Hello all,
Chris is the name... new to the site, first post, but been lurking for a week or two...
Both a happy and sad day for me today... Picked up my shiney '05 MPS 6 today (YAY), but had to say goodbye to my tired but still loads of fun MX-6 (1st gen, 2.2L Turbo).
Previously had an assortment of big V8s... The MX-6 was my first turbo, in fact my first 4 cylinder, and after 1 drive I was hooked :D But the time had come to reitre the poor old MX-6, motor was still strong, but the rest of it was starting to fall apart.
So... now the proud new owner of a Silver 2005 Mazda 6 MPS. Have not yet had a chance to find even half of the bells an whistles on it yet, it is a world of difference to the tiny lighweight MX-6, and the old-school V8 HQ I had before that...
Already planning my first mods...
Lower it a bit, though not too low, the MX-6 with it's superlows was fun... but grinding over every speedhump got a bit droll after a while. :)
CAI/SRI for a little bit of turbo noise.
Boost gauge (maybe a dashhawk?) so I can see what is going on.
Will get some pics over the weekend if the weather is good...
Looking forward to lots of fun in my new Zoom-Zoom beast... :D
Chris.
