The Mazdaspeed 6 is Mazda's answer to the WRX but we couldn't find any on Facebook Marketplace so uh 

Amazing intro yeah

Hes absolutely right about the fnf panasonic boxes, that would NOT fly in LTL freight. No sir that loader gettin a stern fingee wagged at him lol.

A modern day Speed 6 would be sick....if the Mazda 6 was till being made.

Diamante definitely had charm two decades ago and still looks good today. Accord to the Mirage? 🤔

@@person.w9780 It wasn't as performance focused but they did have a turbo option for 2 years in the third gen. That was a drop dead gorgeous sedan and the wagon we never got was just as stunning. Excellent to drive, too. I miss cars. I was reading about the GM-developed Acura ZDX EV today and decided I hate the car industry of today.

@@Marzimus I did get a pearl white 2002 Diamante eventually, just not that one. Great car. Still like the styling. Built like a tank. Neat features (like Trace Control, a proto-ESP that reacted to front wheel speed and used the brakes to keep your intended arc through a turn). One of the few super popular 90s Japanese quasi-hardtops that we got in the US, along with the ES300. And one of the few Australian built cars imported to the US

@@person.w9780 in theory the modern cx60 chassis supports rwd, could build a pretty cool sedan off of that

i brought a beat back!

They are wonderful cars and all the common "don't buy because" issues are literally owner maintenance issues 😭

Is the turbo in good condition? These usually have turbo bearing failure, it has a bad design from the factory. I would check the impeller for play or see if it has been contacting the housing and shaving bits off.

@@SI0AX That's completely false. Stop spreading false information. They have an OIL SEAL issue from over oiling. Can be fixed with an oil restricting banjo bolt or upgrading to any better turbo. Ko4 is a useless turbo anyway dropping power after 5k rpm.

@@Sprier That is just one of the issues this turbo has. The banjo bolt is a work around to restrict oil flow so the damaged seals don't get pressurized to the point it leaks into the exhaust. Another workaround is to raise the idle RPM so that vacuum decreases at idle. The main issue I was referring to is the engineering failure part of making the shaft too long leading to too much strain on the shaft bearing leading to premature failure that then causes the impeller to grind on the housing and send metal bits into the engine. This is why rebuilt MS K04's only have a 1 year warranty because it's just going to quickly fail again anyway. You can search it up, there is a whole explanation and no other turbo in the market has as long a shaft as the K04 MS turbo's. Once you swap out the turbo you won't have that premature bearing failure, nor seal leaks, nor have to raise idle RPM or use an oil restrictor bolt, nor change to a heavier oil like from 5W-30 to 5W-40. Nothing I have said is false information. Edit: BTW the power falling after 5K RPM is because the electronic throttle body begins to close after 5K RPM to reduce the turbo speed and this is another story as to why the K04 was an engineering failure. The K04 actually had premature failure since before the Mazdaspeed platforms were released from tests. The turbos are Hitachi and Hitachi contracted a separate engineering company to figure out why the turbos were failing, I forgot the name. What the R&D company found was that the turbo was overheating from being spooled at high RPM so the fix was to make the throttle close after 5k RPM to reduce the turbo rotation speed and prevent premature death. Some people tune out the throttle closure and cause the K04 to die even faster(I ended up doing this very thing and had to swap out my turbo to a BNS S3 pretty early).

@@SI0AX long reply doesn't make right reply, not reading that but I did see s3 in there so even you're smart enough to replace the ko4.

New ads "soon"

we on the come up 😤

I'd argue the WRX is worse. For starters the Transmission is STI level strong where the WRX has a weak transmission that is torque limited to like 400HP or something. Mazdaspeed 6 can do 1000HP from just a clutch upgrade. Clutch dropping will destroy any transmission and is also a poor way to launch the car anyway especially it being AWD. WRX will die from very few clutch drops, MS6 can survive almost on the same level as STI. The engine is also a bit more reliable, not perfect, you can't change the intake and drive without a tune without blowing the engine. I'd say both blow the same when modded without tunes but the STI has a lower life span in general.

@@SI0AX Fair enough, all I know is I have a ej255 that I just finished an engine rebuild on and my buddy's MS6 engine just blew up, and my other friend has a MS3 that just got a new transmission so at the end of the day they seem to be about the same. The sad part is all these cars are just getting older and good examples are harder to find.

@@My.Lame.Perspective Yeah, you can have a stock tune in both WRX and MS6 and blow the engine from low RPM full throttle, like full throttle in 6th gear doing 70 mph with RPM's below 3,000. Turbo cars don't like low RPM unless it's a diesel. The transmission in a MS3 is pretty weird since it's FWD and only comes in manual. The transfercase between MS3 1st gen and MS6 is exactly the same, so that is pretty weird. I have no clue what the hell could have broken unless he did a brake job and did a poor bleed procedure leaving air in the line making the clutch not engage properly and grinding the hell out of the gears.

okay okay i'll put it on a post it note right here and then DEFINITELY do it

Really you could watch a highlight reel of 1,2 and Tokyo drift just for the meme quotes and you'd be 99% there

Just watched superfast 2015 with kid. Criminally underrated. Again, forgot a few lines. Hilarious

ty bro

Everyone has always said the V6 was the most unreliable engine it was well know even when the car first came out. It was a Ford V6. Ford makes some pretty garbage V6's.

Superfast 2015. Hilarious!!!!!!!

boooooo

if you watch through the first race, which is maybe ten minutes in, and it doesn't hook you, man i don't know what to say

gaaaaaaay

There’s a white one in north Georgia moving around owners as well, but on a 91 ford chassis and a 302

I've road raced a ptgt turbo. It's awesome passing corvettes. Heavy and terrible rear end.

You watch 70% of the entire car RU-vid sector? Holy sh!t bro you must do nothing but sleep 4 hours a day and watch mid car content :/

@@Emira_75 only even a slight exaggeration

Im at a close 40% i think

NIMBUUUUSS

@@wr1ght939 😶‍🌫

Time for a forged internal rebuild! Probably piston rings 💀

I've got one with 31k miles rust free and making about 400 wheel horsepower on the stock motor :)

ur pfp looks exactly like the lesbian flag lol

These are even rare in Japan, like I can only find 5 on the market, surprisingly they are all in good condition and charging for around 6000 grands. I guess first gen mps3 and mps6 are rare gens.

Yeah, they are mostly an inclusive community.

He easily has the best job out of any of us

@@CollectorCarFeed A legal one?

The insurance advantage is no joke, in 2013 I was quoted ~$1.2k/yr, but for a same model year WRX worth exactly the same price, I was quoted over $4k/yr.

Engine is easy to work on and it’s the same engine as the speed3. Drop 6k and you already have a 600hp Daily car

@@carlossantamaria7967 Idk about that. I had one, and I priced it out to be around $7k minimum, to make it bearable, let alone get big power out of it

All I really know about foxbodies is that if there's two cars lined up and one of them's a foxbody, you bet on the foxbody LX notchback is the cloutmobile, but everybody knows the hatchback GT looks sick anyway, and only Puchii would ever advocate for an automatic under any circumstance

The AWD is so underrated. I would go full throttle in the shittiest road in the worse weather and that thing would pull hard in a perfectly straight line. I totaled it and now daily a LS430 than is RWD, has like 30% less power, and that car always fishtails even slightly in the best road in the best condition with the same tires I had on the Speed 6. AWD is a lot more impressive than people think. I got a Honda CRX and don't really want to even turbo it because it doesn't seem worth it unless I convert to AWD which is too expensive. I would rather build another Speed 6.

skyline blvd takin all the best cars ong

nice try buddy
