Mazdaspeed6 introduced

[soccrstar]

looks better on chrome

that moist silver metallic actually make it look sexy

come next year, you going to see alot of moist Mazdaspeed6s :-x

either MS6 or Legacy GTL will b my next car w00t cant wait til it comes out subuaru and mazda dealer 10 sec walk between each will make an awesome comparision.

 

[wongpres]

wongpres you mean like the new lexus...walk up and the park lights come on with headlights and as long as you have the passcard on person the car will run.

Yes

So if the car is on and someone puts a gun to your head and cr jacks you once the car gets like say 3 feet from you it dies?
also the current 6 has remote start option will this one have it too or would you need to leave the pass key in the csar for it to remote start with aftermarket system defeating the security feature.

I don't know enough about the specifics of the Mazda implementation to say. I don't know how any factory remote start accessories would work (or if it could be done at all).

Mazda's implementation of this keyless is VERY new. It was only introduced with the Japanese-market Mazda Verisa that debuted a few months ago. The Mazda5 and Mazdaspeed6 are the first implementations for this outside of Japan.

As to the shaved door-handles - the reason why this system wouldn't really look nice with shaved door-handles is that this keyless uses a small infra-red like cover on the door handles (both driver & passenger sides). You may be able to see this on the press photos for the Mazdaspeed6 & Euro-spec Mazda5 (though it's likely the lower resolution will make it only appear as a dot, if it appears at all).

Well see a small IR sensor could be relocated to say the black door trim and it would also hide very well then but of course your talkin a lot of custom work but anyone going through enough trouble to have a good shave job done wouldnt mind payin for that also.

About The chrome black wheels I just dont like the wheels as they look huge and heavy and most people who look to buy this performance sedan wouldnt wanna go slappin on heavier than stock 18's or 19's hell I wouldnt be surprised if most downsized the a wider 17 like a 17x8.

now if someone wants to chop on some ssr comps or something that would be sexy

I tried I'll find another picture and try CF hood with evo vents. I like the RX-8 N/A and Speed rims...rolling fenders is a must.

haha legacy STI? u mean Impreza STI sillie billie

i was actually thinking of going sub-compact but i keep coming bak to midsized... my choice of vehicles was actually WRX, STI, EVO-8, RX8, S80T5 (cant afford R) i sat in rx8 and was so uncomfortable so that was off the list

other day i want to both mazda and subuaru dealership as they right next to each other and i looked at both but dam the legacy gt Limited looked so dam sexy in atlantic pearl blue but some 19" Silver rims with a nice lip on it, lower it and agrr gon make me all nice n tingly just thinkin bout it also that mazda6 with them chrome rims that was photoshopped made me tingly inside as well so its basically down to test drive of the 2 vehicles and which dealship treats me the best. i'll be happy with either one of 'em both excellent excellent cars

btw sorrie for hijack n offtopicness

ok you take the wrx STI I will take a legacy (shocked) STI(man I wish it was possible lol)

do some homework lol

 

[Da 6]

Yep STi (Subaru Tecnica iternational) is like saying I want a MAZDASPEED or Nismo. I didn't know it existed till someone showed me links to it and the legacy 3.0. Walk into any place in the states and everyonw will say I'l take the STI cause the legacy just has the detuned "STi" engine from the STi.
Now you can baffle your fiends....(nana) (yippy)
Don't worry I didn't know what mazdaspeed ment till I bought a mazdaslow...


Um yeah Found the info I needed (Or Didn't want to hear) (RTM) (pissed)
Same Block...difrent internals and non swapable pcm...


*EDIT Link Added* http://de.geocities.com/s401_lion/subaru/s401/thumbnails.html
s*** theres even a forester STi! http://de.geocities.com/s401_lion/subaru/forester_sg9/Thumbnails.html

 

[anarchistchiken]

non swapable pcm...

How's that work? It's always swappable. You might need to write some cheater codes in to tell the car its the stock unit, but its always possible.

well when you figure out how to work the CAN system let us know please lol.

 

[Da 6]

yeah if I can get 91 and up octane flowing thru my cars system and advancing the timing (W/O throwing a piston or spinning a rod) That would deffinently make a difrence ...............................................................................
















ZOOM ZOOM!

but yeah can bus is screwing me cause I have a handheld scanned but not can bus (pissed)

 

[soccrstar]

hmmm

is the mazdaspeed6 going to be a sedan or hatch or both avail?

if only a sedan should come with a rear wiper but thats just me

 

[Da 6]

everyone says sedan. the paris model is hatch for the records(rear wiper)

 

[wongpres]

As I said in the Mazdaspeed6 lip spoiler thread, the production Mazdaspeed6 will be a sedan. The Mazda6 MPS showcar presented in Paris 2002 was a hatch, but the production version presented in Paris 2004 is the sedan.

Here are links:
2002 concept

2004 production
http://www.edmunds.com/news/autoshow/articles/103045/page004.html

Yes, they look similar, and that demonstrates how Mazda was indeed able to bring most of the concept car's features into production. However, one difference is the bodystyle - the production version is sedan only.

2006 MAZDASPEED6

Coming in early summer, the MAZDASPEED6 will feature a direct-injected turbocharged 2.3L engine, 6-speed manual, all-wheel drive, a modified suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels and a significantly more rigid body structure. Aggressive, yet sophisticated styling enhancements plus the practicality of mid-size accommodations complete what will be Mazda's ultimate performance sedan.

w00t early summer baby
going to start saving up for this baby and going to put my tax return in money market til it comes out

cant wait to test drive ms6 n LGTL back2back see which is the best all around n get outta da dam kia :-(

Does the inter-cooler look like it might be water-air?


Here is a shot of the back side of the motor:

I've been looking for water lines in every pic I've seen of the engine bay, but that dang cover hides everything...

 

[anarchistchiken]

Even if it is water-air, it's still pointless. There's just no way that enough air is gonna get back to it with no scoop or anything. It's just gonna simmer in the scalding air in the bay. FMIC will be a must, I think.

I agree. I'm just trying to figure out why its up there with no scoops and visible air ducting.

 

[muohio]

The actual hood of the car is what allows for air to get to the IC. Unlike Subaru which puts the duct above the IC, Mazda will use the front of the hood as the scoop and route it back. A top mount is better for constant boost pressure but a front mount offers better cooling.

 

[Da 6]

holy snikes that looks like a vvt cog!

 

[soccrstar]

hmm, cant you put a aftermarket hoodscoop on the MS6 along with the stock vent

would that be best? or would that defeat the purpose of the front vent?
