Sorry, the title should say 6i. Well, last weekend I broke the transmission in my 2.3 five speed. I didn't push the clutch quite far enough while backing up and it felt like something broke, but then I was able to get it into reverse, but that was it. I was unable to shift out of reverse and the...

I have a problem with my 05 mazda 6i 2.3. Last week my battery light came on one day and the car was a little slow starting. A couple days later I put water in the battery (it was low), got the car started, turned on the AC and something blew. Even with a jump start the car doesn't run right...

Well, I am having some issues with my '05 2.3 mazda6. It drives ok, but in stop and go traffic, if I don't rev it enough when I let out the clutch it shudders and or grinds a little. If I rev it and quickly let out the clutch then it's normal. My car wasn't maintained very well before I...

I have a simliar issue. When I'm turning at slow speeds like in my development, I often get a little cluncking. I don't hear it as much as feel it like it was transmitted through the steering column, but the steering feels smooth and good otherwise. I think there must be something a little...

Has anyone here tried a throttle body spacer? I found a little about it on another forum and they seemed to think it was an OK, if minimal performance mod.

I really hate being forced to push my stupid clutch just to start the car. I always leave my car in neutral unless I'm parked on a steep hill ,which don't exist here in San Antonio. Also, I am thinking that having to push the clutch a few thousand extra times a year is going to wear it out...

my 05 6i has the recirculated air bulb out, and the display panel :mad:

I saw this on a site from an ad on another forum and it's very affordable, and looks like a standard short intake. Does anyone know why it is called an induction kit? Or why it's cheap? Or what that extra hose in the pic is? K&N 57i Performance Induction Kit p/n 57-0615...

I saw a fancy, carbon fiber unit like this on some website, but it was $800!

I checked the fuses, none are broken, but the radio fuse seemed like the metal was a bit corroded with something other than rust, so I buffed it a little and put it back. Last night it came back on, and then today it's mostly not on, with occassional signs of life. Is this a wiring problem?

I bought my 6i about 3 weeks ago. The display was messed up when I bought it apparently, parts of the characters wouldn't show right or at all. A week later or so I did the throttle body ground mod. Now my display screen is blank but the radio still works. Also the lights for my recirc/fresh air...

THANK YOU! Finally someone answered my question (indirectly)- the 16" stock wheels weigh 21.1 pounds. Now I need to find out how much 16" Mazda alloys weigh, hopefully they made 16" alloys for the 6 because I don't want minivan wheels or 3 wheels on the car.

Yeah it has power. Would I have to buy it from a dealer, or is there a way to buy one used and program it somehow?

I just bought an '05 mazda 6i. Can I get a remote entry keychain for it like new mazda's come with? My MPV was on '04 and it had one.

Two questions: what's the downside of removing the flapper? Is there a noticeable improvement removing the tray, and any negative effects?

I hope I'm using the right term, anyways I have seen bits and pieces of info about this component of the intake system and it sounds like it might be beneficial for performance to remove it, but I would like some more info first before I mess around with it. Any suggestions?

When I had my BMW everyone in the bmw community said that you could actually lose power with a SRI when it's hot.

OK, since no one seems to know about the steel wheels, does anyone know how much some mazda 16 inch alloy wheels weigh? Do the mazda rims come in 16 inch or just 17?

OK, I guess a should have specified short ram intake versus the stock intake. Obviously CAI's don't have the heat issue, but generally cost more.

I know intakes are probably the most common mod for cars, but I have always heard that hot climates are not suitable for this mod because the air inside the engine compartment will be so hot that you will actually lose power compared to the stock system. Does anyone here have a sport intake in a...
