    Hey everyone! New, not so new to the Speed community. I've been member since 2010 through MOCC and the older mazdaspeedforum (k3n). I've owned a 2006 Speed 6 starting at 40,000 miles. I bent a rod at 56,000 and did an engine rebuild. After the rebuild, I've been chasing down gremlins in the engine bay from exhaust leaks, backed off bolts, and (recently) unseated fuel injectors. Even through all these trials, my car still brings a smile to my face!

    Things done so far:

    Cobb SF Intake
    JBR inlet tube (replacement)
    Autotech HPFP internals
    ETS TMIC
    Grimspeed EBCS
    Stratified Manual Boost Dial
    BNR Stage 3 Turbo
    Forge BPV
    Cobb Accessport
    Whiteline Rear Swaybar
    CP-E xFlex Rear Differential Mount
    SPC Front Ball Joint

    Welcome and glad to see another speed 6 guys around! I love mine and it has been a problem child to an extent lol It is worth it and I would say they are reliable with stock setup but modding creates more stuff to worry about

    Thanks all. Yeah, I joined in 2016 and life took over. I believe 2016 was when I had to do a suspension overhall. If it was a ball joint or CV axle, it had to be replaced. Drove for about a year, then the injectors decided to try and run away. That said, she's been running alright now. Been playing it safe at 13psi. Once I hammer a few things out and funds come back, I want to push it a little harder.
