flag, availble<br>with no logos, i embroided mazdza
mx-6 on mine, or <br> i have done several no. plates

help.<br><br> sam
I see you used my picture billyam_99!<br>how does
it look people. Give us a yell as I'm new to digital
photo editing...<br><br>It would be good to have a car
that low but in your case and by the way i have done
it, i believe it would scrape just a little (read
scrape HEAPS).<br><br>For anyone who wants to know i
used paint shop pro 7 from jasc software and just
freehand selected the body then lowered the selection.
Pretty easy to do. Oh and if you look i had to build
part of the front tyre cause it got obscured by the
front guard.<br><br>Lensmanoz
OK. I will get the ball rolling. I own an '89
model 4WS white MX6. As of yet, i have no major
modifications done yet, the only mods i've completed so far, is
a new intake system, 3inch which begins as a double
intake at the begining. One pipe under the
bumper(scrapeage) and one behind the left fog light.(can be seen in
photo album magicmx62 'outside of work'.) This then
lets the o2 through a K&N air filter. I also have a
pod filter setup. Using a Simota pod filter, bolted
straight to the AFM. This setup is only for
show(Kookaburra noise.)and is setup in such a way that it can be
bolted on in a matter of minutes. The exhaust has a
couple of high speed holes in the rear muffler, always
handie!!I have also got a front strut brace which i fitted,
makes a world of a difference with just the stock
suspension! The interior modifications benefit from a new
Alpine double din head unit(thanks jayson!), Philips
front splits(thanks jim), rear Boston splits(thanks
jayson!)And a surplus of front and rear Alpine DDDrive
speakers which are not installed in the vehicle as such.I
also have a very cheap sub($40 from superheap) and a
couple of superheap amps to run the system.All up the
system in the car is worth around $2500. not including
the Alpine DDDrive speakers. I also installed a light
weight plastic cup holder, for thoes drift sessions when
you cant hold the cup yourself! An Autometre Boost
gauge, and mixture metre. The mixtre metre gives me
plenty of stares as to what the moving light is!! The
exterior is basicly a stock mx6. No mags, not lowered, but
will be dropped two inches for handling purposes, just
gotta get struts! I have numerous photos up, but check
out the latest, i got my vehicle lowered, and it
looks like a badass cruiser!!! Change the intake and
exhaust, and you've got a car that just loves to change
gears with the press of a foot!
OK, here we have it, this XpreSSion session is
all about our members telling us about there
vehicles. What the car is eg, year, colour, man/auto,
2ws/4ws etc etc. What mods have been
done(Mechanicle/accessories/body interior xterior). What mods are lined up next.
And any other information which would be helpful for
others to ponder on. Please add a photo for us to gawk
at to!
A good way to get traction? Don't drive like a
crazy man!! How do you mean? from launch? rolling? If
your rolling and losing traction then you've got
something serious!! From a standing start, instead of
dumping the clutch like most bimbos do and thinks there
top shit, flare the clutch out, say from about
2.5-3000 rpm. U'll have to practice. But doing it this
way, theres no wheel spin, and you can gradually but
quickly apply the power to the whells and get a very good
launch.(by flaring and letting the clutch out. It takes
practice to get a good flared start, but beats sitting
there spining your wheels like an idiot!) A good clutch
is the one you have right now. It was designed and
built to handle the power of your vehicle. It is that
strong, that you theoretically wont burn it out. But then
again, ive heard someone just has... It's like all
clutch's, they will go someday, just the stocko will last
ages!!
hi guys ,<br><br>its probably a silly question,
but has any one got <br>a good way of gettind
traction for these things, and secondly whats a god clutch
to use?<br><br><br> regards<br> sam
Well I'm due for a Master Cylinder for my 1989
MX6, I had a terrible spongy pedal ever since I
changed all my Pads a few months ago, I must've disturbed
the seals when I popped the pistons. My question
is.... is a TX5 Telsta Turbo BRAKE Master cyclinder the
same unit? if so I can get it for trade thru a friend
of mine who works at FORD :) Thanks guys! and YEAH!
lets get a AUSSIE website for us!
The IRC chat is most definately much better than the chat program Yahoo has to
offer. i'll get it out soon, and hopefully many other members will follow
suit.....
Blind Freddie and i were having a good yarn to
each other an ICQ last night. And topic of
conversation had covered front and rear strut braces. Jimxsix
had stumbled upon an item which would do the trick
with little modification. As these vehicles had not
come out with front braces; and only the 4WS models
come out with rear bars.(better check to see if mines
still there hey jim?):). Well any way, the front bar is
from a Mazda 323 Familia. It is a little long for the
stut tops of the MX, but a simple cut nd weld and its
just like a factory MX6 front strut brace! In its
original, its not exactly a piece of art, but a better
refinish and you could make it look neato! I'll post pics
of the bar, standard and refinished, for people to
look at.
That sounds like a plan stan! Yes it would be a
very good idea that an official MX6 club for first
gens was created. Thats the idea i was trying to
create with this club. Im sure many others at First Gen
and MX6.com would also agree to this suggestion.
well, seeing no one else has posted any pix yet,
i have added some in photo's section.(jimxsix's 6)
only a couple at the moment, ill add some of the
interior later. i also really wanted to post some on
mx-6.com, but it's stopped working? can anyone also get on?
I totally agree, cookiedude. At the moment, its
hard to get to know the aussie guys/girls? on all the
other clubs/sites. Also, organising meet up's is really
hard. I know that there was a melbourne meetup not long
ago, but other than that, you just have to cruize
around to try and spot an mx6!<br>If we had our own
club, the possibility of meeting up with some of the
members is far greater so we can show off our
beasts!!!<br><br>I also think and official web page to go with the
club would be great, that way we can show members cars
and ideas ect. i have always wanted to do this, but
sadly i never get the time.<br><br>Anyhow, im glad this
site has started to pick up! and i'll definatly join
the club if it is started!!<br><br>James

