Thanks Phen, I am really happy with the car so far. It almost feels exactly like driving the ole' lightly modded Mazdaspeed3 from the inside, in terms of both interior comfort/styling (has bluetooth, which I use often), as well as performance/quickness/sound. On top of feeling like the car I...

12/27/2014 715 Miles I purchased winter tires from Tirerack, the cheapest I could find in a similar size-- 225/50-17 Pirelli Winter Carving Edge. I couldn't find any reviews on them, but I'm sure they will be at least better than driving on OEM summer performance tires... They were mounted at...

Hello all! My name is James and on 12/12/2014 I sold my 2008 Mazdaspeed3 with 131,000 miles, leaving the Mazda family. The very next day, 12/13/2014 I purchased a new 2015 Subaru WRX Base. I was intrigued with the re-designed exterior and FA20 Turbo engine. The interior is also heads above...

SOLD! Mods can please close the thread. I may create a new work thread for my non-Mazda in the appropriate location. Thank you to everyone who has helped me enjoy the car over the past 5 years!

$9,500 Firm Ganley Subaru of Wickliffe has a base model Galaxy Blue WRX just arrived on the lot. It is exactly what I would've ordered and probably won't last long. The Plan: Sell car. Use monies as down payment. Enjoy AWD boxer goodness. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/4792111874.html

Patrick, I would want something newer in year, but the mileage is fine anything around 30,000...Just registered on NASIOC forum, snooping for info on 2015 WRXs...base models are surprising in my price range if I can sell my car for $10k+ (not 12k), and the boxer engine sound gives me the...

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/4679348557.html Here is some hope I'm clinging onto that I can ask $12,000 for my car. Plan right now is to have it cleaned up and on craigslist by the end of this month, new car by end of November. Phen, my criteria for my next car really limits the cars...

I'm ready to move on. I want something more refined and comfortable (4door, awd) but with actually more horsepower. I'm currently looking at a 2011-2013 BMW 335xi, low miles to keep the bmw maintenance bills at a minimum I have this dream that I will always own a car that is 10x the...

129,000 oil change and tire rotation Considering selling the car, seriously, for the first time in over 5 years... Any locals have any interest?

First post updated with current modifications and the most recent cell phone pic I have of the car I took a quick look at the timing chain during a 120,000 mile oil change and it looked and felt good... I am not worried immediately, but probably need to start sourcing the parts and knowledge...
