Pretty sure they are ET50
There's got to be a reason why there's all that junk on the front. If they were just testing drivetrain/engine bits for a 6, it would just bolt in, and they wouldn't need the disguise. I'd say the...
I reckon these are one of those things we should all do before we start modding the 6s, I mean even standard the stock ones seem to break!
Waits for the flood of series I MPS 6 sales :)
02-04: 96 Hyundai Excel - Lowered with mags, exhaust and a stereo. I thought it was cool at the time... how wrong I was :) Gave it to my younger sister.
04-06: 96 Nissan 200SX - Converted the...
I've only had mine not long, and only just go registered so not much at the moment. Just an AEM CAI and some minor exhaust mods.
Father in law has another 6 with TBE, CAI and turbo inlet and...
You should be fine with the factory tune, I'd hold off until you get those extra couple of mods.
Seeing as you're in Canberra, have a chat to Ultimate Tunes in Phillip. They're good guys and...
PM'd you, I was looking at this but the V2 for the 6, so maybe they can do a deal :)
Are those Tenzo something or others? I like!
May I ask where you ended up getting them from?
Something makes me think that means it will look nothing like that :)
Not sure, we've got two MPS6 running these (one for a while, the other not so long) and haven't had any dramas.
Here's the thread with more info:
Quest to cure oil/smoke once and for all - Mazdaspeed Forums
This is common on MZR's running either DP or a test pipe. I replaced the bolt in the banjo connection to the turbo, solves the issue...
I can't remember the details but pretty sure it's...
ON the topic of 100,000k services, has anyone got an idea of how much to expect the stealer to charge for one on an MPS6?
EDIT: $456.00 - 581.00 (Inc. GST) according to that site :eeksign:
Yep looking into it last night I'd agree...
While they'll fit, it might not necessarily be legal :norty:
An alternate size would probably be 225/45s which are at least a little more common...
Bridgestone list 235/40-18 as an optional size for the MPS.

There's really no reason they wouldn't be OK on the standard rims. Looking at the comparison:
[sorry just formatting the table properly]
Wheel 1:
Wheel Size: 18x7 ET 55
Tyre Size: 215/45-18...
Ok so I'm now officially a member of the MPS fold :) Picked it up Friday, but hasn't been a decent day of weather here since so no pics yet.
Hi Mate,
Use stateroads. They are probably the most thorough and include a test drive of the car (if the owner will let them, if not they'll ask to be driven... if they still can't do that well,...
Cheers mate, I've been looking at the pics of yours all day... loving the bonnet stripes, they're reverse MPS 3 versions right?
So I found one, and '06 VRM 6 Luxury. Stock as a rock in awesome nick, so it will be a great base to start from. Was initially after a black or radiant ebony, but good ones are hard to come by! ...
Hi All,
Thought I'd also post in here rather than starting a new thread.
I'm also in the market for a MPS 6 in the ACT/NSW region.
I'm actually lucky enough to have one in the family that...
Well if you think about it, I'm not actually converting...
just playing both sides.
......
Hang on, that doesn't sound right :smiley:
Hahaha, how'd I know the first person to spy me here would be you?
