What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

[Qwik6]

That looks smean

 

[ms6zoomzoom]

Well that looks yummy! Get some of this http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/32062/10002/-1?CT=999 for the Downpipe. SteedSpeed has come along way with their manifolds, their s*** is top notch now. Any plans to go with a Blow thru MAF setup instead of Draw Thru?

I'll just stick with draw thru, I forgot the explanation behind why draw thru was better. I think because of air going back through the MAF once the tb closes when going blow thru.

Yeah the mani is actually twin scroll, my turbine housing isn't but it performs just fine. There's another mani steed makes with dual ewg's. It's super sick.

That looks smean

Thanks! It's viscous once the ewg screams at wot. Ridiculously loud. Haha, almost went deaf with all 4 windows down.

Lotsa stuff...

No sweat Boosted. You're a valuable part of this community and I'm glad you're back (/still here). Sometimes life makes us go a little crazy, that's just how it is. And if you can't carry over that craziness on an anonymous internet forum, then where CAN you?

Got the new issue of S3 in the mail today and lookey what car was in there...

Taylor, did you submit that? Is it like a "Reader's Rides" type section? Either way, congrats on the publicity shot.

Soooo I did this last weekend...

Wow, man that looks absolutely sick. Any chance you have video of the car at WOT? I'd love to hear a slow accel from a stop to the top end.

just changed my transmission fluid yesterday to some amsoil mtg. shifts are so much more smooth now and it seems to have eliminated the 6th to 5th gear lock out i was getting on downshift.

Guys,

I have not been honest about what i have bought or where i live or what has gone on this past year or so. The shop was a bad investment that went south and didn't turn out the way i wanted, so instead of answering to everyone about it i just decided to make things up and leave this place. That was not the best way to handle things, i should've been honest from the start. I still have the Speed, the black one #2717, and while it sits in the garage during the winter, its still for the most part how it was when i left here. I never sold it, never bought an IS-F, never moved to GA, although i did visit my uncle who lives there and looked at a few houses. I'm looking into buying another one, but that's just it ( looking). I would love to get a WWP for 2nd car and would love to use that for a build. I have gotten Married, and me and my wife have a wonderful baby boy now. I still live in RI, although in Warwick. I apologize for my actions and for making you all believe i left this great community. There are lots of new and exciting products coming to this market and I'm helping out a few companies as i type this. I hope you all can forgive me and the way i have acted over the past year or so.

Its all good dude, i figured you where lying when the pics never showed up. haha
And i too am happy you didnt sell your ms6, you had a good build going and you had loads of information for the community!

BoostedSpd6 no need to apologize for not sharing your business with the internet world. Sometimes things are best left unsaid, and I'm glad to see we didn't lose someone that is very valuable to the community that we all share. Welcome back..

actually blow thru is better. not sure who told you draw thru is better, but they arent correct. loving the pics of the setup tho man. keep up the good work

 

[04gixx6]

lol. She still wants to come and see it saturday.

Tell her no, the car needs to go to a man. And that his name is BoostdSpd6 and that she is not even a member on here. And that is a prerequisite

Congrats!

I actually like them!

BoostdSpd6- Not even bothered with the events that have gone on. Just glad your back. I have gained a lot of knowledge from guys like yourself, Quik, Forzda, Tunersteve. And MANY others. So welcome back, you are an incredible help to this community. Now buy Quik's speed!!!!

 

[BoostedSpd6]

Those rims are ok.. i just dont think the Deep Dish look will go well with the MS6. Nor do i think poking your rims looks good either. Im not a " Hella Flush" fan.

Yeah im going to have to agree with Justin here, having run blow thru myself, the car ran way better with it, sure you gotta clean your MAF more often, but its well worth it.

I told taylor that if that chick puts down a good offer this weekend, dont pass it up..I wouldnt be able to be a serious buyer until a month from now.

 

[JDM-P5]

Welcome back...even though you (technically) never left.

 

[04gixx6]

I think I am going to try plasti dip on the front and rear emblems. Instead of dealing with chipping paint. Just to see if it will hold up better.

grrr i wish i could find plasti dip around here i could have some fun with it

 

[thewheelman]

I've been getting some interesting noises from the transmission in first gear - I've had Redline oil in there for about 10000 miles and AWR mounts for 5000. I'm going to change back to my stock tranny mount, and if that doesn't change the noise, I guess I'll change the fluid again...

 

[Tungsten6]

Having a slight problem with mine.

My brake peddle sounds like a damn bov when i let off the peddle (ok maybe not a bov but its pretty loud)
Any ideas of what thats from? I took a video just incase i am the first person with this problem and so you guys arent wondering wtf i am talking about.
The video will be here when it finishes processing.

I am at 58k on the oem brakes.

It doesnt seem to be affecting how i can stop but its just really annoying.

look @ what I picked up today for $300! ETS TMIC and Cobb access port! The AP is still married to a MS6 but for $200 I can get it unmarried.....not a bad deal at all
