Any other members with the 'Alcantra suede' and carbon fiber X-types?
i'm just curious, i recently bought a pre-owned 2006 special 'sport edition x-type. it is black-on-black with bodykit, carbon fiber interior and the suede inserts. is there anything else 'special' about this edition? any known problems? i owned a 2002 back in the day when they first came out and had TONS of problems with her. all the reviews i've found say that from 2005-on that the x-types are pretty flawless...
thoughts?
thanks everyone!

I have seen a black '05 Sport with the Alcantara inserts in the seats and carbon fiber trim. I wasn't a big fan of the carbon fiber in the X-Type, but the Alcantara looked nice. The door panels looked rather plain in this car, as they didn't have any carbon fiber trim on them. Everything else, seemed to be the stock sport setup to me, the spoiler and everything looked the same.

The Mazda 6 V6 ECU appears to be no different (at least it wasn't on my 2002)
We successfully were able to use the Mazda 6 power program from CP-E performance(i'm not even sure they make parts anymore..) and hooked the jag up to a laptop, downloaded the program, then we plugged in a DYNOMAX wideband 02 tuner and drove the car to tune air/fuels. picked up 13hp to the wheels. added a custom cold air intake, TRUE cold air, that reached into the lower vent of the car and added an additional +5 for a total of +18hp and 14lbs torque. granted i also had a resonator delete and 2.5" custom exhaust put in from the cats back to the Borla axle-back system. the next mod was a valve-body re-work which was AWESOME! CPE did this swap as well. again, Mazda6. car pulled hard, until the tranny failed 3,000miles later!!! fortunately back then there was a TSB on the tranny and it was replaced at no cost!!! sold the car 6months later.
i now have a 2006 x-type sport. here's the embarrassing-looking 2002: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/225379...s-moines-ia-us
keep in mind, i used it to do road race events. the KW coilovers were AMAZING, but the roughest ride EVER!!!! totally gutted and eventually had a rollcage in her too.
