2005 SP23
What's up guys? I recently decided to start looking for a Mazda 3 and ended up finding an SP23 so I went for it. However, I'm not new to cars. I'm jumping over from Subarus to Mazdas for a little bit to see what they have to offer. My previous car was a '97 Subaru Impreza wagon so the FWD of the Mazda may take some getting use to. Either way, I plan on learning a lot from you guys(smash)
 
looks like the right place to me. would you like me to move it to the regular 3 section instead of the mazdaspeed section?
 
Haha I would've loved a Speed, but I couldn't really afford one that had decent mileage. The SP I bought has just under 40k so I couldn't really pass it up.
 
welcome to the forums... the sp23 is a nice car does it have the saddle brown leather? i can't remember if all sp23s had that or if it was just an option. any modifications planned?
 
Here are some pics:

The car is in Fort Myers, Florida so I don't have the car physically as I'm in PA. Should be here by the end of next week though.

Tsunami, I'm not sure what the plans are as far as modifications go, but I don't think it'd be anything too major as I'm in school and have other things that steal all my money.

that saddle brown leather in a black interior is just odd....

for fun easy cheap mods i would go short throw shifter, rear engine mount and maybe a rsb or lowering springs those are all relatively cheap can be done by you and improve the smiles per mile prob more then anything else.
 
Yeah the saddle brown is different, but I really like it for some reason.

Hopefully I'll be able to do those things eventually along with a CBE and an intake. Experience I have, money I don't :(
