- Here is everything you need to now before you buy a Mazda speed 6! complete buyers guide! Any more question DM my Instagram @arejay136
Stock trans is strong. Many people in the 600+ hp club run stock transmission.
Yeah i should have been a little more clear and done some more research on that!
His comment maybe not by my current Mazda speed 6 until I seen yours
Blane Butler so the transmissions are actually strong?
It’s true, it’s the Tcase leaking oil is the problem.
@@MiguelReyes-jg1de sloazz6 has an 800whp build on a stock trans with a couple gears out of a gen 2, they're really stout cars, if this kid doesn't have a second gear it's because he shifted way too fast and hard into 2nd too many times
I had an '06 MS6-GT for about 7 years and 45k miles. They are definitely finicky cars, and a bit Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde to drive, particularly the heavy, prankster clutch. BUT they are unique and uncommon, and also look great while not being super heavy. I never had to replace the turbo on mine, and it worked up until the day I traded it in. But it did have the oil overrun issue that Mazda officially recognized. I never fixed that on mine, and it seemed to "grow" out of it around 9Xk miles.
Problems mine had:
Window regulators ($300 per door, and still didn't work right)
Window switches going out
VVT
5th gear broke a bit, had to shift slowly into that gear to avoid grinding
oil-into-turbo overflow and burn-off (the blue exhaust smoke after long idles)
Majorly fading/yellowing/scarring headlight lenses
Keyless entry went out (happens to ALL of these cars, not worth fixing)
The MS6 is a car that is best garaged and temp controlled in all types of weather because summer will beat the ever-loving tar out of the interior plastics and fitments. All told, it's like a poor man's/family man's M5 of sorts. It corners very flat and tight, and once the turbo is online, it pulls hard. But you do have to keep ahead of this car's quirks.
As a family sports sedan it's reliable enough that your SO won't rip your head off, though. The MS6 has AWD for inclement weather, room for 2 kids in back, enough trunk space, seat heaters for the wife, and a decent amount of tech goodies given its age, and the enthusiast-approved 6-speed manual trans-only drive train. It's also not bad on gas. My personal best was ~26 highway. Around town with a light foot 20-21 was my norm. And it remains the highest-HP factory car Mazda has ever produced before or since, if not the one with the most TQ.
Trans is glass? Looks like a driver mod is needed.
Agreed stock transmission handles 800+ hp. That doesn't include the clutch though
Great content buddy! I'm buying my first speed 6 this summer and I am so happy I found your guide! keep up with the great content and high energy.
More to come! thanks for the Sub!!!
Thanks for the video with all the information! I have been looking for mazda 6 mps and these kind of videos are very helpful!
hell yeah man!
I've been playing with the idea of a speed 6. The last high maintenance car I had was a 93 3000gt with 280 horse at the wheels.. just not sure if it's reliable enough to get but I also want something I can work on with my kiddo. But this video was as informative as any professional video I've watched. Well done.
Thank you, that just made my day!
Thanks for the vid! I’m about to go check out a single owner 80k mile one so it’s good to have a video like this
YES!
Very good info. Can a bad axel damage your transmission? Im having problems with the automatic transmission on my mazda 6. The damn thing works perfect until the AT light goes on, but if I restart the car, the light goes off and the car works perfect again for a couple of days.
"6:03... No AUX cord..."
The AUX cord port is located inside the lower center console near to the 12V power socket.
Not on a Speed 6, only the Speed 3.
There is aux install kit for speed6.
Im picking up my m6v6 05 next week, cant wait!
Would you buy this as a first car? 2007 speed 6
Thanks for the vid! It'll make my next meet for this car easier
Does the car come with a turbo when u buy one?? O:
k04 turbo? Same as Volkswagen ''big turbo'' ? Thanks for the reply!!!
I just had a Mazda 6 2.0 141hk It was an amazing car REALLY! i drove it so slow so it could get up to temp the good when and then i drove it hard everyday... crazy driven and even gettin it sideways... (no i know i didnt ''Drift'')... but overall its really reliable and lots of space at backseats...
Love my Speed6. Mines very unique from the others ive seen!
Is it the same for the 2.3L 4 cylinders?
So what are some of the more common failures on these cars
I've had my ms6 for 6 months now with a cold air intake and straight pipe and it's been running perfectly fine, do you think I need to get a high pressure fuel pump and/or access port or should I be fine?
