Well the mirror was separate from the install kit. I got it from the dealer with my car (but not installed) at invoice price, as listed on edmunds.com which makes for a price of $160. To buy it as an accessory though the "Mirror Base" sells for $160 and the installation kit sells for $40 if...

here's a pic of my girlfriend driving my MS3 on the Tail of The Dragon only 5 days after I bought it. She did just fine:

:lol: that guy needs medication

yeah... i take it you are looking for some as well? I'm gonna refinish them when I get them so all the scratches and whatnot on them don't matter to me.

just found another set for sale on rx8club! hopefully the guy doesn't screw me over (dunno)

What year is yours? Mine doesn't have it. The dial adjusts the sensitivity of the rain sensor.

I'm talking about the front, not the rear. 2008.5 Grand Touring which comes with rain sensing auto wipers does NOT have a basic adjustable intermittent mode.

^^ i thought the same thing at first but apparently the dealership was going to pay off his loan in exchange for the Tiburon... so it was less. And the 27840 was all the payments added plus the 3000 down. Not a terrible deal, but could definitely be better.

and if you don't take Kain's advice and you finance it for 72months anyway, at least get Gap Insurance from your lender so if you wreck it, you won't be stuck with that big debt.

:lol: Much to my chagrin, it was actually more of a PITA than I expected since there is not a preexisting wiring harness for it like on most cars where it is optional. You have to splice into a circuit down in the driver side kickpanel and then run the wire behind the trim all the way up the...

I would definitely attend, but on the 28th, I'm flying out to Washington for a week to climb Mount Rainier. This is me last April on Rainier:

And one last thing, Using Edmunds.com you can request quotes from all your nearby dealerships - When a dealership receives a quote request from Edmunds, that also tells them that you are shopping around for a good price and are probably in contact with several other dealers. This speeds up the...

so you're going to pay $27840 for a MS3 Sport? Sounds like a BAD deal. For comparison, I recently financed a MS3GT at a purchase price of 22,889+tax/title/tag which came to an out the door price of 24,225.12. I got the loan from USAA but most online loaners or credit unions would give a...

I am in Manassas. Skyline Drive is not really my favorite because of the speed patrols (that, and I bicycle it a lot so I spend enough time on that road as it is :p) but 211 is fun, if not a bit short lived! Heading out a bit farther west, 33 is a hoot, as is 250 (down by Staunton). I've been...

yeah i have been using the Aux input but am dissatisfied with it because it of course doesn't charge the iPod and the output is not at full line voltage so i have to crank the volume way up. Admittedly, I do like retaining full control of the iPod navigation (including ability to rate songs)...

Hi, After 8 years of Subaru WRX/STI ownership, I have jumped ship for a 2008.5 Black Mica Mazdaspeed3 Grand Touring and I'm loving it so far. I've recently found this forum as well as the other big mazda3 forum and so far I much prefer this one, mostly because of the vBulletin and also the...

Old thread, I know, but I can also explain some of the many effects of scrub radius. All these effects consider going to a more positive scrub radius (i.e. the tire is farther out than normal, like when you put on a smaller than stock offset wheel): 1) Torque steer is increased 2) Track width...

Any idea what the spring rates for the Mazdaspeed springs and stock MS3 springs are? The tonkin site says it's a 15mm drop which sounds fine to me...

I would actually really be interested in springs that DON'T drop much at all... like a half inch or less, but with stiffer rates. Does anybody make such a spring set for the MS3?

Not everybody gets ticketed, I'm sure. It's one of those rules a cop can pull you over for if he just wants to give you a hard time (i.e. if you are making an ass of yourself)
