Mazda MX-6?
Pimped Out 4 LYF

I have a question. Why arent there many modded up Mazda MX-6's on the road? Well actualy ive never even seen a fixed up one ever. They seem cheaper in price so why arent the ricey people buying these? I agree the horsepower sucks, only 118. But overall why doesnt any1 buy these cars and mod them up? Is there no aftermarket parts or what?:confused:

Dont foget the 1st gen turbos, which is a very rare fine. mine has 4WS which is crazy rare. Thats true aftermarket parts dont really exist for my car. Most of my stuff is custom besides the exhaust although it is now
Heres my 6
It has a different muffler now

The four cylinder horse is terrible 118 HP....about 98 to the wheels...thats just said ....trust me I know from experience
There is nothing like trying to pass across a double yellow line cuz its ur first day with the car and u still think its fast and nearly having a head on cuz u couldnt get back in time...Did I mention my car is ATX four cyl....BOOOOOOO
I'm not raging on the 6 by any means...I really wish I waited and shopped around I would have gotten a 5 speed LS (those can move)
The coolest thing about the 6 is its a pretty rare (or at least not extremely common car) so if you deside to hook it up you will definitly turn heads :cool:

Just happened to wander to your forum from mine (Mitsu Eclipse) and wanted to let you know about my friend's '89 MX-6. We were at the drag strip last night and he was clicking off CONSISTENT 13 second runs. There are parts available, you just have to track them down. :cool:

Gotta remember they stopped making these in '97, and the whole production numbers are only a fraction of Honda's and other ricer's.
I see alot more Probes on the road, compared to the 6. I just like the looks of the Mazda better. I have a '93 and like the fact that I don't have OBDII.

I have been looking around for some time now for a car that i could mod and for awhile i thought the only way to go these days was with some type of a honda. But i found a mx6 LS v-6 on autotrader and looked up some info on it and took it for a test spin and that thing was quick! Just bought it today! The thing i like about it is that you rarely see a stock one driving around in St. Louis let alone one with mods so i like the fact that what i do to mine and having one would be a unique thing. And if you take the time and sit down and look for parts for one you'll actually find alot of places selling mazda parts and such. (www.mx6.com is a great place to start your search)

I really don't see many 6's around here but that's what I like...I feel like I'm being unique and yeah my car can move and it's N/A 5 spd...I've seen plenty of mods for my car as well, but there are more for 2nd gen.

Personally I love my 1st Gen 6. It was reasonably priced and with the excepton of a new clutch has been trouble free, which is great since it has 146k on it. I did find a lack of mods for the base 4 cylinder, and decided after a little looking that it would be better just to buy a GT model when this one gets on its last legs. Good tires and sparks have been very helpful and of course very little work.
It has been a peppy little car and I've handed out some beatings to newer DOHC Saturns (everyone in Buffalo with a Saturn coupe seems to think they're great). Went toe to toe with a V6 2001 Monte Carlo and have beaten a 2001 V6 Cougar (I can't help wondering if he was gave up trying though...). I owe this to having the five speed and the car having a light body. So while I have been spanked a few times, I would recommend it as a cheap and fun used car, besides I think they look spiffy.

eventhough it seems like mx6's hp is not all that, these cars can race, especially in street, these babies have super handling and acceleration. I have both a 2nd gen 4 cyl.mx6 and a 2nd gen LS with 2.5 v6. I have exhaust/chip/intake and stuff,
this car can move and I dont see any honda product coming near the mx6's value.
cheap
extremely reliable
fast
a lot of mods ( including the available 200 hp KLZE JAPANESE engine)
unique
