just traded up

[castner]

hey guys. im a teenager and ive just upgraded from a 2005 mazda 3 hatch to a 2008 mazdaspeed 3 sport. i dont expect this from this forum because you guys are good people but before anyone asks, yes i am 17 and no my parents did not buy this car for me. i work for the dealership and am doing payments on it haha. im used to dealing with the vw community and they all dont know how to appreciate a car that doesnt break all the time and criticize. now lets see if i can get some pics up

Looks great man, you got the best color.

 

[ROTAg]

Yup, white on black is full of win. Much approval

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Jelly for that being your car at 17!

 

[castner]

thanks for the feedback guys haha and yes white is the best color IMO. ill post pics of the rims that are being put on soon xxr 18x8.75 +20 gold

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Welcome. Best color for sure. What are your plans?

 

[WillD]

Congrats on the new car purchase! I agree with Jdm, I'm super jealous I wish I had (aka could afford) that car when I was 17!

I'm curious, what do you do at the Mazda dealership?
And your car looks really low what are you running?

Any future mod plans?

 

[zoomzoomMSP]

nice car for sure!! haha took me 31 years and i lost track of how many cars and trucks ive gone through before i owned my mazdaspeed3. good for you!! any rate, nice stance....your sittin low for sure, aftermarket springs??? check your clearance with the new wheel setup, may need to roll the fenders.

 

[DuoofDeath1]

Are there any engine mods done to it? Based on how it looks, the previous owner must have done stuff to it beyond just springs and mudflaps...

 

[castner]

ok so its on bc coils it has a catless downpipe, ecu flash cp-e intake and bpv or bov (not really sure) and rally armor mud flaps. im probably forgetting stuff but ill post thigs as i remember

[castner]

ill be posting pics as things change but the cars name is Homewreaker. my girlfriend named it... also i completely detroyed a subaru on the highway today hahaha

 

[castner]

so discounttiredirect refused to sell me the tires i ordered because of a low load rating. is a 1279lb load rating too low or should i order the tires from another website?

 

[DarkAngel]

What tires were you planning on running?

I've used onlinetires the past few times I needed tires, I just buy the cheapies but they probably have what you are looking for.

215/35/18 but im going up a size to 215/40/18 so i dont have to get the speedo fixed

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Go wider. 225 would work well on the stock wheels. 235 is just a tad too much for 7.5" wide wheel in my opinion but the 225 would work really well.

215/35/18 but i just ordered 215/40/18's and for the future i want to get a gv front lip, 3 inch turbo back and a garrett turbo upgrade
