My name is Brad and i own a 2005 Mazda6 3.0L V6

...before the drop...


after the drop









mazda6 meet

 

....ive always like these cars, but you have the wrong forum buddy

 

leave him be

I don't have a Maxima either

Looks nice dude. I was looking at the MazdaSpeed 6's the other day, unfortunately they don't handle too much power without needing internals correct or am I wrong?

You should paint the calipers next too with the rims

 

the calipers will be painted before the new wheels go on....

as far as the speed6, they can be hit or miss... some can handle power, some like to break and smoke a lot.... you can't go wrong w/ the V6 though.


122xxx miles on mine so far, and still running strong

 

Welcome.

I wasn't trying to be a serious *** the other day, by the way. I was just being a smart-***.

Any details on that meet you have coming up yet? Or did I miss them in the SE forum?

 

no i have not posted the info yet.... final details are still being worked out...


once i get the info, i will make a new thread in the SE section

 

nice 6, my neighborhood has a mazdaspeed 6, i like

 

nice car man looks great! the drop really sets it off, keep us posted on the upgrades. dont listen to anybody who gives u crap for it not being a nissan or anything we are all here to help in any way we can, welcome to the forum!

 

thanks guys... i'll keep this thread updated as i make more progress

 

Nice drop. Not feeling the HD lip though.

 

Looks good. I really like the Mazdaspeed varieties.

 

Very nice.

 

car looks good..I like the overall aggressive shape of the mazda 6s but I still dont think they can compare to a 5th gen maxima...looks maybe but tuning potential I'm just not sold..thats my 2cents..g/l with the modding!

 

thanks man...

i dunno about the tuning part... a buddy of mine currently is the owner of a 305whp twin turbo 6s... running around 6.5psi

the 3.0L Duratech is the same motor used in the Noble M12 pushing 360hp

 

i dont like anything thats a derivative of ford without a ford symbol on it

 

not bad, but every time i think of mazda i think of a japanese ford. poor in quality and reliability...

 

no maxima, no care......

 

CPE MAF-ci intake installed today... didn't get time to wire the tuner up though....

 

35w 6000K HIDs installed, tuner installed.... Front and Rear Sway Bars ordered

 

Nice...I almost bought the same car a few years back. Personally, I think that in stock form, they're fine as is and don't need any other notable exterior treatments since they already have a factory body kit and decent wheels...

 

RacingBeat Front and Rear Sway Bars came to my house yesterday.... once the AWR endlinks get here, these will be going on the car.... just another step closer to being ready for the track

 

I do actually like the looks of the Mazda... just not sold on having to hit the dealership for so many parts that they know could be sold at a regular parts store... they do have a good aftermarket following though...

Good Luck with your mods and welcome to the .org

 

i was lookin into a mazda speed 3 before I purchased my 2005 SL.. glad I didn't buy the mazda. heh... welcome!
