There's a good chance it'll be a skyactive 3. Eventhough, they don't offer a 6 speed with a sunroof...just gonna get some real numbers to see when I can pull the trigger. I'll give ya a heads up when the parts removal starts.

They will for 2013 "grand touring" model if you want to wait a little longer

problem with that is; once the price gets up that high, might as well get a speed3. it's a tricky situtation...

that was my thinking, but you'll still have lower Insurance, Higher mpg's on cheaper gas, a sunroof, less torque steer, and a not so cheap feeling interior

Tomorrow I go back to Mazda to get actual numbers for a new car...then de-modding can start...very mixed feelings about it

Oh herro! My name is Evan, I'm a protege parts vulture. I have a car on jack stand s for 3 months I love to throw parts at.

I'm going to save $100 a month until 2017, then use that as down payment on a new RX-x. Just don't tell Justine, because that money is probably needed for our wedding and house in 2014...

And my car would have to last until 2017, meaning it will probably have over 250,000 miles on it by that time...

I want to buya miata so bad, just to take off the shell and make my own version for it Buhahahahaha. I might have to make some ideadtion sketches for future referenses.

Will: I drove a modded WRX tonight... '06 or something, damn... nothing like the 2012 I drove. If the STI is like that, I can definitively see the appeal

you can put the interfooler on your car until you turbo it! gotta keep that bay cool man

It's possible, I just don't see them bending every other car over just to make a rotary car again

But... that's pretty much why they're putting so much effort into it.

Yeah when I test drove them it greatly exceeded my expectations which surprised me.

Anybody see the car and driver article and pics of the orange wrx and sti sedans? If I had the money the wrx version would be my next car.

They're no spicey but still really good looking

I ran the Hankook's this last year. Great tire unless it gets cold out. Then don't expect to have them warm until your last run. Awesome performance for the price and can easily get 2 years out of them. I ran more than just NWOR SCCA events too.

Damn you! I HATE TOLEDO!

We should get another dinner meet going soon. I miss my Meeps, yO.

Who's free this weekend?

 

[WillD]

Not me.

And, the weekend after that I'll be in Austin

 

[Lewis7789]

I don't like you anyway, Will. Traitor.

What are you going to Austin for?

 

[princess peach]

I started an online course today for work... I'm going to be MIA during November, except Thanksgiving

Would I be a traitor if I magically hit the lotto and got one of the orange sti's I posted above?

Jealous, I want to go to Austin
