Hi Just joined the MPS6 crew

Hey guys just bought a Mazda 6 mps 2005. I must say the car has impressed me 10 fold and just wanted to say hi.

If you guys dont mind could you tell me in your personal opinion what are the first performance mods you would do and which are the safest.

I heard an ECU flash is the best. Gimme your ideas guys


Cheersb Michael

Welcome fellow newcomer!

If you search the mods tech talk you will see intake and exhaust are the first mods most members do. From what I have read there is no need to tune the ECU with these mods, but if you want more power and a better tune then you may want to do that also.

There is heaps on changing the rear engine mount also to help with 2nd to 3rd gear change.

So much info on this forum to answer all your questions. Enjoy!

Welcome mate, great choice on car

Definitely first change that rear engine mount, then put in SRI and downpipe!
Really will make the ride great!
After that it just gets abit rediculous

As the others have said, changing the rear engine mount will make a HUGE difference to your opinion of the car (for the better). It's how it should have been from the factory! Can be done yourself if you have the right tools etc. I've recently fitted the Sure Torq R6â„¢ // SURE Motorsports // Mazda Performance Equipment one, and recommend it.

A very easy mod if you want a bit more turbo/intake sound is to fit an SRI or CAI. Also good later when you start adding more mods. If you don't want the sound () at least put in a K&N panel filter instead of the stock filter.

Intake, rear engine mount, hypertech flash or the like, dump pipe and rear sway bar would be a good start

Check out the cruises section and come along to the next monthly meet for a chat!

Thanks guys all your input really helped.

I think im definitely getting those engine mounts changed, since the "shift thump" described does occur when im hitting the higher revs.

Any DIU guides?
Also it says $135 for one, just need to verify i would only require the one for the complete rear engine.
