what happend

i have wintertyres fitted to my car and its a lot of fun driving past people stuck in a little bit of snow, the only thing my tyres wont grip is thick ice. Anyone had any sideways action on the roads tonite

just found out, if you cause an accident on a wintery road in germany with standard tyres fitted there is a GOOD chance that the insurance company wont pay out, however if you tell the insurance company you have winter tyres fitted they will drop the premium.

i have just got my winter tyres fitted(560euros), they have a dry speed rate of H (130Mph), so when the weather gets below 7 degrees i can still drive at autobahn speed safely, the other good news is the car looks good with black wheels fitted, so i might just get my alloys powder coated black...

hi any one know a good website to get parts for the new mazda 6???

winter tyres have M+S(these are all weather tyres) or a snow flake(these are full on winter tyres) on the tyre wall also the tread patten is compleatly diffrent, most people fit the winter tyres on to steel rims so they dont trash the alloys if they slip of the road,

in germany its recomended to change to winter tyres when the temp falls below 7 degrees because "normal/summer"tyres dont work as they should, they basicly freeze. the police like to hand out fines to drivers who use summer tyres in the winter, (they use the road worthyness card to hand out fines)

Hi dont know if this has been coverd yet, i am just about to buy a set of winter tyres,does any one have any advice about which ones to get, i am thinking about dunlop winter sport 3D(only because i have dunlop fitted at the moment).

i have been told that removeing the negative terminal on the battery will reset OEM ECU. is this true?

does any one know if the K&N57I kit(57-0615) from the last shape mazda 6 will fit/work on the current 6

i have the mazda 6 tamura, i have fitted a kn panel fillter and i am useing V Power raceing fuel (100 octane), after useing about 3 tanks full of the fuel my car has started to feel sluggish, is it the fuel or the fillter making this happen?

filter fitted, it makes a small inprovment on lower end pull.lowering the car has been put on hold, i just had to buy new head and tail lights so the car would pass a TÜV(mot) light test.

Hi, just got my Tamura. its in for the Eibach suspension up grade next week(fitted by mazda) it lowers the car by 30mm, also just orderd a K&N replacment fillter,however the car is pritty good as standard

will do, its first drive is a 600 mile slog back to germany, should know the car pritty well after that.

i get the car on the 27th april got the car cheap and tax free(perks of living in germany)
