1993 Mazda MX6 LS review from North America
"Rare to find one, but when you get your hands on it do not let go!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car for 2500 from my friends dad and it had a bad tyranny, bad brakes and rotors. since I had I had to replace the timing belt, water pump, and mass airflow senser. just like all mx6's my senser went out which one I do not know went bad and it felt like I had v-tech which was not good. also the infamouse pinion problem. all are fixed now and is running smoothly.
General comments?
I love this car and would like to turbo it one day. so far I have bought cold air intake, 21/2 magnaflow cat-back exhaust, added ground wires, new vaccume hoses, high performance gaskets, headers with a downpipe, light weight flywheel and crank pully, stage 3 racing clutch, shortshifter,. I took the leather back seats out and stripped the interier the only thing I have is one leather drivers seat, I couldnt throw it away, its too comfortable.. weird I know... I have the mazdaspeed lip kit and side skirts.. don't worry its not anywere near the ricer invador kit.. I just added the big brake kit and came with drilled rotors it's a lot smoother. I kept the stock size tires and got light weight 15 inch rims.. the tires are great they are bf goodrich racing tires.. very nice. when changing the gaskets for kicks I painted the 2 valve covers blue and the engine its self black.. I try to gey pics up soon
all in all a very great car and was worth putting money into watch out for the pinion problem and the steering problem, also the senser. mazda is the way to go.
