Newer MS6 owner, saying hello

MazdaSpeed6
Hey everyone. Wanted to join the forum and say how helpful its been to me. I bought a 06 Mazdaspeed6 about 6mo. ago used with just under 24K on the odo. (don't want to know how the previous owner treated the car, I like to pretend it was a 70 year old lady that drove it to church) I've already put almost 10k on it, it's just over 33k now. (Long commute, it's used mainly as a DD)

Its been a really good car so far. And the dealership I go to has been great in most cases. Had the Clutch TSB done right after I bought it, and just had the transfer case resealed.

No performance mods in the near future, possibly after the warranty is up. Appearance mods are on the list tho. Plan to do the badgeless grill, see how the HD lip looks, shorty Antenna, debadge "mazdaspeed6", nightshade front and rear reflectors, but all these next spring. First thing I picked up was some summer RX-8 rims, but its back to stock for winter. Anyway, here's a few picks. Thanks for looking.

Welcome to the forums! Car looks great, RX-8s definitely look clean (and are a lot easier to clean than the stock wheels).

Take a few minutes to check out some of the sticky threads on parts and issues, you'll learn a lot real quick. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, we're all friends here!
 
welcome to the forum! tonnes of great info, as steve said check out the stickies. If you cant find what you need just ask, lots of knowledgeable people on here.
 
Welcome. Beware of modding this car, it is addictive. Or maybe it's just me!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I can tell, I've got the itch to do some mods now... just before winter! DAMN. I just ordered a 60MM prosport peak/warn boost gauge, they have free shipping right now. I like the price and the look of the gauge. Plus the 60mm look sweet in the center vent on some of the other members on here. But again, I'll probably be hangin onto it for a bit before the install, but we'll see.

Yea, welcome.. and the addiction is true.. The increased horsepower feels great at first, then your tolerance builds up and you need more. its like drugs.
 
New winter setup

I had planned on running the stock rims with eagle gt all seasons this winter, but came across a deal on a set of 17" sport edition D5 rims with blizzak WS60 tires. I like the look of the rims and the tires ride nice. Just a bit more road noise which was expected. Also got an acura RDX antenna, it was half the price of the cx-7 from local dealers. heres a few picks.
