Ok, lets start off with the basics. I have a 2003 Mazda 6S automatic (manumatic or whatever they call it) It has an Injen CAI with the CP-E mass airflow customizer (to stop CEL'S) and a cat back Magnaflow Exhaust The problem is this. the car will shut off for no real reason. it happens mostly...

Yeah i looked at the WRX when i was looking for a car, but could get a lot more for my money with the 6S. I also am stuck with the auto tranny due to work and long trips home to PA a few times a year. Manual was just too much shifting in local traffic.

Very interesting, i would like to know the answer to that one myself just for knowledge. I would say it is normal that there needs to be room for expansion of the coolant when the car heats up, but i have no real idea.

But to answer the question i say EVO over WRX They tested them side by side (car and driver i think) and they are basically the same car but the EVO handled better and put up SLIGHTLY faster times in the test because of it. But i wouldn't trade my 6S for anything but the MS6. I have gotten use...

They make an Altima SE-R? I did not know that. Had a Sentra SE-R and it rocked in the speed and handling departments. The interior build quality sucked though so i traded it for my 6S. Although i still miss that little rocket sometimes. It would stomp my 6S on a highway run or light to light race.

aahahahahahahaha good one. (laugh)

Guess we'll just have to wait until someone buys one to find out the truth. Looks great on paper but i would have rather seen a turbo/supercharged V6 then the 2.3Lt 4cyl. Sounds like a millenia to me. Think i will just stick with the old 6S for a while.

Yeah, lots of the V6's had a problem with the check engine light when they installed the Injen intake. I bought the CPE unit to prevent that and have not had a CEL yet since i installed my Injen. Had it on for about 2-3 months now. I didn't install mine until i got the CPE unit for that very...

I would think that you would be able to get more air into the CAI since it sits right behind the one on the drivers side, I thought about replacing them with something mesh so the air could get through myself.

I don't have the fans issue...just the turn your car back in for a manual issue...anyone find the recall for that (rofl) Me neither, no fan issues here but i rarely use AC anyway

P.S. you have a 4cyl anyway so it doesn't apply to your car. Only the V6

(shrug) I typed exactly what the recall sheet i got in the mail said. Did you get a different one. maybe they just don't know which will happen, either way it needs fixin'

Here is what my recall says. Mazda motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program to replace the fan control module on 2003-2004 Mazda6 vehicles with the V6 engines produced from October 2, 2002 through September 30, 2003. It is possible the soldering on the fan control...

Anyone get the recall on the fan control module yet? I just got one Friday of last week. I suppose it should be a quick and easy fix. Anyone had it done and know how long it will take for them to do. I need to know if i can wait for it or if i have to get some transportation for the day. P>S>...

very interesting stuff, not that i will ever buy a Kia/Hyndai I read an artical that said Hyndai had the best initial quality rating in the US on their cars? Must have just been a bunch of fluff to sell them. They said that the KOrean manufactured cars were very well made. I guess initial...

OK (2thumbs) They are finally getting a check to me next week, the parts will be ordered today or monday and the car will go in to Bill Black Cadillac on Wednesday to get fixed. Thank god i am finally making some progress with these people!

that's the way to do it. All that snow and salt will just rust away your car if you don't keep a good coat on it. Even though i'm down south now i still follow the before summer, before winter rules i had in PA.

No it was a big truck with a solid cast iron style bed on the back. Not like F150 big but like tow truck big. May he be infested by a thousand crotch crickets that haunt his every waking moment! (naughty)

i do mine twice a year with the good stuff and every wash in between with the wax as you dry from Eagle 1. Once before winter, once before summer. But if a shop does it like yours i would say every 2 years would be fine. I use to detail cars for Lincoln Mercury in PA, what a kick ass job that...

you (nana) rock This is what my week has been (bicker) and i am still waiting on a check so i can get it fixed, now day 5!
