I'll check the brand tonight, but its a cheap eBay kit. I've used it before, and it seemed okay. Just by feeling it by hand, it feels like a rough, grippy cutting pad.


I'm using an Ozito 450w...

He's the resident expert, right?

just finishing up the bonnet now. Damn, it looks good, but my hands are numb and my hearing is half gone... gonna do the rest of the car next weekend and wear...

Decided to detail my car this weekend. Thought I'd spend longer than normal and really get everything out.

I am using a RO with a black cutting pad and Menzerna FG500. As usual, the spider web...

Wow, my agreed value is $26,000 for a 2006 MPS6 with 150,000km on it. If it gets stolen, I'm laughing (Although now that I've posted this, it better not be!). Buy another for $12k, and have $14k left...

Definitely not going to try for as lean as possible. Probably not even as lean as my friend suggested. If I do, I'll be moving in .1 or .2 increments, and being very careful to feel for any loss of...

Just had a look at that link you posted. Wow... If that fuel table is right, the guy is insane. 15 on idle, 17 on light throttle mid rpm, 14.7 on light throttle high rpm... So far so good - pretty...

Hey LittleredMPS. Thanks for the advice. I know that every car is different, which is why I'm asking to see what others have done. My first tuned car was in 1998 - but I'm also aware that today's car...

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm planning on doing some road tuning with my Mazda 6 MPS, which currently is only mildly modded (Hybrid T&F front mount, BNR Stage 1 turbo,...

Nothing too serious, but there have been some unexpected bills which have set us back financially a little.

Also, the next month or so, I need to do a lot of driving for work, and can't afford to...

Hi Guys,

Got my BNR Stage 1 turbo today:

3 weeks after I ordered it. Blinding fast. His reputation is well deserved - Poor at communicating, but clearly great at delivering what he promised.. ...

Got it this morning - a surprising 3 weeks. That's the fastest delivery I have EVER got from the US - maybe because the AUD was so low, there wasn't much to send, so Customs and Post were both quiet...

Thanks. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Well, as soon as he got my money, he's been ignoring my emails. No acknowledgement of receipt, no tracking number, no date of package sent...

I'm really hoping I haven't been scammed.

Me? Direct from Bryan at BNR

Odd. I got my replies within an hour - until he went to sleep at least, then I got it the next morning.

Unrelated: I went the Stage 1, because I wanted a straight drop in, higher reliability, with...

Damn I just placed an order for $1389 USD, no core exchange for a Stage one, delivered. Hopefully here in a few weeks.

Wonder why the disparate pricing.

I'm not complaining. It's still good...

No, the battery was left plugged in the entire time. With the ignition off and sitting there for a couple hours, the coils should have been dead cold. Didn't think there was a need to disconnect.

Ended up ordering DBA 4000 Series full faced rotors and Hawk HPS pads :)

Will let you guys know how I go.

I also changed my spark plugs into Denso Iridiums, 1 step colder over the weekend. I...

Damn. Going to have to do a rethink. Although I don't race anymore, I still go down places like Galston Gorge quite often. That's 20 minutes of riding the brake most the way down. (Unless I'm going...

What was wrong with the EBC greens? The Hawks were the other ones I looked at, actually.

I'm going to...

That's not too bad a price. Though being in Sydney, shipping would hurt, and if anything was wrong with the kit... At least if I got the Exedy one and had it fitted by an Exedy dealer, it's one...

Thanks. I do have a 2006 MPS6.

People have told me even after rebuilds, the turbo can leak quickly. But I was thinking if this lasted 100,000km, a rebuild would probably last that long as well?...

Hi Guys,

Just 6 weeks after my car came off novated lease, I find out I have to do a major overhaul of the vehicle. These are the problems:

1. Normal 120,000km service - expected that.

2....

Yeah, the HDi intercooler is Tube and Fin rather than Bar and Plate and is designed for low pressure drop.

Quite a few years ago when I owned an Evo 6, I upgraded the intercooler from Hybrid B&P...

4750

Here ya go. Installed by HDi, tested by JEM - hopefully there's some independance there.
