It is just about to hit 200,000.
Whenever my car gets a bit noisy in regard to the tappets, I have been putting an oil flush through during the oil change. This seems to have eliminated the diesel like tappet noise. It's definitely...
I have just been through the find a tyre business and ended up with a set of Toyo Proxes C1S. They are a new design that is a luxury tyre and as such are quite and good wearing.
They cost me about...
This is something I might consider looking into further as I do recall when I got Mazda to look at it under warranty as it had caused a check engine light (mis-fire cylinder 1 - I think). They...
I have still not solved the problem with my car. Sorry.
An interesting side note on cheap tyres. I have spent a bit of time looking at tyres over the last week.
St George Tyres and some other firms (possibly Tempe) sell parallel imports. I got the tip...
Is there anything 2XS doesn't do....I was also thinking of pole dancing in fish nets. Can you help 2XS. :p
Just Kidding.
Good to know, thanks for that mate.
Thanks for all the great advice, I will search around with these suggestions. St George deliver to Brissie for $65 for 4 tyres. That's cheap.
Compared to the stock Bridgestones I could save over...
I have been reading up on tyres on here as my tyres on the 6MPS are nearly gone, however I am reading stuff like $200 fitted for tyres like Hankook Ku31's.
I did a ring around Brisbane but I was...
Fumes happen even when moving.
Spoke to the mechanic again today and he will have a look at the seals when he pulls the dumppipe off next week.
I think I will save up for the transfer case...
I took my beast to the mechanic today to see where oil was leaking from, and why I could smell fumes through the ac.
Turns out that somewhere on the turbo is leaking air/oil fumes. It will go...
The boys at work reacon ultratune at indooroopilly are ok, so I will give them a go as they are 5 mins from work. I just want some things looked at, not just service. gragy I may take you up when its...
I have started a new job located in Taringa. Does anyone recommend a good mechanic nearby or should I just take my car to centenary mazda ?
Stuartmp , Greg was talking about my car. I have the King super lows which only lower the car about 30mm, and the bilsteins made to suit lowered springs. If you like you can come have a bit of a look...
FYI. I just checked and the instructions that came with the 6MPS mount (different to the 3MPS one) says 68 to all bolts.
And I can recommend the 2XS short shift.
Good luck with it.
I have Bilstein which are made for the lowered springs.
They are a good match to the type of the car the 6MPS is (luxury sports).
I am very happy with them, and they...
2XS, I wish the Chiptorque tune fixed my hesitation ;-(
Welcome Troy! I love my 6 MPS (and it's a velocity red one as well), enjoy.
I also have a hesitation issue with my 6. It usually occurs on slight acceleration in 2nd or 3rd gear between 2-3500 rpm.
After posting on this forum I cleaned the MAF with cleaner which made a...
He has not yet taken the car to them, so it is simply a standard 120k service quote.
He has now called another dealer and got an $850 quote. Seems like his normal dealer is having a bit of a lend...
A mate has an SP23 and asked for a quote on the 120k service.
They replied that it would be $1,100.
Does this seem correct. Apparently this is a major service and includes changeing the...
I got the Kings off Shakepeare and I still have them in. I do like the King Springs. It lowers the car about 30mm which gives it a nice look on the road. Handling wise it decreases the rear end squat...
I will give it a chance for sure.
The mount is a 75 duro, so perhaps I should have gone the 60.
I might also check with the mechanic that they torqued the bolts correctly as I read another...
I decided to put a rear engine mount in to improve the driveability and gear shift to my 6 MPS.
Impressions are mixed, but on the whole not great:
1) The vibes when the A/C cuts in, which...
I have had a bit more time to see how the new dampers perform, and I love them.
The car rides over small bumps much better, its not a massive difference but its probably 20% better. It feels much...
+1 for diff whine at 75kph to 80 kph.
I'm used to it now and hardly notice it anymore. I asked my dealer to look into it and got a 'the last 6MPS we had in had it and we replaced the diff and it...
