Could this be the same car that initially sold to consumers so that they could do the weekly shop, go to work and take the kids to school? In short, the Mazda 6 is one of those family cars that someone who is a bit sporty would not give a second glance to, but they would now.
This is a Mazda 6 and before Chris “Kit” Kitkevitz got his hands on it, it could well have done the work of the standard family car. However, no it is hard to even think about seeing a car such as this parked up in the drive or waiting outside of the school waiting for the kids.
Surprisingly the production car had a choice of 1.8 litre, 2.0 litre, 2.3 litre and 3.0 litre V6 engines and a choice of a 4 speed Sport automatic, 5 speed automatic, 5 speed manual, 6 speed automatic and 6 speed manual gearboxes.
Therefore, the car is far from the standard family car, that we first believed it to be. However, this modified version is something else and it tells us something about the builder too. He is someone that does not conform to the standard thoughts on what something should look like; in short he is an artist as they is what the great painters believed in.

Short Ram Air Induction Intake System with Air Filter – Mazda MX-6 2.0L
Product Description for the Induction Intake System with Air Filter:
Short ram air induction intake system is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion to yield more horse power. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation.
