You mean, it wasn't owned by an old man who only drove it 2,000 miles each year, or by an old lady who only used it for groceries once a week? And not owned by the 18 year old who had it as his first car, but who rotated driving it with the other 5 cars the family had?

Congrats on the purchase! Enjoy the new car!

Didn't even notice that before you told me about it.

Repainting the car will cost a lot even if you get a huge hook up! Just start modding the car, it looks pretty damn clean!

This is a draw for Bimmerzine / Mazdazine.
At least it's not an Audi.

It's not original.. my Korean buddy refers to his mazda3 as his m3. If you ask him what he drives, he responds.. M3.

Nice ride! That is a car I was considering when I got my TL, but couldn't afford the speed3 so I went with the Acura. Enjoy it

Battery died at the drive in last night. I dont think it has ever been replaced.

The Mazda lot by my gfs house wanted 160 for a new one installed. So im just going to wait until i get home and do it myself.

I test drove the first gen MS3 and loved it. I'm jealous! Too bad the back seats didn't have just an inch more room or I'd have it sitting in my driveway right now. Enjoy the car and all the best luck with it!!!

Maybe I'll still join Mazdazine soon enough...

You're very welcome. It was a VERY fun car to test drive. The pull in 1st and 2nd gear were intoxicating.

Find an MS6 close by? No. Find an MS6? Yes.

CAI = slightly better top-end

The gain is about the same. I got SRI because it was basically easier to install! :o

i think i would go short ram as well. after driving to and from the gfs with the rain we've had, im not going to stress about a CAI

plus, its easier to get to the filter for cleaning.

did you go dry flow or the oiled filter?

Great!

You will love the sound that it makes....... it is very.. addicting....

I went with the oiled one, but the dry flow is the way to go I think.

Have fun installing it!

The 3 has one of the deadest forums around for a car that sells well. I go there and even Honda Accord forums have more activity. I am talking about this one.

The forums for regular Mazda 3/6 are pretty dead. But the ones for Mazdaspeed3/6 are extremely active. The most famous one is Mazdaspeedforums.org. There's so much valuable information.
