speed 6... at least my friend has no signs of it. Pull the resonator off the intake, usually located in the fender, or just get an intake kit. With regards to exhaust... the cheapest way is to get an axle back setup... pretty much just...

    Rear camber kit?

    If you haven't gotten it aligned thats why it feels like crap. Not only your camber but your toe is out as well and will get you serious tire wear quick. There should be plenty of adjustment in the rear to get you back in spec, or at least at the borderline.

    Mazdaspeed CAI Vs Stock Air Box? question

    CAI can definitely throw a CEL. A lot of the time it has to do with the installation. If you don't unplug your battery when you put it in... the computer wont relearn and it may cause a CEL when it suddenly has a bigger cooler supply of air. My parents had a 02 wrx that we put a CAI on and...

    Cut the bumper support to expose my FMIC more..

    Well it looks like ass... sorry. Maybe look into a different front bumper for the car that hides the sides of that intercooler, and you probably aren't pushing enough boost to need the rest of the fmic anyways... but to each his own. Another option you have is to paint the intercooler black to...

    mazda3 vs mazda6

    my sister has a 3s hatchback, and i have a 6s. In my opinion.. you will be into the 6 a little bit more on the money, they get about the same gas mileage, the 6 has a lot more power, and more room for everything you need. And when you turn on the a/c you don't feel your horsepower disappear.

    Camber Kit for Speed6?

    rear camber is adjustable from the factory as well as rear toe. Front toe is the only adjustment on the front due to the style of strut the 6 is equipped with. The only way to adjust front camber is to buy adjustable balljoints.

    Shocks / Struts?

    i used tokicko adjustables on my 02 protege 5 with eibach pro-kits. They worked excellent and i believe have a lifetime warranty. When i would turn the stiffness all the way up the thing was pretty much a go-kart. Handled excellently

    Camber Kit for Speed6?

    well i'd see how far out your camber actually is. With adjustable balljoints you should be able to get back within spec. Even if you are lowered 2.5 inches. I rigged spring clamps on mine so i could see where my camber sat before i bought springs. I clamped them down so i had about 1.5-1.8...
