Has anyone found a gas station with 93octane in L.A. or anywhere else for that matter? I've been using 91octane from my local 76 gas station. |

| just got my black MS6 on wednesday and i have to say that it is the fastest car i have ever driven. it has everything i wanted in a car, from the turbo to the AWD. It's sporty as well as it is luxurious. Overall a blast to drive. | |

i've noticed that the engine heats up pretty fast. is it wise to get an intercooler? i'm thinking about getting a cold air intake system, anyone have any suggestions?

turbo/super charged car. Mazda needs better air flow around intercooler. But sorry no scoops were allowed. Krzys

Did anyone buy one? It seems as though this could be an expensive car to fix after the bumper-to-bumper runs out... If you bought one, what did you pay? Thanks!

Replying to: importknight84 (May 13, 2006 7:07 pm) Wait, are you wondering whether you should buy a better intercooler or whether you need to add one? I assume you mean better, 'cause how could you buy an MS6 or any turboed car and not know that it already has an intercooler. Anyway, there's much discussion about the perceived inadequacy of the MS6 top-mounted intercooler. Run another google search. But as far as I know the aftermarket suppliers are still working on making one available. When they are available, they will reportedly be expensive and mounted on the front instead of the top of the engine. Same for info on the CAI. Run a google search. At least two suppliers make them currently, CP-E and AEM, and those who have installed them seem pretty happy with them. You'll get a lot more intake noise, so you might lose a little of the "sleeper" advantage when you come up next to a potential "victim". |

The stock intake draws air from behind the left headlamp inside the engine compartment, and is also somewhat restrictive. The CAI draws cooler air from behind the left foglamp and is much less restrictive than the factory airbox. Even if the CAI doesn't cool off the intake air temperature significantly, the lower restriction to the intake improves performance.
