Buying cars to drive daily and keep the Mustang out of the elements is the way to go. |

Nice car. I've always liked those things. Sure would be a great DD; better MPG than the stang, but still sporty enough to atleast have a little fun with during daily duty. Just not too crazy about the wing on the back, I like the standard roofline better.
I remember a guy at tech school that had a regular mazda 3 hatch. Had exhaust, some susp, and cosworth intake manifold, and some other minor stuff. For a 4 cylinder, it sounded GOOD. |

I love this thing so far. I have a friend of mine that talked them up a lot and never realized how nice it was til I got in it and drove one (even after riding in his a few times).
Yea I was listening to a few exhaust clips and I thought they sounded very similar to a wrx. . .but I like the stock exhaust and the noise from exhaust is one of the reason I bought this instead of daily driving the mustang. |

Sweet ride. My girlfriend wanted to get one just like that but once she seen they were 6 speeds she said that she couldnt drive it. There is a guy that was running at cecil county with one in the high 13s. |

Nice zippy car.. My DD is a Speed6.... Love it... If you have any left over cash, and your car has Pirelli PZero Nero tires - you may want to invest in a nice set of Hankook Icebears. The Pirellis are a little sketchy in the snow. They are very affordable. I bought a set of stock 15" aluminum Mazda rims off eBay for $225 delivered... Getting close to time to put them on here in Indiana.

Just installed an intake onmy Buddy's speed 3. Took about 2+ hours but it wasn't complicated at all (gotta remove the front bumper though).
You know you cant buy a factory turboed car and not do an intake and downpipe back, I think it's a rule somewhere. |

Right now it has 20% tint and a aftermarket rear motor mount will probably be coming soon. Not sure how much farther I want to take it. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
