Mazda 6 MPS: kmh001 is for sale

[kmh001]

Item: Mazda 6 MPS leather pack - liquid silver
Location: Perth
WA registered until March 2013
Item Condition: Very good condition, see photo below
Reason for selling: Completed my build project, there’s nothing left to do to the car so I’m buying an aircraft for something completely different.

NEW PRICE $18,000

This car is well known to WA/NSW/ACT members. I’d like to think it would stay in the ozMPS family so it’s currently only being advertised on this forum. If you know someone who might like to buy this car please let them know it's available.

It’s a one owner, tastefully modified and superbly maintained 6MPS. In addition to the usual 6MPS leather pack features which include sunroof, Bose sound system and electric memory drivers seat, this car has the following improvements:
RX8 wheels
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres – 3018km old
German made suspension including Bilstein dampers with H&R springs
TWM stage 1 short shifter and base bushings
Turbine Tech rear diff mount
SURE Dreadnaught rear diff brace with custom modifications for extra strength
Ultra heavy duty rear axles made in USA with massive 7-ball CV joints rated to 500hp
VersaTuned by Stratified Automotive of Canada
BNR stage 3 turbo (installed new in August)
Denso ITV 22 spark plugs
CPE Downpipe
Norm Butler custom stainless steel mid-pipe (stock mufflers are retained: nice growl, no droning)
Hyperflow SRI
Hyperflow TMIC
SURE Turbo Inlet Pipe
Custom polyurethane rear engine mount
DBA brake rotors with Hawk HPS pads all round
Corksport front shock brace
Ipod interface cable permits ipod control through steering wheel controls

There are numerous other improvements including painted brake callipers (black) with Mazda decals, genuine MPS floor mats, 80mm driving lights, plus more.

The new owner will receive the Tactrix cable, VersaTune license and a copy of the software. This will entitle them to ongoing self- tuning and data logging at no cost. There is also the option of purchasing top-up tuning with Stratified if the new owner chooses to make additional engine hardware changes.

Exceptional maintenance history including regular brake fluid and coolant replacement and synthetic oil to engine, gearbox, etc. Regular MAF cleaning. Regular upper engine cleaning to prevent intake valve contamination. Regular leather treatment. Brand new gearbox, clutch and flywheel were installed at 106,060 km. New ignition coils, EGR valve, and rocker cover gasket installed at same time. Drivers side engine mount replaced ~120,000km. HPFP replaced ~ 90,000km. Diff coupling replaced ~60,000km. The odo currently reads 128,262km.

Splitting extra parts? Interested in the pre-amp.. Does it just give the sub a bit more oomph?

[kmh001]

The pre-amp is a small circuit that you wire in to improve the bass response. I'll let you know if it's left over.

I've already had requests to part-out, which unfortunately I can't accommodate. The engine is tuned to the current hardware configuration and so is the chassis. It's a well sorted-out and cohesive package which needs to remain intact so the new owner can enjoy this car.

[Scaredycrow]

I wonder how many more of these Mazda might have sold had they come like this from factory...

[Caffeine Fiend]

Probably not many more because Mazda's advertising still would have sucked

Good luck with the sale Mate

Good luck with the sale Mal, if I had $25K spare I'd buy it as a weekend fun car! Alas I don't however whoever does buy this will get themselves one of the best maintained and most tastefully modified MPS 6's around.

The plane sounds like a lot of fun, look forward to hearing more about it

[Doug_MPS6]

Hi Mal, rather sad to see it go but understand the ongoing need for projects.
The plane will take up your time. So will CASA. Been there, done that.
The car looks like a great buy. Any idea of your boost psi and power/torque outputs? You didn't mention your AWD on/off switch, I see. Maybe that is included on "other" ;o) .
I'll keep an eye open for likely souls who might be interested. Good luck!
have always appreciated your tech input here - hope you will drop in from time to time to say Hi.
Cheers

[kmh001]

Thanks Chris & Doug. The boost is currently at 19psi. This is just entering the efficiency zone of the BNR stage 3 turbo, so there is more power to be had if the new owner want's to go there. For my purposes it makes oodles of power but is still very safe an reliable; which is exactly where I wanted it. Doug I'm looking to buy an RV6 or 7 so I can do aero's.

Good luck with the sale! This is one of the finest examples of an MPS6

Q: do you have spot lights behind your front grilles (looking at the photo)?

Correct, they are 80mm 55w driving lights behind the grille. The control relay is hard wired to the high beam circuit because I figure if you want more light you may as well have it all.

[Doug_MPS6]

The one most serious shortcoming of the MPS6 is its crappy high beam. I'm looking at a few alternatives, including spots.

Very interesting placement. I quite like the look of it. Sure beats the old "aluminium bar attached to the number plate support" look. *thumbs up* Sorry to go further off topic, but do you have a thread on it? I think I might add these to my currect vehicle (not an mps). Thanks.

Can't remember if I did a thread on the driving light installation. The short version is that I used two holes that already exist in the structure to attach the lights, so no holes needed to be drilled. Then I mounted a relay with a power supply wire running off the bus in the fuse box and a control wire which tapped into the high beam circuit of the left head light. No switch needed and no wires leading into the cabin. It's quite neat.

I have only advertised my MPS for sale on this forum and I haven't been disappointed that there have been no serious offers to buy it because I still love being able to drive it whenever I need a horsepower fix. Probably priced it high because i didnt really want to sell it. Still haven't found an aeroplane either, but we have decided on a new car, probably a Volvo.

So I'm finally serious about selling my MPS, and that means a serious new price. My preference is still to sell the MPS through this forum and Ive decided to let it go for around wholesale price of $18000. That's a lot of performance for the money and a very clean car with new turbo and gearbox etc.

I'm also prepared to offer a spotters fee to any Ozmps member who introduces a buyer that leads to a successful sale.

If there are no bites within the next couple of weeks I'll probably just trade it in, but I hate the idea of some muppet buying it from a used car yard and not appreciating everything that has gone into this car.

I'll probably be buying the Volvo in Sydney or Melbourne so if someone over east wants to buy the MPS we might be able to work something out.

PM if interested.
Thanks.

Wow Mal, such a bargain, hope someone buys it who truely appreciates it and also the love, care and enthusiasm you have put into the car. Some of my fondest memories from this club have been with your family and your car and Im thankful for that

So.... what Volvo mmm Volvo

Oh and Ditto what Dan said, I hope and Im sure it wont be the last contact we have with you once your MPSless.

Still have to plan a trip over your side fo the country for a visit

[Stef]

Mal, If you are planning on buying your Volvo from Sydney, PM me, I have some contacts over here.

[SMOKEY]

Such a great setup - and a great price. GLWS.

My old man is taking delivery of a Volvo next month.

I nearly fell over when he told me on the phone he was buying a Volvo. Then he told me it was a wagon. Then he told me it was white. I was speechless.

Then he said it was the T6 R-Design, so i looked up the specs..... and now I can't wait to have a drive!
