New but not so new...

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on here. I used to have a speed 3 but recently traded it on a speed6. The speed6 in question I came across some may remember as Brad Stachs aka printf's old MS6 that was used to create the original Cobb stage 2 map(http://forum.***************/mazdaspeed6/217223-getting-tune-whoohoo-updated-dyno-chart.html). I came across it at a local dealer. Apparently it was repossessed and wen't to auction where this dealer got it. Carfax only had Brad as a owner. Looked stock but has full turbo back cp-e exhaust and intake and the tune on it still. I have since tinted it, put the sharkfin on and just recently had konig illusion 18x8 35offsets put on. Next thing I'm planning on doing is tien s tech springs and motor/diff mounts... Here's a couple pics of my new baby

Nice. Welcome...back.
Lose those wheels man. They look hideous on the Speed!

Yeah, the rims don't look as good in pictures, they are actually in very similar shape to the Advan RS's but they were ball machined on the inside of certain spokes and that really throws off the look, I'm planning on getting em powder coated more of a dark flat gun metal. Doesn't help the car looks like a lifted truck with the stock suspension ha

You're not letting your friends drive this one right??
Major drop needed... and I think it will definately compliment the wheels like you said

 

[blh_wakeboard]

Haha yeah no, no one drives this one unless I've got the keys/title to their ms3/ms6 jk. Yeah it's the base sport model so it doesn't have any have the heavier niceties which I think I'm better without. I'll be posting more pics as she comes along, blacked out the emblems the other day, here's a pic from last night

Heavier niceties...like the heated leather...which is coming in mighty handy right now!

Sweet ms6!

What happened to the ms3 though?

The car looks good welcome to the forums

 

[blh_wakeboard]

Thanks!

Sweet ms6!

What happened to the ms3 though?

I sold it earlier this year, for over two years I paid $575 just in the car payment alone each month. It finally got too much. I had it paid down to where I could finally sell it and I did. I should have refinanced it but that thought never occurred to me for some reason. But I'm just glad to have a speed again and I got a really good deal on this one, payment is less than half of what I was paying on my other one lol
