Pics of the "Poor mans STi"

[Gmac03]

That's what I like to call her..."poor mans STi".

I'm new to the forum, hopefully I wont rant too much and ask questions too many times without doing any searching.

Here are a few shots of the MS3 sport, sorry for the crappy cell pics...

I have these rims for daily driving and the stock ones will be for racing. The stockers are currently at the powder coaters getting a shot of gloss black.
There isn't much done to it, ummm, basically nothing except the rims and the blacked out emblems. DIY FTW!

I like to autox the car, so this will be setup for DS, if i'm competetive with it the way it is, than nothign will get changed. If not, then I will have to play with it abit, but I don't want to move out of DS.

Next up is painting the calipers, I think i'll go with black.

I own two other cars, both Infiniti G20's/Nissan Primeras. One of them the GF drives and the other is the real deal hot rod.

Hopefully I can be of some help.

[2.0t03speed]

[hectik1]

No one wants a new ugly STI. MS3 FTW!(upyours)

Why is it a poor man's STi and not a poor man's evo...cuz i'd much rather it be a poor man's evo!

Hopefully the pics work now, thanks for the help SwampAss, and for some reason MP keeps coming to mind rather than MS, not sure why.

The poor man's evo with be the Ralli-Art. The poor man's STI is the MS3 because it is faster than the wrx and cheaper also!

Well from a roll they're about even so it's kind of a weird / odd comparison to make. Plus one is AWD the other FWD.

I guess it could be whatever it is you wanna believe it to be.

Poor men don't have ms3s.

 

[MS3077]

Yeah I own a MS3 but I'm certainly not "Poor" I could afford a much more expensive car as many others on this forum could as well. However, we chose the MS3 for its great value not because it was all we could afford.

It's not a "Poor Mans" anything. It's a Mazdaspeed3

im with u on this when i was looking to by a new car i had the a opportunity to buy a evo,or a sti i just didnt cause i wanted to be the first owner of my car (thumb)

 

[oaklandopen]

maybe more of a poor man's r32, even though the r32 is slower around the track anyway

 

[Da 6]

If said MS3 had 3 prevous owners and no navi maybe

 

[ericrapp]

lol then why bring it up haha?

to keep some of us from going off.

 

[ericrapp]

aah

Ok, that sounds almost reasonable
