No joke man. It was a blast. Though the mpg's weren't friendly. I burned about a half of a tank on a 120 mile trip. LOL.

Took it out on the Autobahn for the first time. Got up to 135 before I started to feel a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps with a lower stance, it would've been a bit smoother and could have gotten a bit higher.

Did you do the internals yourself? I'm looking hard at the autotech internals. I heard the rear sway makes a world of difference.

You're right. My bad. I had a gen1 true red, so I reverted to my old habits. LOL. I still have a CAI sitting around from the previous one I had. But I'm not quite ready to put it on. I want to go for handling first this time around. A RMM, shifter bushings, coilovers, and sway bar. Then perhaps...

Took a bit of an extended break from the Mazda life to try my luck with a WRX. Well, after a year of hassle, I decided to dump it; and find myself back in a 2012 VR MS3. Gotta say I am pleasantly surprised with the subtle tweaks from the '11 to '12.

Never hurts to ask. The good thing about ordering your own though, is that you avoid the typical dealer markup. They make the bulk of their money off of options. They get a standard model in, add a bunch of goodies that cost them pennies, and mark it up by thousands. So if you order your own...

Yeah, no doubt the MS3 is cheaper. Fully loaded its still the same price as a WRX. But man, that AWD is fun. And from what I'm reading, the boxer is easier to work on and tune than the DISI. They sell pretty quick here too. They don't last more than a week or two at the dealer here. You're...

I love it man. I've always wanted a WRX, but didn't really like the styling on the 08-10. When the '11 came out with the nicer styling, I jumped. Plus, we had a bit of a "freak" winter in 2010/2011, which made me want an AWD for this past winter. Add that to the plethora of aftermarket, and it...

Yeah, I hear ya man. That's the whole reason I went for the WRX when I did. Perfect deal popped up and they go fast around here too.

Actually the WRX I bought was only $3k more than a fully loaded MS3. The MS3 definitely has the better interior and handling, which is what I miss most. /threadjack Enjoy the ride man!

Very nice man! Sometimes I miss the MS3.

Got at least a couple of pics taken today after a cleaning.

I regret to say I haven't been on here in a while. Been so busy with work and all. But about 6 months ago, I traded the MS3 in for a 2011 white WRX premium. Came with the cold weather package, tinted windows and STI short shifter. Over the weekend, I got my first set of mods installed. Once I...

I guess I can do that.

Boost tubes sold.

BPV sold.

TTT Added some caveats to the prices. I've seen plenty of MS3's in the local area, so perhaps those pickup prices will entice someone to take this stuff off my hands. It's just collecting dust at this point. If you live relatively close by (KC or OKC, I'll even consider meeting up somewhere for...

Morning bump. Come on people, throw me some offers.

Morning bumpage. Prices adjusted a bit.

What prompted the move is the simple fact that I've always wanted a WRX. I wanted an AWD platform from which to build a fun daily driver. I LOVED my MS3, but the AWD was the main attraction.
