Steelwagon6's Swagn6 Build

[steelwagon6]

Hey Guys, so I just realized something... I am a professional lurker on here! I joined way back in 2008 but never even posted anything, so I felt it was only appropriate that I say hello and introduce my 2004 Mazda6s Wagon. It has come quite a long way in the last couple years, and over the next couple weeks I'm expecting to make the biggest changes to her yet with regard to the suspension and wheel setup. Below is a list of what she looked like last year, and at the bottom is a little teaser of what to expect in the next few weeks. I'll try to keep this updated as things go on.

Moar low acquired. Hopefully picking up the wheels on Friday and throwing them on this weekend... We'll see how she sits after this snow storm we're expecting this weekend, haha #newenglandproblems

I finally got them on and fitted, the rest of this weekend I will be spending pulling the fenders and adjusting the coilovers to make sure I don't rub /everywhere/ I go haha. Still a lot left to finish, but she's coming along

Updated OP with some new pics! New lip and finally got the stance dialed in, so I took her to Staggered in CT last weekend and got some good feedback, thoughts?

Looks Good! I really like the added front and side lips. The 6 section on this forum doesn't get much love unfortunately. I need to quit being lazy and make a thread for my wagon.

Thanks a lot man, wagons unite!

And haha I've noticed it's a bit quiet in this sub-forum, are you on 6Club or 6Crew? I'm a lot more active there, but I figured I'd branch out to a few more mazda forums recently

I'm on both (same username) but not very active. Just got my 6 in March so I'm just reading threads and learning now.

Went to Import Face-off in NH last weekend. Didn't win anything with over 500 other fantastic rides competing, but got some good feedback and a nice shot from the official photographer

well i don't have a mazda wagon but i guess i have the next best thing, a ford. it is the futura it is a v6 exclusive to australia. sorry i won't provide pictures. it has been kept really clean but other than that still low mileage given it is over ten years old and still the same as the day it rolled out of the factory. the plan is to sell, along with two other cars, and probably put part of the money in to my new car. it could be a 2! lol.
