gotcha - so say for a 08.5 or 09 model, the engine falling out is no longer an issue?

Sorry for being OT, but does that completely fix it? I've heard complaints from other drivers about this issue but no one seemed to speak of the solution.. It seems strange that people still complained about it if this recall fixed it

did people figure out what it is that makes the motor drop out of the car?

that picture of your crashed ms3 looks kind of like a 2010 mazda3

you can't WOT under 3k without peace of mind for rod damage??

I mean yea, the handling is better, as well as the ride and then I guess stuff about livability/ergonomics? I forget which ones I've read, I've read em all pretty much

lolol it's gonna be my dd, I've got a 380whp evo ix that I plan on continuing to mod. Otherwise, i'd completely agree haha thanks for that info tho, i did NOT know the chassis was the same.. that makes it a different story.. there must have been some strengthening or anything though?

good info - so you guys don't think the aftermarket has 'ditched' the first gen chassis? thanks for the info about the final drive, i was thinking that the taller gearing would be advantageous but i guess not. i'm planning on leaving the car completely stock I'm just curious because most...

i see.. no one has any big comments on first and second gen huh? that's usually a pretty big topic of discussion for car fanatics
