Time to move onwards and upwards for me I'm afraid.
In all honesty, there's not a lot left that I can do to the 6 without spending silly money. (OK - apart from the wheels. :flipa: ) So I'm going to get her up to scratch (ecu and TB) then let her go to a new home.
I'm looking for around £3000 and definitely won't accept less than £2500 for what is in all honesty a real head turner with the sound and performance to match. Christ, I spent more than that on her last year alone.
Plenty of pics and specs at the links in my Sig below.

Sorry Guys, I did know about this before.. but was asked to keep schtumm...
I did give Ken all the reasons why to keep her etc, but sadly it is time for them to part company..
As for the new car...... you'll have to wait till Trax... (probably) I'm not saying owt...

I'm kinda guessing the next one is going to be another Mazda... Possible an RX7 or RX8.

Ken, if you don't mind a little advice... If no one here buys it, put it on ebay. That black one with the shogun kit went for 3700 (well, stupid plonker had set the reserve higher). Your's is much nicer than that.
Oh, and if it goes on ebay... please, please, please sell me the spoiler.

ken, like all here, i feel it will be a sad day when you no longer own a 6. cant you let lin have it?? then you can look longingly at it every time you get in your new car, knowing it aint yours any longer(grin).
i am sure, however, that your choice of next car will provide you with even more modding expense and fun.
i do understand that you have reached a full stop with how far you can go, cost against value. perhaps one day ill have to make that choice too.
Thanks for the words guys.
Matt - why did I know that was coming.
I thought about Lin having it, but she just thinks it's a gas guzzling money pit (she's right though).
Don't worry, I'll still be around - I've met too many good folks on here to let go that easy. And the web pages will stay too - hell, I've got the free space so might as well make use of it.
As for the new car, hopefully I'm picking it up on Thursday night.
Russ - it's certainly worth it, but please don't hate me...
I know you want one of these too:
Well, the cat is most definately out of the bag... and halfway down the road...
Could have had em guessing up to September Ken...
