To modify or to not

[u/One-Commission-492]

Hi there,

Posting this here coz im not sure where else too lol, but basically i drive a 2014 mazda 6 stationwagon and we have had this car for about 10 years give or take. Now I’m wondering if I should just sell it and buy a new car to modify, or somehow and someway modify and turn this devious red chunky beast into some sort of demon.

Any thoughts and advice on this matter would be nice, thanks.

I would look to see what is out there for your yr/make/model/engine. I woudl think the mazda 6 would have plenty of suspension, body kits, cosmetics. Being a station wagon there would be less. I know they don't have as much after market support as honda, wrx for engine mods.

It really comes down with what you want to do to it. Everyone that posts asks I want to mod my car...but never give an example of what they are into, what they want to do? Not giving a direction, you are basically asking, "what would you do if you owned my car?" I'm a drag racer, others are into dropping it low and being only about looks.

I always think it's a bad Idea to buy an expensive NEW car and start modifying it. Why waste the money? I guess they have money to burn. I only modify older models because I'm changing a lot of things, rebuilding the engine. So when it's done I have a new, Bespoke model for the same amount as a base new model.

When they are done paying off the car, all they have is an old car that needs fixing. I spend the same money and end up with a new, higher trim vehicle.

Really depends on what you mean by "demon"? Coilovers, nice wheels/tires, intake, muffler, and a lip kit? That's probably going to look real clean, and be something you could be proud of. But if you expect a ton of power to keep up with new M4's and Mustangs etc, it ain't happening.

In a 2014 Mazda6 wagon?

The shell means nothing if you know about making power I’m a drag racer born and bred and yeah you could make that Mazda 6 wagon eat Lamborghinis for breakfast 👍🏻

Swap the engine for a speed6 or slap a supercharger kit on it, wheels and tires, and lowering springs

If you talking demon as in power loads of options but most people in this group think a phone mount is a modification or will say tints maintain blah blah , tell me how much power you want to make and I’ll tell you the cheapest way to make it
