Obviously being the first car and the platform I learnt on especially a car which was passed down to me from my dad there is sentimental value. Any regrets? Any future plans into another Mazda? Or anything modified? We are glad we get to preserve this on our website now that it is gone. With that paired with the full custom kit I couldn’t be happier with the car.” “…I was lucky enough to be able to try both my dream wheels on the car as well, the XD9’s were the first, unfortunately 18×10 +18 was a little big therefore it lead me to selling and finding my actual dream wheels being the Volk Racing GT-N’s in the perfect specs I wanted. Sacked with stupidly tight fitment and a very unreasonable ride height which at the end of the day makes me happy as it’s everything I dreamt the car would look as a show/stance car…” “…At first I was very into the track scene therefore my track setup but with lockdown in Australia I went in a different direction of making the car look pretty which is where it is at today. As usual there was the car scene which lead me to doing certain modifications to the car but having the mx-6 as a platform was difficult as there was not really any good aftermarket support for the car hence a lot of what I have done to car is custom or retrofitted…” then it lead into me trying to teach myself certain things mechanically. “Well the general passion of cars lead me to experimenting on minor modifications and the basic things etc. What inspired you to modify and style the MX-6? The car was around 30mm off the ground at most areas.” Then it was a bit unpractical to drive the car at such tight fitment and low height, especially being static height. It was my daily driver up until I hit 110,000kms or so when I decided to stance the car. “Yes I did daily drive this in the beginning, the car was handed to me at 70,000kms, and I daily drove it whilst modifying it. It was my first car and it has taught me so much both mechanically and mentally…” Dad owned the car since new, bought off the showroom floor in 1996 and passed it to me. “…I was able to learn in many cars for my learning period but the day I got my probationary license my dad handed me the keys to the MX-6 and the rest is history. Then once 18 comes we can take a test to get our probationary license which lasts for 4 years then we become full license…” In Australia, specifically where I’m from in Melbourne Victoria, at the age of 16 we get our learners license where until 18 we need somebody next to us who is fully licensed in order to drive. I don’t really discriminate the different types of cultures within the car scene either, my cars been through oem, track spec to stance…” Then as the culture grew and grew I learnt more and more it fueled my passion for cars. “I was always into cars from a very young age, started with hot wheels and dad was always an enthusiast and it rubbed off onto me. How did you get into cars? Was the MX6 your first car? Did you daily drive this in Australia? Here we have Albert Lee‘s 1996 Noble Green MX-6 2.5L V6 NA KLDE from Melbourne, Australia. There are hints of the MX-6 model coming back in the future, but who knows how similar it will be. Today, these cars are rare to come by, especially one that is modified in a tasteful way. ![]() This is the 2nd generation MX-6, which is similar to the 626 and Ford Probe/Telstar. ![]() Coming from all the way down under is a car that gets mistaken for a Nissan S14 due to its similar visual cues from the era.
