I'll get more pictures later, but this should be a good point to start from.

win, joe, win. now just work on getting those enkei's, a drop, blackhoused headlights, and tint and you'll be good

edit: front plate delete and a lip wouldnt hurt either

[Brandoncb7]

When can I come by and get those projectors out of it lol? Nice car! I used to want one of those.

[coletrain]

Nice purchase. Do you have any plans for it?

[deevergote]

The 6 is a nice car. tonymontana just got a Mazdaspeed6 (I pushed him towards it... he wanted cop cars... ) and he loves it.

Was your ebrake handle chewed on?

[PUMASTi]

Good Choice, lots of aftermarket support for the regular 6. Everything is super expensive for the speed.

[Lynx]

Nice dude, congrats on the 6! I just started working at Mazda a month ago and I might buy an 04 Mazda6 Wagon, still thinking on it tho, lol. Its got leather and its a 5 speed.. hrm...

[quakerjoe]

Great car so far! Ride is smooth and the motor has some guts.

My plans for it include-
wheels and tires
lip kit
mazdaspeed drop
roll the fenders
fix the e-brake handle that was chewed on
better looking exhaust tips/exhaust
and a tsx retro (the stock projectors suck)
and one of the color matched stock grills

oooh manual...I like!

I've always liked the Mazda6, nice choice! Being a 5-speed, I assume you have the 2.4? 4-cylinder?

[deevergote]

What 2.4L 4 cylinder?

oh, that sucks. did the v6 come auto only? i feel the pain, stupid tl-s

[deevergote]

It's a 2.3. 160hp.

The V6 is only a 220hp Ford Duratec anyway, so it's really nothing special. I'd prefer the 2.3L myself.

It probably wouldn't take much to convert that 2.3L to Mazdaspeed specs. It's pretty much the same engine.

[quakerjoe]

No, I have the 3.0L v6 in this baby. Although I have heard that people like to autocross the 2.0L and 2.3L 4 cyl 6's, because their handling is quite fantastic. (They do quite well too.)

Very true. It depends all on what your futrue plans are. If you want to turbo, then you most likely should get the 2.3L. If not, then v6 is most likely the way to go. Apparently, the v6 sees significant power gains from a cold air intake, much like the K-series in the newer Hondas.
