Default New Here - '06 Mazdaspeed6

Hey everyone, just found this forum when someone mentioned the name over on mazda6club. I've got an '06 Black Cherry Mica Mazdaspeed 6 that I bought new at the end of Feb '07. I'm in the 804 area, Midlothian/Richmond specifically, and just curious about car enthusiast activity around here.

Mods list:
Done: Clutch Adjustment | CPE CAI | SU Motor Mount | SU Boost Tube Kit | SU Test Pipe | 3.25" ETS TMIC | SU Turbosmart BOV | Clutch TSB | GHL 3" Dual Cat Back Exhaust | MDS DashHawk.

Audio: 12" Type-R, Phoenix Gold Xenon X600.1, Custom Ported Enclosure tuned to 32Hz

Pics (unfortunately the car was terribly dirty for these first two pics):





And while I'm doing the whole show and tell deal, perhaps a recent vid too:

Pics will soon be outdated as I'm getting some tint done on Friday while I wait for a few other mods to hit the market.

Nope not stock. It's an ETS TMIC...I posted the mods list in the first post:

Mods list:
Done: Clutch Adjustment | CPE CAI | SU Motor Mount | SU Boost Tube Kit | SU Test Pipe | 3.25" ETS TMIC | SU Turbosmart BOV | Clutch TSB | GHL 3" Dual Cat Back Exhaust | MDS DashHawk.
When I got the TMIC there was no FMIC out and readily available. For now I still don't need the FMIC. After the next few mods (EMS+tune, DP, manifold etc) I'll get back to the IC, selling the TMIC and buying an FMIC.

Not to mention the FMIC is literally twice the price of the TMIC ($1100 vs $550). At the time I didn't realize how badly the mod bug had bitten, and didn't think I'd continue modding much.