Id always suggest that. HPFP is definitely the first thing you should do. If your going cat-less DP then yes for sure and you'll need a tune if you have that too!
I've got one stock and one complete after market! Love/hate relationship! Good video!
Thanks! Thats exactly how I feel!
How many hp u have?
Gracias , helpful info
Where u get the mazda merch from
I have always wanted one I have it's ancient ancestor as my daily for 19 years now. Check the rear diff mounts too they break easy but upgrade mounts are out there.
VERY good point mine is going out too!
What's the song called
Great video. This is some great info. I plan on buying a speed6 when I get back from deployment.
Thanks for your service man! Id love to see it!!!
I have big plans for it and a parts list already. The wife is down to build it with me too. I'll send pics once i get it
Do it!
You forgot about the VVT! Buyers need to know what the nasty startup sound is. Other than that great vids man! I just subbed
Thanks for the sub! yeah there a few things i noticed going back on this video maybe ill make an update in the future!
YES!!!!
If you are buying a boosted car and you are a car guy, when the turbo goes out, you just go big turbo!!!!
still waiting on daks build.....
As for my speed as soon as my k04 goes its bnrs4
Lmao see I’d do that but I blew my turbo on my 6.0 power stroke and that’s like 2grand soooo yeah time to sell it lol
I just bought this car ! I’m make sure I stay in 1st place 🏁🤘🏾
Hell yeah!!!
I need them sweaters! Great video
Ebay for the win! Thanks though bro!!!
Where did you get that black hoodie with arm graphics? Cant find on eBay
Thats where i got it bro haha
Well things I know are:
Timing chains fail if you fail to hear them. You can generally hear it on cold start from the right hand side of the engine bay sitting inside.
If you get your timing chain done, replace your VVT Actuator as those fail as well.
Engine mounts are pretty standard
Same goes for rear diff mounts, there are 2.
Transfer leaks are for free,
And front control arms are most likely split as most people neglect them. Note: there are 3 control arms per side (radius arm, lower control arm, and a upper control arm next to the front springs.
The trans in the speeds are actually VERY stout.... the synchros go out for 2 reasons... ppl that cant drive and ppl who dont change the trans fluid or use the improper fluid... if you get one properly taken care of they hold any amount of power thrown at them without issue
Yeah i bought mine with problems... She will be getting fixed up soon!
The MS6 can be hard to drive, though, speaking from experience. In stop-n-go traffic it's an absolute hassle of a car: heavy clutch and a lot of peddle modulation. Once there's space to run, it's great, but in close quarters it gets angry.
The other key to the drive train staying in good shape is the diff service. That's a solid $450 and several hours labor per 50-60k miles.
As for the aux cord, i seen the really expensive dash kit but you can just go to autozone and get a bluetooth one and it is perfect
Great to know ill check it out and do an instal video!!!!
Will you suggest buying a 2010 mazdaspeed 3?
YES! I love those cars!
Great vid broo mine is an '06 with keyless entry and u forgot about the Rear-Diffs problems in the video.. that's the most annoying problem on this car after the HPFP because the cars isn't AWD no more and only spins from 1st to 3rd gear...
Oh my gosh the struggle!!!
AREJAY136 Yaa bro that's fucked up😒
I've never heard of anyone actually hurting the rear diff other than destroying the rear diff Mount.
Great video
James Cox 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very informative video. Could you make a video about alternitives for mazda 6 mps.
I dig the idea!
Got a regular 2008 Mazda 6 is there any problem to come
Nothin but fuuuuun
i have a speed6 with carbon hood its possible to have some but worth a lot of $$$
Could you use an fm transmitter in this car ?
I'm pretty confident it should work, an FM transmitter just plugs into a cigarette lighter and outputs an FM signal of your choosing, all you have to do is tune your radio to the channel you chose and connect to the transmitter via Bluetooth.
Where did you get your second engine from mine blew up and I’m looking for another one also how much was it
I paid 6k at mazda what state are you in?
how many miles on stock engine?
As informative as this video is... People aren't likely to take you seriously with your car looking so bad and mistreat. Haha
tru
Having been in the Mazda scene a bit and seeing other Mazda enthusiasts' rides, this is kinda the norm. But it's still a step upward in upkeep from the 809s-90s Honda Civic crowd.
