yeah, ST did say it's doable but tight.

As far as the cargo space goes, it's so much better than 3G TL. How do I know? I had a 3G TL for 4.5 years.

 

The child seat room depends on your height. I'm 6'3" so I need major leg room up front and didn't want to have to move my seat forward everytime I put the child seat in. I would have had to in the Speed3 and I would have felt super cramped driving like that, which is why I ultimately went with the Speed6 which I can leave my seat as is with the child seat in.

 

 

I had a hard time fitting the car seat in my 6, i think the car seat was a big one!

Cargo spacy is lovely in all of them Speed6 speed3 regular 6 esp the hatch.

 

Get a Cobb AP

Get your car tuned by this guy

Bryan can't even install an intake, he isnt going to do anything to his car..

Mine will be faster then his in a couple months LOL

 

seriously, if he's too lazy to install an intake, he should just sell it and get an AP instead.

 

I miss my speed 6. The wife has a 2011 Mazda 3 Hatch though. Fun little car.

 

I wouldnt mind buying a speed6 there going for 17+ though in my area for the 3 that I have seen.

 

^ The MS6s are going for $17k or the MS3s are?

 

Ms6, but high mileage..

 

You really have to be careful with used Mazdaspeeds. And actually this applies to all the turbocharged cars that cater to the younger crowds. Probably 90% of the original owners don't know crap about these little turbocharged cars, and they are likely to mess up the car pretty good. Just a heads up for you.

If it's high mileage, I wouldn't recommend you to get it.

And, dude, if your budget is $17k, just get a brand new MS3. Take out a small loan for it.

 

^ Agreed. I would not consider a high mileage Mazdaspeed. I got lucky finding mine with low miles and relatively stock for $17k, so if you're patient you'll find one, it's just going to take some time or you'll have to travel out of your area to find it. Just don't jump on anything that has high miles or is/was heavily modded.

 

so her insurance put 25% fault on me

emailed state farm and filed a complaint with the CA insurance department

 

LULZ TF

your screwed, should have got a lawyer

not but seriously























































that sucks

 

let us know how it works out for u and i keep my fingers crossed

 

so...just got back from an In n Out run with some friends.

decided to take the old highway home instead of the freeway. cat jumps out in front of me and i nail the brakes and swerve.

i still hit it and it caused some damage to my car. left front foglight busted and there a crack in the bumper. not sure if the bumper itself is cracked or if its the paint but the crack itself is pretty jagged

I think i MS3 is unlucky

i feel so bad for hitting that cat

i knew i should've taken the freeway home

 

Are you sure it wasn't a tiger ?


That sucks man. Sell the car and get TL Type S

 

Mica Black curse

LOL!

I think you should stop being careless

 

Poor cat. Was it still alive?

 

I forgot to add to my post

Bryan your a murder and your on the run don't let me catch you.

 

the cat died. i flipped a U turn and stopped in the middle of the road facing traffic so i can see it with my lights. i still feel really bad this morning

the dust print was from the cat.

Sorry bro.. in all regards.

 

fuck and the car was just repaired.

Maybe you should get rid of it Bryan....



I love the possibility on it though, the car sounds mean as fuck stock!!

 

yea

i dunno what to do. i feel like the car is cursed

but i cant get rid of it. we're a couple months away from getting a house so i need to focus on that.

 

Wow man that's horrible. I'm sorry you've had such bad luck with the car. If there was such thing as a auto-exorcist I'd suggest you go see one. Your experience with this car is reminding me of the movie "Christine".

 

yea, i dunno whats going on with this damn car lol

i think the glare shield in my foglight got knocked out of place. im going to brave the heat and give it a quick wash and get a better look.

 

IF the shop has leftover paint from the accident, it will be about 400 to respray the bumper

 

i think i may have lower grill plastic thing lmk if you need i will give it you if u pay for shipping


but to be honest i would keep it the way it is for liltle bit if you can its not bad

 

its just the paint thats messed up, no damage to anything else.

i will probably get it redone in a couple months or in the spring once it warms up again. i dont want to do it now.

i need to save everything i can towards our house.

 

thanks though, Kuba, i really appreciate it

 

No problem

 

Typing on my sucks lol i just noticed what i wrote.

 

so i found out how much faster my car is than a modded RSX-S

 

That's why you keep your car.

Install that CP-E it will be :vroom:

 

OMG didn't you have your car for like more than a year now?? And you found that out today?

I put a bus length on couple different modded RSX-S. At least the owners of those RSX-S were nice enough to give me a thumbs up. All the Si owners always give me this "my fuel was low excuse" look and leave.

 

so as some of you saw in my thread in ramblings, there was chance that we were moving to the Bay and me selling the car if she decided to go to USF

fiancee got accepted into Cal Poly SLO and she is pretty certain thats where she is going.

soooo...ive decided to keep the car and mod it for now. i didnt want to dump much money into it, but i keep looking at parts online and i just cant help it

 

i want to drop it on coils.

unless JS can think of a better set-up

and a few of my firends keep pushing me to get an AP, so we will see...



since she is staying at the coast, I am going to rent a room from a friend here until i figure out what to do school-wise, so im not going to be able to afford that much mods.

 

COBB AP is a must even if you're running an off the shelf COBB tune like myself. I'd get that first over any other mod. Let the games begin!

 

Suspension: Bilstein Sport + Swift Spring
Performance: Intake -> HPFP internal (autotech) -> Accessport -> downpipe -> Get it tuned.

You will be able to shit on a lot of EVOs/STis with that set up.
