New guy

[Bennay]

What's up guys? I'm new to the Mazda scene, but am lovin' the new Mazdaspeed3. I'm starting a new job this week which will pay pretty good and am hoping to get a Speed3 with my newfound cash. I might have to wait until November at the latest (3 speeding tickets drop from my insurance record and I turn 21, making it a HELLOFA lot cheaper) but would really like to get into one asap. I'm coming from a VW Passat *flamesuit on* - couldn't pass up a 60 hp/tq gain from $250 - and had a few other mods on that. Should I worry about anything (I read a while back the tranny was kinda weak for the power she puts out) or know anything before I buy? I live in Saint Cloud, MN...but am often in the Twin Cities, anyone I should get to know? Thanks in advance.

Ha thanks, I'm set for a while before winter hits. Any suggestions for mods? Big or small, ICE or engine, I'd like to know where to look to see all my options. Thanks!