I had a speed6 with just a few basic bolt-on items and the differential went out after 28k miles... I loved the car but I couldn’t afford the maintenance at the time 😢
damn sad day :(
Did you have any issues with the fuel pump? Heard something about it being too weak for the direct injection.
are you talking about the stock fuel pump or the auto tech one?
@@RJilio The stock one
@@RJilio oh damn man, I completely missed that part of the video, my bad
That 6 looks rough :( good info tho, dont think you mentioned the VVT rattle on cold start up?
Yeah i forgot that one :( she hasn't been driven by me in 6 months so she will be getting fixed and pretty soon ill keep the fam updated
I’m looking at buying a MS6 with 97k miles for $6,000 what do you think about that? It’s got some rocket rust near the rear tires, but comes with full turbo back exhaust and cobb accessport.
thats a damn good deal! I scooped mine for 8k with 150k miles haha
AREJAY136 I’m really worried about it financially. I can get a regular Mazda 6 GT for $4k or under and I’d have some cash to spare if anything breaks. You think the S6 would be a money pit for me? Since I’d have to worry about turbo/awd components/mounts.
to be honest i have spent a good amount of money on up keep and fixing parts. but if you treat her nice it could be worse! but every car is different. I did also get a brand new engine from the dealership as well
Good shit bro
Well thanks to this video I finally took the upgrade ive been considering for over a year, i traded out my 04 Mazda 6 for a 07 Mazdaspeed 6.
ayeeeeee
I sold my 05 6 for a 07 Speed6 GT. VVT job is getting done right now, and a full valve job. $2300 later lol
@@sleeper.simulant7327 yaaaaaa thats a hard life of the mazdaspeed world
AREJAY136 might end up with a full supertech valvetrain if it’s only a few hundred more
crazy how a SPEED6 is the same price as a regular mazda 3. Great bang for your buck if you ask me.. I got a 3 just because I like the look better but it's no where near as fast as a speed6
haha the 3s are super cool though!!!
Hey man I just brought a 2006 Mazdaspeed6 for $200 it need a new engine where can I buy or get rebuilt it?
200$ ?? Are you kidding me?
Full engine corksport Dankai I believe. Worth it but expensive. Will take the abuse
06 speed 6 pearl white headache! and fun! under slightly heavy boost it shakes bad and if I stay in it a sec or two longer I run the p301 code cylinder misfire. I have a (supposedly) light aftermarket flywheel, cobe tuning, cai, cpe hpfp, and other goodies, I’m stumped on this car with this latest issue. Any suggestions? O and great video ,just subbed
thanks bro how old are the spark plugs
P301 can be A LOT of things.. from improper plug gap(needs to be from .026-.028) to a bad ignition coil... or something else
It sounds like the car needs a tune up bad. I would replace plugs and wires to start, maybe then clean out injectors.
I got a 3 sedan same engine as the 6 tiny bit smaller than the six but
cool vid, loving the mazdaspeed 2006 .
Thanks bro!
Would you recommend to replace the fuel pump with just minor mods like exhaust intake and bov
HPFP is a must on the ms6. Even on stock power, if WOT in 6th gear, you can fuel starve the car.
@@jacksonrieb1231 thanks man what would you recommend to replace it?
@@jakefester5190 The corksport or autotech hpfp internals. Neither are really better than the other.
one of the only good turbo cars allowed on Australian P plates ahahah
Reginal haha that’s pretty cool!
Fuck yeah just got mine yesterday, 170k KMs, one mature owner with full service history. My accessport is on the way, HPFP & intake+downpipe next. Love it to death already!
Dude seriously? I really want a speed6 but was pretty bummed cause I thought I couldn’t get one cause of its turbo, but apparently not? How’d you find out it’s P plate legal here? (From AUS and still on my Ps)
haha that is exactly why i'm looking to buy one
122kw/ton
but ofc, tuning exists, so.......... ez power
Ahah, fuck ya man. I love that Colorado Mazda sweatshirt 🤙🤘, good video too. I love my speed6, I got it about a year and a half ago, and keep upgrading it. When it's paid off, I plan on a full build, cause there aren't a lot of high hp speed 6 out there. I hope you still got yours too 🤘
Thanks for the sub more videos coming up this week!!!!
How much is a engine and transmission swap each. I’m looking at one with 161 miles and wondering to buy it
I know new engine swaps can be around 6k (thats what i paid for mine) and I've been quoted 1.5k-2k for a used tranny also depends if you do it yourself as well
So a used engine would a lot cheaper than a new one??
