2008.5 MGM Mazdaspeed3
Just picked up a used 2008.5 MGM MS3 sport w/ 25k miles. Wanted to drop in and say hello. I'll put up some picks soon however i need to paint the stock rims as the original owner painted them white and they look rather bad. On top of that they were not painted very well either. The original owner also put in HID's to my pleasant surprise (he did not tell me this as i previewed the car in the day and did not notice the ballasts) however this leaves me with the sneaky suspicion that the car was modded and then replaced to stock to sell. At any rate its still got a warranty and runs great plus cleared mechanics inspection.

Plan on immediately painting those god awful wheels and tinting. When i get around to it ill get a Rear Motor Mount (not sure which to get yet) and and an SRI. More to come later i'm sure.
 
yeah, I hate when I see stock wheels painted and its done poorly. You should have them PC'd. Also, the SRI/CAI is an awesome option. It really wakes up the DISI motor, and makes for a very healthy power increase. As for a motor mount, go with CP-e. I had the TRZ dog bone with the polyurethane, and to be honest, its a good mount, but for a DD, its terrible. Too many vibes. The CP-e is a great mount, and is literally indestructible. Let me know if you have any more questions...
 
thanks man. ill definately look into the cp-e since the dogbone MM was the one i thought i was gonna get.

it really is quite shocking for someone to keep there car so immaculate both interior and exterior yet live with poorly painted wheels. i mean theyre impossible to keep clean even after i cleaned them, there is small cracking in the paint and a couple of spokes are showing hints of yellowing. retarded... but anyways
