It does. I didn't really like it for first, but I got it anyways... for $3200. Shockingly just some minor suspension wear and tear and the regular nicks, dings, and rust bubbles from a 7 year old car.
Anyhow, is anyone here on 780tuners? Any meets planned?

I am but don't spend too much time there. Only if I'm looking for parts

Holy dead thread. Whats up guys and gals if applicable?
Any projects on the go? I see esgt03 finished a turbo project (looks good BTW).
Update from my end... MS3 is still a piece of crap! Waiting for summer to take her in to Mazda to see if I have blown an injector seal or 4.
Did anyone end up going for meet last year? If not, we should meet up sometime this spring/summer.
I see mention of 780tuners. I am registered but have not posted or read there for a long time due to the dicksmacks that bash/constantly hate on there.

Thanks, its bin fun to do,I look forward to driving it. We as in wife and boy will take it to Tofino, BC for are summer trip. Nothing like turbo thur those moutains. "I'am a turbo lover" Hope your car gets fixed. I helped another fourm member get his list of parts on too!!! Yesterday at my shop.
As for the seen its bin quiet out there.(p5blue)
Some times this sport doesn't keep all, its an expensive sport.
Happy Motoring

Haha, expensive indeed.
I think I am at the point that I am going to stock the car out for a while and just enjoy driving a (hopefully) reliable vehicle.

Yeah I forgot how bad 780 was. Especially how it consists of 90% civic owners...ugh. We need a good local mazda club.
Smoke, what mazda dealer do you use? Got any pics of your MS3? I saw a damaged one on kijiji for 3500.... if only I had the time and money...
Update for me - Not much. Got my intake and header sitting in my room, as well as replacement tail light #3 from lovely people hitting me in parking lots and not leaving notes. Just waiting till it warms up, apparently by the 15th. Also my audio build is on hold for 2 reasons: Can't quite make the 2 subs fit without raising the floor 6" if I wanna keep my spare, which is a shame, because they're some decent Energy's. Looks like i'm ditching the spare and going with a FG floor box to make this false floor work. Reason 2 is my amps blow huuuuuge nuts, and reason 2b is I'm a broke, unemployed university student. Debating on waiting until April/May to start landscaping or getting a job until then to tide me over, the bills are starting to pile up. Also, looking for some new struts/maybe springs or coilovers.

I use Park Mazda. I bought my truck (B4000) and car through there. They treat me fairly good even though everyone curses them. They never voided my warranty when I had my car towed in with a connecting rod hanging on the side of the engine and mods still installed.
Sadly enough, I actually don't have any pictures of my MS3. I have either been busy driving it, or fixing/waiting for it to be fixed haha.
I am hoping this summer to have the MS3 dialed in and reliable enough to enjoy. I think my current issue on the car is a bad fuel injector seal (or maybe several). I'm trying not to pull the trigger on the CP-E seal injectors because I'm in the middle of buying a place but I don't really want to put stock injector seals back in either....

Lets bring this back up! Drove by a yellow MSP parked beside Ross Shep the other day and it made me think of this.
Soooo I'm seeing a whole lot of talk about meets but no walk
understandable, its hard to coordinate with so many different schedules. Would love to set one up though. What are your guys' availability for the next 2 weeks?
Also, I dunno if anyone has seen me around the city... you can spot me by the poorly painted graphite wheels and awesome bare/rusted metal on the passenger wheel well (ran out of paint and time to fix it, and completely lack the skill)

My MS3 is a POS so I haven't had much interest in anything car related.
I would probably show up to a meet assuming no other pressing matters pop up which they usually do.
I'm off work until next Friday (not tomorrow, one after).

Wow, that sucks man. Sorry to hear it.
I'm not that generous. I'd happily help to the best of my limited abilities though.

As bad as it sounds, I'm used to the car being out of commission haha.
So, I guess we are the only people in Edmonton on this forum anymore?

Hahaha apparently. Sucks, theres so many Calgary guys...
I do see alamo1 post once in a while and I've seen GeorgeBrotege5's car around town the odd time. I only know of 1 other Mazda enthusiast in the city, my friend's coworker with a black Speed3 and painted/pc'd wheels.
