[ciaraswtp143]

Im looking for a steering wheel, same look as stock, but sides of wheel leather is bue. same with gear shift knobs for a manual transmission, and the e--brake. Also does anyone know where i can get seat covers that actually fit for these seats? if anyone knows let me know please. ciaraswtp143@aol.com

catskinz has the seatcovers and I beleve door pannels to match. steering wheel...I'd say get a shift knob and silver assesory steering wheel and find someone that does apustery(sp?) and take the desired cloth to them...painting an item that is touched day end and day out can be detrimental to the pain't staying on the surface....don't paint the inside door handle(part you pull door close)

is there a website or number i can call where i can get ahold of some nice 2003 Mazda 6 S seat covers?

Are there any other interior accessories that i can spice up my 03 6s with? I wanted to get a steering wheel to match my paint color, and the same with the shift knobs. but no luck there... anyone else have any ideas for me?

I think Mazda might actually have the stock steering wheel in other colors, but thats if you want to spend $400 to keep the Cruise control etc.

mazda NA only offers the intetior pieces in silver. I would say stop spendingthe money on looks and get some more HP but thats just me lol

 

[DieNadel]

Well with whats available now, I'd just soon do the looks before the HP. Theres all kinds of visual mods, not a whole lot of performance parts.

 

[timba24]

there are plenty of performance mods but do what you like as I myself would rather do performance before visual that way my car can back up its looks

performace wise...I'm waiting for a supercharger(mswerd) Till then MF Mufflers and Half Custom cai will do for me. When ever I get the cash I'll do rims...No need for headers in a 6i unless you like to be heard even at idle...

 

[ciaraswtp143]

as far as the super charger goes, how much does that add to the performance on a 6s?

 

[crossbow]

A supercharger would probably be good for another 60-80 WHP...making the car completely undrivable without an LSD.

I agree. But next to a supercharger, I have all the performance mods I need, CAI, Headers, Straight pipe exhuast with Borla resonator, so what else is out there? If there is more stuff, I must be looking in all the wrong places!!

they are still working on the pully,,,but I don't know about those. I already had pullys replaced under warrenty...

 

[crossbow]

I wouldn't touch the pulley's...at least not the crank pulley. Its got its own harmonic damper, and the aftermarket pulley's remove that, adding vibration resonance into the entire rotating assembly.

Whats that mean? Less engine life...for 3 hp. Woopdie do.

Now underdriving the accessory pulley's, thats dandy. I wouldn't mind putting a tiny one on the AC compressor, as I hardly ever use AC...as I'm used to owning a car without it.

Another thing you can do is completely replace the stock water pump (and its plastic impeller [weak point]), with an aftermarket electric one...thus removing an entire belt and pulley system on the drivers side of the front head.

But really in our car....almost all the power will be unlocked electronically. 220 WHP is obtainable (in an 6s MTX) without forced induction.

actually theres room for improvements on the 6i headers also you can get the CAI with MAF customizer

once I see the intake in action (On a AUTO) i'll think about it...but as stated before I don't want headers due to the db that my cai and soon so be MF mufflers will already put out. also since I can't get a cam gear and advance my timming I don't wanna push my already low tq higher up in the powerband...

I AGREE!!!

 

[timba24]

well draxas will be making a shorty header and a long tube race header so the sound with the shorty shouldnt be to bad since it will hook up to the stock cat

so does a few others and I didn't like the "Sound Vs. HP Concept" specially with aftermarket mufflers...

 

[timba24]

who else makes headers for the 6i? there isnt one out that I know of. besides if you get the shorty headers and the draxas exhaust with a resonator I am sure it will sound damn nice
