Not enough aftermarket support?

Here is one store that has a lot of the items…  
[http://therpmstore.com](http://therpmstore.com)

The only thing that really hasn’t completely taken off with the 6 cylinder version is a turbo, only because of the computer system.

But, besides that… there are tons of parts available…

If you want to find out more, you can go to:

[http://mazda6club.com](http://mazda6club.com)  
[http://mazda6tech.com](http://mazda6tech.com)

Two great sites I venture to often
