1993 Mazda MX6 LS review from North America
"Fastest car I have yet owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Parts I have replaced very shortly after purchase:
My distributer failed.
The timing belt and tensioner failed.
My water pump began weeping.
Crankshaft position sensor failed.
The PCM decided to go on a big smoke break.
Battery has completely drained.
Thermostat got completely stuck closed.
Parts that still need replacing:
Upper radiator hose.
Front tire. (blowout)
Door panels not secure.
Rear brake caliper.
Trunk Lid.
General comments?
I purchased my car from a private owner. It has weight reduction in the rear, a 9,000 mile rebuilt V6, cone filter, strut bar, factory NGK wires and plugs, perfect street car.
This car has a few kills under its belt:
Honda civic turbo.
Nissan 240sx.
Honda Prelude.
1995 Chevrolet truck.
1995 7.3 F-350 Power stroke.
This V6 revs so high, its for real.
I had a dream last night of hitting the secret fuel cut. (7800rpms)
Oh, and trying to launch at 3K rpm on bald street tires is a big no-no with this car!!!
