[AutoEuphoria]

If you are in the southeast, check out this http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123743500 forum. Trying to get some interest in getting a protune at top speed of atlanta. Seem like really stand up guys.

how was the sway bar install? I've heard it's a nightmare from some, and pretty straight forward from others.

Took me two hours. Its simple when you have done it once already, Follow the included instructions and you will not have many problems, just the usual you need to be an olympic class weightlifter to break free some bolts but that is what an impact drill is for.If you know a hobby shop that has a lift and a friend you can finish it a lil quicker. I wasted a bunch of time trying to get my rear sway to stop clunking, turns out pass side was loose. The front subframe has to come down, when you can stand underneath the car it makes a world of difference as opposed to laying down. Make sure you use loctite!

I really liked that area. Some of those roads (the paved ones) are pretty rockin'. Next time, hopefully it won't be in a rented Town and Country.

A day that was supposed to be about a nice, scenic cruise on Skyline Drive instead ended up with a tint ticket, a no-front-plate ticket, a stuck gas cap with half a gallon left in the tank 40 miles from home, and an hour at a dealership getting a new cap.

Eff. Em. El.

Karma coming back at you for all those years of intraweb sarcasm?

Ack...that stinks of royal-nastAy-toejam-ally funk. What's the legal limit in VA? Makes me think twice about me going below the legal tint limit in FL by 10%...

removed my side mold things on my car. Looks alot better and should have done this a while ago

I traded my MS3 for a modded Trailblazer SS (just for a week)

I needed something with more room to take my family on vacation.


Hooray for 500 HP

Boo for 16mpg highway for 1100 miles. (birthday)

they do not have 500 horsepower nor do they get that good of gas mileage. that peruvian pink is eating your brain!(glare)

 

[ericrapp]

More royal Purple 10 30 for summer after 9779 miles and drained, then renewed the radiator with hyper lube and about 10% coolant. put new tires on two weeks ago same as before. have passenger side motor mount from a good fellow from the forum to install this weekend. Wish i could find somebody in the area to install and weigh the corners for my new suspension bits damnit. Still looking for a great deal on a nearly solid rear MM too.

this one does.

447 at the wheels. I'd like to say what's done to it, but I don't know. I know it's loud.

 

[SwampAss]

ok, I asked.

Dif heads, cam, long tube headers, injectors,intake, 3400 stall trq coverter, remap and some other odds and ends. He named a bunch of stuff but it was a text message and I don't feel like typing it all out.

Said he baselined just over 300.

congrats on getting the worlds most useless suv

 

[SwampAss]

Congrats to me for having a friend nice enough to lend me his SUV so I can take my wife and baby to the beach with ample room to still move around. Something I could not have done with the MS3.

I bet there are guys who drive Caterhams and Elises that think our Mazda 3s are bloated wastes of time.

It's all perspective. Thanks for being an asshole though.

Today I got flipped off by three guys on motorcycles because my car enjoys smoking at idol and they were behind me lol. waiting on a catch can!

you know its good to have friends like that. who will let you take their stuff and trust you not to tear it up. Certainly a nice ride for a change up i bet, and pretty cool the buddy likes to personalize his vehicle towards performance too. hope you and your family had a nice trip!

Scangauges installed. Bad pictures here:

I'll get some better pics later. This setup ROCKS!

And please don't tell me my single DIN headunit sucks. I know it's ugly, but it sounds a million times better than the stock sport headunit.
