Faults:

Blown motor (my fault).

Handbrake not working.

General Comments:

Awesome car.

The stock motor actualyl put up with all the abuse that I gave it. For example - when I race I switch at 7500 every time.

The parts are cheap if you know where to get them, but it's not hard, you just can't be lazy.

The DJM motor was a lot cheaper than buying a Honda motor that's not even from Japan. 950 bucks compared to a b18 GSR motor that's 2500, and that's not DJM LOL.

It rides great, even after dropping it. The car only sits 2 inches off the ground, but the only thing I really don't like about the car is that just about everything in the car like the dashboard is made of plastic, and cheap at that, so it breaks easy. Getting my radio stolen almost wouldn't have happened if it had a harder plastic at least.. LOL

Anyway, the car's fast, I run 13.56 in the 1/4 mile and all I have is the DJM motor, stage 3 clutch and full cat back.

Bought the car for a little over 2700, so it was a good investment. I'm more of a Honda or Nissan fan, but this car does the trick if you don't have a bunch of money to make it fast and look nice.

Faults:

The 2 back calipers leaked, causing spongy breaks, replaced both for $150 dollars.

The right CV join was cracked replaced it for $190 dollars.

The Master cylinder had to be replaced that was another $140 Dollars.

The Slave also had to be replaced for another $150 dollars.

The Seats are cracked from the sun, the Car has oxidation all over it. The antenna fell off.

The Sun roof needs assistance while moving up and out, other than that it will move the rest of the way alone.

Hand Break cable needs to be replaced. Car vibrates while slowing down from high end speeds.

You know a few things here and there they can be fixed and this car will be my Lamborginni, or my Ferrari, or even my Mercedes.

A new paint job will fix the hideous paintjob it has now, and some after market rims will fix the ugly rim sickness the car carries, But at a 164k+ miles, the car has outrun any loser that ever rev'd their engines at me, I'm going to the quarter mile and we will test it there :). I love my MX6 OH if anyone could tell me, why my dash console is no longer working? I turned the car on 1 morning and everything worked, then I turned it off ran into a restaurant and came out and turned car on, then it didn't work, The speedometer the Odometer, the gas meter and the HOT COLD meter don't work?

I bought my Mazda MX-6 from a college student that did not have money to do repairs to the car. After doing a small tear-down inspection and very abusive test drive, a car that was not maintained and had 155000 miles on it was sold to me for $600.

The car had a bad caliper on the driver's side rear tire. I replaced the caliper for $85 from Napa auto parts.

The front struts were bad and cost me $200 for the parts and $55 for a front and rear wheel alignment.

For some strange reason, the windsheild wiper light is on as a warning light on the instrument panel. This is strange because everything for the wiper system works great.

The motor has a rhythmic vibration when warming up, but after the car has come up to operating temperature (2 minutes) it has a beautiful idle. I need to get that checked out.

I purchased this car for $600. It is a 1993 and has poor maintenance if little ever done to it and the car is immaculate.

There is very little rust on this vehicle and after a good waxing, the paint looks beautiful and is black in color.

The moon roof works with flawless operation.

The transmission shifts smoothly when driven in a mild manner, and when beaten on... it shifts so firmly it makes you say, "Whoa!"

The engine, with 155734 miles on it, has so much power you don't realize just how fast you are going. I read on the internet that this car has only 160 horsepower. I am going to order a used engine in long-block form with a manual transmission for only $1325.00. This package will have 30,000 miles on it and will increase the horsepower from 160 to 220. The motor and transmission will come from Japan where just about all of the sports cars have more power than their United States versions of the same car. I am doing this because this car handles so good I am going to enter it in Sports Car Club Association events on a road course track.

I will probably add a performance suspension package from Eibach and some strut bars to make sure the chassis doesn't do anything weird.

I love this car. I can't say anything bad about it at all. I bet the original motor and transmission push another car to the 250000 mile mark while passing emissions. Does anybody want it? usand3kids@peoplepc.com.
