Hello all. Well about 2.5 years ago i decided i wanted an MPS 6 and last weekend i purchased one.
I now understand what you all were ranting on about
Here are some quick images - ill do some better ones soon.
One thing i have noticed is that when i shift from 0->1, 1->2, 2->3 and sometimes 3->4 there is a 'clunk' in what i believe is the rear diff......
It doesn't seem to matter what speed i am going, how hard / soft i shift or anything else. From reading around the forums here it seems like i might need to replace my diff mounts....
I have looked into it and found these two might be best......
Mazda MazdaSPEED6 xFlexâ„¢ Rear Differential Mount | cp-eâ„¢
Products | Turbine Tech
anyone have any thoughts on these two?
In any case, i plan on having this car until it falls apart and it is time to get modding. I don't plan on driving hard, but i do plan on having fun where i can and am looking to get these mods done initially:
- Front engine mount $299.00 Products | Turbine Tech
- Rear engine mount $109.99 Mazdaspeed 6 Rear Motor Mount by CorkSport
- Rear Sway Bar $199.99 CORKSPORT Mazdaspeed 6 Rear Swaybar
- Short Ram Intake $249.99 Mazdaspeed 6 SRI | Stage II Power Series Short Ram Intake
- Cold Airbox For SRI $89.99 CORKSPORT 'Power Series' Air Box For The SRI System
- Turbo Back Exhaust System $1,217.99 CORKSPORT MS6 | Back Exhaust System
- Rear Differential Mount $269.00 Mazda MazdaSPEED6 xFlexâ„¢ Rear Differential Mount | cp-eâ„¢
- Front Differential Mount $239.00 Products | Turbine Tech
All these prices are American so i don't know what it would actually cost me...
What are your thoughts + other recommendations?
Thanks guys!
