General Vehicle Comments
M-Edition MX6
This Vehicle left our family on June 5th 2009. After years of service and lots of fun it was time for a bigger vehicle. She will be missed.

After the GT-6 I decided if I was going to build an MX6 it needed to be an M-Edition. So I bought this one from Hughes off of MX6.com.
He swapped it to Manual and the interior to black and shipped her to me on donuts.

This car is named Iris after a Character in MegaMan X4.

The M-Edition was only made in 1996. The additions over the Standard LS were mainly cosmetic. It had Stainless Steel Door Sills, Gold Emblems which included ones saying M-Edition, All Red Tails and Gold Rims.

I think it's something dumb too but got to get it taken care of, is embarrassing if it dies at a red light or bucks when taking off from it cutting out and kickin back on strong. I have read on a Probe site about taking out the vris butterflies, whats your thought on that? You can wait til you get home if you want to answer. Thanks for the tip I will try it tomorrow while the garage is warm.

Hi, while I was around town today went past a shop and asked my wife if she called there already about running engine codes and she said she called almost everywhere and they all said they can only do 95 and newer. Then I thought maybe you knew. My car runs fine and strong but lately once it gets up to temp starts randomly cutting out on me. I think if I have my foot on the clutch it would actually die altogether. It fires right up again and runs fine after. I would say after it's up to temp on average does it once every half hour. I have a carbonfiber gauge overlay and no cut out for a check engine light but could tell it came on after it was up to temp and cut out once, I could see the glow in the spot below it. Any clues? It must be something stupid.

yeah thats true..u can pretty much do anything as long as u have the money...fds are cool...im love the fc s also but its very hard to find one in decnet shape nowdays ..the previous oweners tend to not know what they are doing and the wiring and tuning are ususally all screwed up...also since i live in hawaii and we are serrounded by salt water the cars rust fast if u dont know how to maintain it haha - frank

well the rx8 is pretty much done for now...ive got all stage one tuning and a racing clutch on her now...unfortunatly the rx8 engine is very low on torque and the only way to get beef her up is a turbo ..but the turbo s are so expensive and they really dont add much for this model unless u sink at least 6 plus grand for the turbo and extra upgrades...im just going to drop a wet nos system into her for that occasional race and just fine tune the sounds...im actually waiting for the rx9 which is suppose to come out in about 2 years..that has 3 rotors and will be coming out of the factory with about 450 horses and the potential to get up to 1000 hp !!....at the moment im more focused on building my Lancer with my 14 year old son....we just finished stage one tuning and are working on getting a garret turbo kit for her .- frank
