Mazdaspeed 6 UPDATE + Check pg 5 for detailed PICS!

[QUOTE='Sploder]Apparently they need 17" winter rims because of the size of the brakes (boom06). That is rediculous.[/QUOTE]


Ouch! I haven't priced that out yet. Doh!

Are those "fake" high beams and foglights in the main housing? I know the fogs are fake cause it has the extra ones i nthe bumper, and I can only assume that the HID's are bi-xenon if those are indeed fake. (The most inboard bulbs)
 
I saw a silver MS6 on my drive through Vernon... looked just like the one you posted, i'm thinking it was your parents cause there aren't many out yet... [QUOTE='Sploder]That's surprising. Probably sometime this week then. My parents recieved it yesterday.[/QUOTE]

From grill to corner:
Hi Xenon
Parking lights
Turn signals
Lo Xenon

Damn those Xenon bulbs are bright! With the hi beams on it like some huge Hollywood spotlight is shining the way. EVERYTHING gets lit up like a mo'fo'!

I don't think the High beams are xenon, unless its tilting the low beams up. Due to the nature of "flashing" hi-beams to get attention, they never use them in a dedicated HID setup.

The low beams however definitely are bi-xenon, and stay illuminated when you turn on the high beams.

Front rotor size is 12.6, which prevents the fitment of 16's. 17's should fit without a problem though, both because the spare is a 17, and the rx8's with their 12.72 front rotors can fit them without issue.

I think they were in vernon at some point so that is very likely!

Thats what it sounds like. Those brakes are huge.
 
I talked to two different Mazda dealers today. Both dealers said the have MazdaSpeed6s coming in next week. The cars are currently at setting at the port (WoodHaven Michigan). So I guess we will see what happens.
 
The lack of engine pics is killing me. Rainman, post up a few pics of the bay and of the keycard when you get a chance. Sweet pics so far BTW.:)

Seriously though brother, I'll get some pics for you soon.

There is bro... instead of using the attach files feature in your post, go to the user CP and upload them there. Here is a quick explaination:

Got to User CP at the top of this page. At the bottom of the left hand column you will see "Upload Files", go there. Go to the bottom of that page, and you will see 4 different buttons that say choose file. Hit those, and select a different picture for each one. After you have selected 4, hit upload files. Now they are saved into your User CP and you can post them anywhere on the net. To post a link to your pics, just paste the address of the pic into a post... or if you want the picture to actually display on the page that you are posting it in, surround the address with tags. Example of that is [*IMG]www.msprotege.com/users/rainman/etc...[*/IMG]. [b]Remove both of the * symbols from before the IMG commands.[/b]

Hope this helps.
