Add one more to list of smoking Speed6's. Mine started smoking after about 23,000 miles. Took it to dealer, bad seal in the turbo. Got a new turbo and no more smoke. I got 39,800 on it now and its back in the shop as of yesterday. Started bucking and studdering if the RPM's get near...

I had the TSB done a couple months ago and it's night and day compared to what it was. The clutch is so much easier. The 1-2 shift still isn't as smooth as I'd like it but definitely an improvement. Also, I didn't get any flack from my local dealer. I told them about the TSB, they looked it...

Yeah. As others have said, either go to another dealer or let them know that you want it done. I didn't have any problems with my dealer. I told them about the clutch TSB, he looked it up and said "yep, there it is. Bring it in and we'll get it taken care of." He ordered the parts and I...

I dropped my 06 speed6 off at the dealer this morning for the clutch fix/replacement. Mine was type A so the dealer says it will be at least 2 days to complete the job. I'll post the results in a couple days.

I get about 300 miles to a tank on 93 octane. Mostly city driving though.

Doesn't improve the looks of the car. Doesn't make it look worse either though.

I live in Atlanta so whatever tires I get they'll be a year-round tire. I'm basically looking for a tire that will give me more mileage than the stockers without losing the performance. I love the Bridgestones but they just wear way too fast. How many miles did you get with the FZ4's on your...

I live in Atlanta, GA. Snow really isn't a factor here.

I'm sorry, I have an 06 MS6. Black Mica. Thanks for the response. I'll look into the Falken's. Any other suggestions?

I've got about 13,000 miles on the stock Bridgestones and the edge of the tires are gone. They were actually worn out at about 10,000 miles so it time for some new tires already. I love the grip of the the stock tires but I've only had the car 8 months and I can't afford to replace tires that...

1. Drivers side front window "clanks" at the top when I roll it up. Sounds like it's going to break the window. 2. Developed at "pinging" type noise in the dash/console. Can't quite pinpoint where it's coming from. 3. Driver's seat has developed a squeak. 4. Clutch I've got about 7,000...

My guess is that he is just referring to this flash. I figure he just didn't want to say there could be a problem with your brand new $28,000 car that causes a loss of power.

I called him back and he said that it was a "tune-up" for the turbo. He said that they do it on all new speed 6's after once they're past the break-in period of about 500-600 miles. He definitely wasn't referring to the first oil-change/tire rotation.

I was at the dealership yesterday getting my car detailed because they did a bad job when I bought it and a sales guy comes up to me and asks me if I had the turbo on my car "serviced" yet. I said no. He then says that I should set an appointment to have it "serviced". I'm guessing he must...

Thanks for the thread. So I'm guessing my car is already broken in according to this http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm because I'm sure there's been some hard test drives on it.

Hello all. I just purchased an 06 Speed6 sport in Black Mica on Sunday. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to drive it much because IT'S SITTING AT THE DEALER WITH 2 BIG FUGGING SCRATCHES ON THE DOOR!!!! Unfortunately I didn't see the scratches due to it being dirty from sitting on the...
