I can't download the silver image one

I'm assuming your talking about the updated silver gauges? This was announced ages back but I hadn't seen a pic yet.
 
ok, I found what your talking about....killer is, the little silver things aren't on the grey one, just the yellow one

One thing I've noticed, and you have to look really close, and see a lot of pics of all 3 cars, and see the paint in person before knowing what I am talking about.


The paint isn't doing it's thing in this light.

The orange is the same way. In all of these CAIS pics, the color isn't showing like it does in person, you only get hints of it around the edges of the car, and not the full effect. This paint really needs a good sunlight to be at it's best. But at least the grey doesn't look pale in this light.

Limited....take a look at my sig. The woman don't like orange or yellow, so grey it is. It's the only color we both like. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

The pics are from my best friend. he's in TO. I asked him to take some specific pics, and he did....too bad their so blurry. But he got the pics I was hoping to get except a few minor ones.

I don't know what the piece is called..
but the comparison that i was trying to tell you in the silver part that the needles is mounted to is now silver. Mine is black. i guess you knew that already...oh well. New for me :P

Cool touch! I love these minor details.

So it's official Canada is getting the WRX Sti? How much is it going for?
 
in one of the pictures you posted of the STi...i notice the shock tower is red. Did they tweak or spice up the Sti's suspension in someway?
That is one killer car now. 4wd, 300hp & torque with LSD.
now suspension too?
YIKES! :D

Suspension, brakes, 6-speed, engine, interior, and front and rear LSDs have always been part of the STi coming to North America. The STI bears less resemblance to the WRX than the MAZDASPEED Protege does to a Protege ES.
 
I like the yellow of course.... But thats not fair...and here to think that I had a one of a kind.........Damn Mazda!:eek: :wtf:
 
I am new to this board and was wondering if the 2003.5 will be the same price as the 2002's. Also has anyone installed a downpipe in their car and if so what kind of gains did they see.

Well, your yellow isn't metallic like the MSP yellow, so unless they make the vivid yellow available on the ES/LX/DX, your car will stay unique.
 
a friend of mine sent me 2 pictures of the Toronto Auto Show that he took of the MAZDASPEED. He's not a Mazada ethusiats so, there's only these 2 from the batch....
another perspective i guess..
Enjoy.

are we sure those wheels aren't darker?
If you mean darker than they look in the pictures, yes, I think they are. I think the whole car is darker in real life, as I've seen the color on the Miata. The same wheels always look darker on the yellow because digital cameras don't over expose the picture as much with the brighter color.

Maybe more like this (30 sec editing job...)

I would have said the pic L.E. posted was closer to the actual colour than the photoshopped one. Its not nearly that dark (by my eyes).