Just a message to let you know that I have
registered a channel on the austnet IRC server. The channel
is called #MX-6. Very imaginative huh. Anyway just
connect to an austnet server through an IRC client and
join the channel. Personally I find this a hell of a
lot easier to use than the yahoo chat.<br><br>By the
way, my IRC nickname is wlfpac. Wouldn't surprise me
if some of you have had a run in with me already but
I can assure you I'm really a nice guy

hi guys thanks for the help, i sppoke to them and
they informed me that 4-5 turns wasnt enough, to keep
turning slowely and you will get more boost, there is
also an in line restrictor that stops us from moore
grunt, so i just ran a new hose direct from actuator
then the t peice and the turbo, and **** what a buzz,
this thing is on steroids.<br><br>thanks again for
your help, if there any guys in sydney e mail me
lsi251@...<br><br> sam
I'd suggest you go to the Turbosmart website
(www.turbosmart.com.au) and download the instructions. You may have
missed something or the device may be defective. Good
luck.<br><br>Rob<br>Sydney<br>1990 MX-6 GT
If you want the adaptor plate like I said before
I got mine from Outlaw speed shop in Adelaide. But
you cannot find it under MX6, you need to search
under Ford Telstar Turbo amongst the adaptors..
Unfortunately there is no part number.<br><br>Good luck if you
want any more assistance you can email me at
turbo89@...<br><br>Regards<br>Simon
hi guys i am a new member and come across this
site by accident, cool site!!<br> just a question, i
installed the turbosmart boost control t peice, have turned
the screw 4 times and still no increase have i done
it wrong, or r these <br>things a wank?<br><br>any
help would be great?<br><br> <br> sam<br> sydney
Hey dude! I also tried to get an adaptor plate
for my baby, but, you sorta cant get one! K&N dont
make one for our vehicle. Your best bet is to buy a
Rampod kit, with the filter etc etc, and make some
plumbing to the air flow metre. I purchased a Simota Pod
filter(for the noise, Kookaburra, cookie monster!) and made
my own adapter plate out of chequer plate for the
Air flow metre. Its extremely easy to do!! I will get
pics an post em for everybody to see. I would like to
also say, that if your after performance, you best
sticking, with the orignal box, with a K&N flat filter( the
stocko will even do the job!) and plumbing at least 3
inch cold air ducting to the front of the car. I'll
garantee it will work far better than the POD filter. Just
with the standard airbox config, K&N filter, and 3
inch cold air duct(which splits into two at the
begining, for twice the amount of airflow), Im pulling an
easy consistent 10 psi. Thats a major diff to the
stock 7 psi!!! with little money outlay, and effort!!!!
Hi Guys I'm new to this Board, I love my MX6, but
I hate the support I'm NOT getting as far as
getting and installing a RAMPOD, I've tried many posts
but only get half-arsed answers (even from other
MX6ers). ALl I want to know is where can I get a RAMPOD
and the adapter plate (K&N or UNIFilter, etc) in
Melbourne, surely some of you guys have done this mod to
your cars. Any help appreciated - if you got a RAMPOD,
who installed it for you, where did you get the
adapter plate and what does it cost all up.
another great day for sure. that chiptorque 626
turbo was fairly fast posting a 13.9. also saw an mx6
with R33 GTS wheels on it. didn't look too bad!! pity
i couldn't take my car. had to settle for mums
series 6
Hello everyone! I'd like to say that the jamboree

So, how is every one going?? Its been a hell of a
long time since i last posted a message, work is very
much my life these days!!! So who's interested in a
cruise to the jamboree this year??<br>All those

Hello. My master and slave clucth cylinder had
died this morning. It was first the slave cylinder,
and then straight after the master cylinder! But it
did do it at a convienient location, up the backyard
under cover, instead of on the side off the road!
Hello! Has anybody got a stock BOV? Mine sorta
broke, im conducting experiments, and i sorta broke
mine!<br>Update on my blue lights. The heat paint seems to be the
better option, last's about 3 months. But can also give
you a defect!!! I was cruising down the coast the
other weekend, and i was given a defect for my "pretty
blue lights"!!
I'll put some photos up shortly of my lovely MX6
after a jag decided to meet with it at 90kmh. Luckily
it was repaired and its as good as new. It happened
August last year, 3 weeks after I bought it.
I'll try again!! I Finally got a picture up on the front page!!! about time!! I
also have more photos in the photo gallery. I anyone else has any photos, please
feel free to put them up!!