Or I have option for 08 mazdaspeed3 with 131
Nice video man
Thanks for the sub!!!
My 06 has tmic vent don't know why yours doesn't and I'm in California
I had them too but took them off after putting my front mount on.
Speed6's really are rare..ive only seen one. I see a lot of base model 6's but the speed models are pretty scarce from where i live
like bro!
I got a 2005 Mazda 6 stock making loud noise while driving
Quiet at idle
What could be the problem?
No vibration no burning no black smoke and still decent gas mileage
Is possibly the catalytic converter or motor mount
Thanx in advance
Chris Gordon could be a lot it is all depending where the noise is coming.
@@RJilio sounds like a exhaust problem then maybe clogged catalytic converter
Chris Gordon could be bad cats could be loose exhaust bolts would be my guess. can’t hurt to delete the cat or get a high flow. But I didn’t tell you that 🤫
Amazing video as always!
Very informative as I'm looking into buying one for a long time, however they are very hard to find in Germany 😥
Get one Shipped down from the states! I had a buddy do that when he was living in Germany! Well worth it! Thanks for the sub btw!!!!
AREJAY136 That's a nice idea! Do you happen to know how much that would cost and which company your friend "hired" to do that?
I'm currently owning a Volkswagen Polo built in 2001 which is very slow and looks kinda weird. Must be amazing to drive a speed6 as your first car 👌
This wasn't my first car its probably close to my 8th actually haha! let me see if i can get in contact with my friend to see how much it was and who he went through!
AREJAY136 That would be amazing. Thank you so much ✌
Im still waiting on a response bro i haven't heard from him yet :(
So I have a 2007 Mazda 6 Sport. Is the difference the engine?
Mine is a 2.3L turbo and AWD system
The Speed6 is quite different. It’s got more chassis support, bigger front brakes, stiffer suspension, AWD, and a direct injected 2.3L turbo that’s very different then the n/a 2.3 found in the regular 6. Yours being a 6 sport should have a 3.0L v6 and front wheel drive. Also the speed6 has different bumpers/rear diffuser, hood, lip spoiler and wheels when it comes to looks.
Driveitsideways 1 Alright cool, thanks!
Hey just saw this video because I was doing some research on the speed 6 I just got and I got questions lots of them
Joshua David Penner hell yeah man dm me!
Where do I do that
Joshua David Penner On IG!
Trans are very strong in these cars, but like any car is how you treat them and also wear and tear. Compared to Subarus and other cars like ours they are pretty reliable.
Yeah I should have clarified and done a little more research on this topic I was going more off of my personal stuff and what I've heard so apologies on that one!
Was thinking about buying a 2006 mspd6 in 2019, but now i am not so sure.
I would go for it!
A WRX is also plagued with problems. These types of cars are higher maintenance, that’s part of buying them
Hello do you think the mazdaspeed 6 would be a fun first car? Also i think you have great content
First off thank you!!! Second YES this car is what made me go cray about cars! I beg anyone to make this their first car! 6 speed manual turbo under 10k AWD perfect for a first car!
AREJAY136 thanks im probably going to get on in Arizona this summer
The car is a money pit. Not a good reliable first car to get. Its more of a project car if you want something different.
What kind of grill was that?
Luis Rock it was stock just painted
Do you know of any good grills I could buy online? I bought a Mazda 6 and want to be sure
Viagra might help with your personal issue of shaft play
How has your time with the car been? Looking to get one
brian stout it was great I miss it a lot
AREJAY136 I have a hatchback mazda3. And now I’m tired of doing stuff for looks I want some spool noise. Trying to decide
brian stout ya man you can always boost that or just sell that can scoop a speed 6 they aren’t very expensive
How heavy the hood is didn’t affect my decision
true haha
Corksport have everything for this car to tune it the right way!
I bought a 6MPS 2 weeks ago at 168000kms and.... turbo is now on its way out. Soooo i bought a corksport turbo
I'd love to hear how the CorkSport treats you! seems like everyone goes bnr!
I was gonna go bnr but the website i went through didnt have any in stock. most turbos are shipped from the usa for so it takes weeks or months to get parts. btw im from Australia
I was gonna say I live in Colorado so edge auto sports is a 45 min drive away from me!
Daniel Geraghty get a Garrett GT358R
Daniel Geraghty I'm about to put one in a 6 wagon 3.0L V6 with forged H beam connecting rods should be awesome
What the hell did you do to your Speed bro!!!! Good content.
