    How-To Mazdaspeed6 Fluid Notes & DIY Pictures

    The OP says to, "Please do post corrections or suggestions". Well, here is what I'm using, you can feel free to ignore if you like... First, the OP gives cartridge filters. It doesn't list options for people with spin-on. In the case of spin-on, you have the choice of standard length, about...

    DAMOND MOTORSPORTS MAZDASPEED WATER OUTLET MANIFOLD

    Just for comparison, here is the stock water manifold. The most obvious difference is the Damond eliminates the EGR appendages. Well, that and the pink color... Since I don't need the EGR block off plates anymore, I'll just give them away for shipping. I will post in the for sale section.

    Racethetix MS6 Tucked A/C line

    One last post on this topic. Chad sent me a photo of how the V2 should be installed. I'm sure it must be able to be made to work. But again, my shop insisted it was just too short and would hit the pulleys. Yet I'm sure Racethetix has successfully installed V2's. So, I guess the issue must...

    Racethetix MS6 Tucked A/C line

    So I got the new A/C line installed. My original post above had some bad information so I have corrected it. As far as the installation, it’s totally hidden. You can't hardly even see it in the picture with the turbo, it is heading down and around. I initially got the V2 hose but my shop...

    Racethetix MS6 Tucked A/C line

    Very little activity in this forum, first thread besides the vendor introduction thread... So, I was needing some A/C work done, so I figured if I'm having to have work done I might as well get the Racethetix MS6 Tucked A/C line. Not something I had to have, but I figured I might as well get...

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    If you have Corksport, look at my photos. I think the answer will come to you. If you have SPC, they look solid to me.

    DAMOND MOTORSPORTS MAZDASPEED WATER OUTLET MANIFOLD

    Ah crap! Thanks for noticing! I initially hand-tightened it, and I guess I forgot to re-tighten it. I hadn't refilled yet, so thanks for letting me know!

    DAMOND MOTORSPORTS MAZDASPEED WATER OUTLET MANIFOLD

    So, I finally installed the water manifold. Honestly, it's cool and all, but is it really worth the money, trouble? I'm not sure, but it's nice. EDIT: I put the manifold in my signature.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    Right, but what I’m out is, towing, replacing the rear trailing arm which got damaged, replacing the tire, labor, etc. I’ve never tried calling them, as I know I’m not likely to get anywhere. But I still think CS owes me this.

    MS6 HID headlights

    Well, here's the deal. This is the link I bought them from: Clear Headlight Lens Cover Headlamp Front Left & Right Fit For 2003-2008 Mazda 6 | eBay But I wound up not actually using them. I wound up just reusing my originals. I figured someday I might go back and use them, but after you...

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    Look again at the side-view, where I have the parts about 1/8" apart. It looks almost exactly the same as the one that isn't failed. It does look something was done, some waviness. Looks like an attempt at a weld to me. Just not much of one. Though I'm no expert, I'm not a welder. CorkSport...

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    I sent a first email to Corksport with the first set of pictures, and mentioned the expenses I was having. As I said, they responded that they would be willing to give me another unit out of the goodness of their hearts, but they explicitly state that ancillary costs are not covered. When I...

    Has anyone installed the nav system in the non nav model?

    Your car, your choice. Though I don’t personally see much value in retaining a stock look in a nearly 20 year old car. Up to you. Now clean, not showy or gaudy, that I totally understand.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    Yes. That part is not an issue on mine. I updated my signature to reflect recent changes to my equipment.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    I agree that it should get back to Corksport. But I am reluctant to part with the evidence before they reimburse me my $1700.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    I'm not a welder either. But yeah, I kinda noticed that... I might let someone else do that if they wanted to.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    I couldn't possibly care any less that they offered a replacement. It's a POS. What I want is $1700. The parts recalled. And pay everybody else who has these to put something else on. Yes, turns out you are correct, they were welded. But it's basically tack-welded. Okay, here are some...

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    So I just got my car back. And near as I can tell it’s just a press fit that worked loose. (EDIT: No, it was welded, just poorly.) I’m no engineer but the SPC design looks much better to me. It’s basically one fewer piece. On the SPC, the gizmo that screws to adjust the length screws directly...

    Has anyone installed the nav system in the non nav model?

    I don’t know about the specific unit Raider has, but Android head units are not known for sound quality. That said, some Android head units have optical output. If you pair it with an amp or DSP with optical input, you should get good quality. oh, and Bose is overrated. I’m half tempted to cut...

    Just ordered SPC MS6 rear camber arms from Edge

    I've never bought from Edge before. But they came thru, I got my camber arms overnight. The SPC arms certainly look stout.
