Indeed! 8)

I still havn't posted up a profile for it. Wanted to give it a clean this weekend and take some new pics with my new camera!

It's awesome though. The drive is just so refined, definitely has a rasp of a V6 to it when you give it some. But normal idle and cruising you wouldn't even know the engine is on. I have one issue with the keyless entry system to sort with the garage and that's it. Spoke to a local Mazda service guy genuinely and he struggled to come up with any common faults with these. They mainly see them in for general servicing and wear and tear parts. Plus the 2.5 MZR engine has a timing chain - no belt to replace at 60k, which is lucky as I bought it with 50k on the clock. It kicks out nearly 170hp and 0-60 is about 8 seconds. Not to be sniffed at for a car of this size.

Also the hour or so drive back from Bridgend, Wales it only drank 1/4 of a tank, miles better than the lude back in the day, so think on cruise control at 70 it can reach 40mpg. More than I had hoped for. The Scooby would be mid 20's. I know I wasn't bothered, but I can't deny how much this will save me.

Love it!

I'll update soon. :twisted:

I said I wouldn't touch it, but I'm already looking at different wheels, skirt kits, lowering kits, and some basic breathing mods. :facepalm:

I'm liking this lip kit - yet to find what it is:

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=mazda+ ... x=32&ty=70

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=mazda+ ... x=82&ty=41

Also note he has painted the roof black much like my prelude. The last two bodywork issues I need doing is some lacquer peel/odd stone chip on the bonnet and the roof has some stone chips and something has been dropped on it and made a small dent with a line that has penetrated the paint. I had a SMART repairer tidy this up so it wouldn't rust, but I'd like it pristine. A black roof could be an option for cheaper paint? :?

You not signed up to a Mazda 6 forum and introduced yourself yet?! :o :lol: I'm sure they'd be able to tell you what that kit is ;-)
