Hello! Checking in with my '08 Mazda 6 Grand Touring MT

Explored any good shifter mods? I was cross-shopping this and a Miata and the shifter honestly feels like a rowboat in comparison. Love the handling and interior though.

[–] inky 3 points 2 years ago

I haven't; I like the way the shifter feels actually.

How do you like this car?

I've seen it around and wasn't into it as much as the first Gen. Especially the front.

[–] inky 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Love it. I'm still within the break-in period, so I haven't really revved it out yet, but it's amazing to control, and definitely fast enough, even if not an off-the-line monster. Very confidence-inspiring in corners and on-ramps.

[–] _MoveSwiftly 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Off the line monsters are not that much fun TBH. I'm more of a corner guy. :)

[–] inky 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Word. I don't have access to a track or drag strip, but I do have exit and entrance ramps. (responsibly, of course)

[–] _MoveSwiftly 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you considered a technical track? Open track days are the best for your type of car, and they're a lot of fun.

[–] inky 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Definitely have, and probably will at some point. I'd like to get some brakes with some more bite than the stock ones first.

[–] _MoveSwiftly 1 points 2 years ago

The bite won't change. What you need is a pad that can handle the heat you're throwing at it.

The BRZ looks so good in that color!

[–] inky 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Wasn't my first choice but it's definitely grown on me, especially with the matte wheels.
