BA - Tasha's 2.0L V6 Auto - Import

**Posted:** Thu Aug 10, 2006 9:57 am

to be honest the pick up is crap, once yr past that tho it just gives and gives and gives without the slightest struggle.

theres a problem with the gearbox which is gradually getting worse - delayed kickdown or total lack of it, slipping gear & missing the gear totally.

Dan dragged her once.... times were in the lowly 18's but saying that autos arent good for dragging in the first place, and autos with a knackered gearbox are def not good for dragging lol, once we've fixed it, will maybe try again... tho i dont hold much hope of brilliant times from her, she's just not built for short fast bursts.

As Tasha said .. 0-60 isnt very good because of the Auto gear changes ... but whenb its running and you kick down its bloody quick lol ..

3rd gear goes well over 110 mph

4th gear is restricted to 4500 RPM I think so anything over a ton you have to be in 3rd

Sorry mate I don't really know that much about the car .. we didnt import it, we bought it from someone in the Uk .. It was imported in 1999. The car goes well enough, just be wary of the mazda Auto boxes they are renowned for been a bit tempromental .. Hold light flashing is a problem that appears everywhere.

What do you mean by Exhaust values ?? do you mean C02 readings ?

0-60 is pretty poor and the 1/4 mile aint much better

but the car comes into its own when above 60mph and you press the hold button or kickdown.. WOW the performance is much better than the manual then. The box has 4 gears and 3rd gear will do about 120mph... if not more

.. you try that with a manual lol

Sorry for delay I kept forgetting to reply, Tasha keeps reminding me and I forget again lol.

Hope that helps

the other pics made them look a bit chunky to me, but wow they do look great from that angle :thumbright:

very nice!

**Posted:** Mon Jan 01, 2007 11:13 pm

trust me ... they look great on the car

... am a little bit jealous as they weigh about 2kg less than my 17's too

I tried to talk tasha out of having them ... but unfortunately she realised straight away the reason why lol .... I wanted them for mine :P

Those wheels look great on a BA, well done.

**Posted:** Mon Jan 01, 2007 11:24 pm

Looks awesome Dan & Tasha

Glad you kept the Lantis stripes too

**Posted:** Tue Jan 02, 2007 12:06 am

Wheels look stunning Mate.

What weight are those wheels Dan?
My RX8 alloys are 9kg each, and the tyres are 10kg each.
So, full set is about 76kg.....
The standard 323F Sport wheels are about the same...

You sure about that ??? the wheels alone weigh in about 8.5 kg's for the 6's and 10 ish for the the Decent's... with tyres you are looking at about 16KGs for the 6's ...

you telling me RX8 wheels only weight the same as the 6's ????
If so I shall be getting a set

photos can be so deceptive

the wheels look great on the car in reality... but get a slightly off angle in a photo and pic can make em look totally wrong lol

thanks for the comments

ezzy - you'd be suprised - it's quieter than the old standard one.... but the tone is really smoother and lower. dont think a sound byte will work as it's not a roaringly loud zorst

have to wait till one of the meets to hear it lol.

**Posted:** Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:06 am

well quick update - Ligi had her de-cat today.... all i can say is LOUD!!! lmao

**Posted:** Tue Apr 10, 2007 11:47 pm

Ok well the exhaust was too loud and it was loosing power at low revs .... was a bit embarrsasing to be honest :P .... so I asked my mat to fit a mid box .... which he did tonight and WOW whata difference it makes ... still sounds awesome but now its driveable

:D

Will post some pics of it when I geta chance ... but the sound now goes with the performance

:D:D

**Posted:** Wed Apr 11, 2007 12:02 am