Shes all cleaned up now haha
Got a Mazdaspeed3 and I wish I could find a good deal on a Mazdaspeed 6 cuz I buy one and have both
This dude deffo launched his car in second gear or did one of those famous money shifts.
Good first car? it uses a lot of fuel doesnt it?
To be honest i dont remember stock but it does take 91 which can get a bit pricey!
@@RJilio but.. is it a good first car?
Why does everyone forget about the 2005 speed 6's lol. Legit every aftermarket website completely ignores them. Just check the wiki, they started making em in 2005 lol.
My first one was a 2005. Called a MPS over here in Northern Ireland,
it put a connecting rod through the block, then I bought a low miler that was registered 2007, that one blew the tubo and transmission. Great cars to drive when alls well and nice looking car to if you have a clean one, but those engines are just too soft. I couldn't trust one again.
Can you give me websites for mods please.
DM me on istagram arejay136
Sup man just told u id sub from the mazdaspeeds of colorado group.
Thanks Bro!!!
kooky mazda small world😂😂
AM Media sup booberry
just bought my first MS6
One BigJay ayeeee
I have Mazda 3 2008 2.0L I set up turbocharged on Ebay and other SRS Exhaust that sound mix with WRX and Civic. I do know my transmission is stock 5 speed but I am worry if I am going for bigger turbo which Garrett GTX3076R. Do you think it is good idea to upgrade that big? My friend Honda Civic 1998 VTEC 1.5L has turbo tuned GTX3076R. Should I? It may be insane but I am not even joking.
El Ferdo Rivas I would go better clutch and flywheel just to be safe!
@@RJilio I have those set 5 mouth ago. It was Aftermarket. Seem I am clear!
While there are some good suggestions. There are some things wrong with this video. The transmission is actually very strong. Also these cars require regular oil maintenance. They aren’t a corolla. Keep the oil changes regular and it will be solid as fuck. I’m at 200,000km and the engine still has perfect compression on 26psi.
Sick! thanks for the suggestion ill make sure to make an update video in the future!
I thought my speed 6 was in bad condition until I heard all your problems :/
yeahhhh its not good haha
Strange, I've had my MS6 for 110,000 miles and the transmission still works just fine.
mines alomst at 200k so that might play a role
Thinking about buying one with 170k miles but was babied the first 163k. Should I still go for it?
Cameron Horstmann I would be very carful!
you forgot possible issue, VVT!
Very right!
What’s this issue ?
Want a speed6 to be my daily and complement to my rx8
yeah they are fun cars make sure its stock haha!
Just an ancient, saloon version of the new Focus RS. change my mind.
haha
Okay I would like to know where did you get your sweatshirt from zoom zoom 4 life😎💯💙👍
On my 3rd engine on my speed3.... still mazdaspeed all the way!
Thats the way to go!!!!
I have (had) a speed 6. threw a rod through the block of the stock engine 2000 miles after i got the car. Built it with a new block for 650whp and spun a bearing 8k miles in. Fuck the platform.
Cetraphal Damn dude RIP. Spun a bearing though? Bad rebuild :(
Sick ass hoodie
Thanks!!!!
Thanks for all the info! love my mazdaspeed 6. I got mine for $3900 with 123k miles
Anytime brother!
AREJAY136 hey bro I need some of your help. Im trying to find a stage 2 clutch thats includes flywheel. I got $500. I found some they are ACT amd it cost $850. Idk if you can give me a hand please.
what do you need help with man!?
AREJAY136 im looking for a clutch stage 2 thats includes flywheel like i said I got $500. Idk if you can find one and send me the link because I can’t find one. There are some but they cost $850 or more. Sorry if its too much to ask
Only thing I can find is OEM for under that price range...
Lol'd at all the broken features on your car. But hey, your a teen with most likely a first car. My far car(98 Integra) had so many broken features on that thing
haha yeah well between me and you I was 21 but it is wayyy better now haha
well thanks you talked me out of buying one lol
whoops
They look dated I would rather but the Mazda Speed 3 or the latest skyactive Atenza turbo Mazda 6
I need a new engine for mine
NOOOOO!!!!!!!
I have had nothing but awful luck with mine. 3 engines, 2 transmissions....never again.
I'm on my second engine and bout to be on my second tranny!
