The car is most important. How can you get to work from that house without a well-working car? You'll go into foreclosure. You won't be able to get to your wedding either, unless you plan on hitching.

lol, all very true, but I said it was a POS. I never said it wasn't working, once it dies I'll come see you or the other stuff happens first. I'm driving her car cause she's driving my mom's car to Indy for school (so she wouldn't have to worry about her car breaking down) and I'm about to start tearing my car apart on Sunday (fingers crossed) I was going to start today but spent all day changing the coolant sensor and coil pack in my mom's car and ofcourse watching basketball tourneys
hey if you want to admit to being iffy thats fine by me... LOL
hate to break it to ya but the pics you posted are not of a Speed3 NOR a 2010...... thats without a doubt in my mind an 04-09 mz3 shell
Just wanted to add that I agree with Levi...It's a 04-09. I use the hood as the best reference point--speed hoods don't curve downwards, if that makes any sense...it also doen't have two lines running down the hood
that being said, it could be sweet for the right price!

$750 plus shipping is what they want for it. He started off at $1500. Nice catch Levi about the model. I first looked at them on my phone. Must of got it in my head that it was a speed. Love is blind..... He did say it is a 2010, I'll have to call him on Monday. But in a way its better, parts should be cheaper/easier to find! Ahhh I don't want to go to work today! The last 2 months I have worked 70+ hours each week. This is making Jack a very dull boy.
judging by that hood its def. an 04-09 cause the 2010 have the grill incorporated into the bumper not the hood.....
but its still a good price...
and for a suggestion on what to do for the blank canvas, may i mention making it RWD (the NC miata DOES have a 2.0 MZR motor) and i know you know the MZR motor since its in our 3's as well... so you could use the frame and drivetrain from an NC and then you got a motor that you already know so its WIN WIN
plus you could be the FIRST and ONLY RWD Mazda3 haha
ive had the thought to do the RWD swap with NC parts but i dont have the funds to do something like that right now LOL

Ambers car has a bad EGR valve, good news is I can see right where it is, bad news is that's it's probably not easy cause it looks like it is.
and does this scare anybody? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-0...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb5d074f8 coilover sleves for $12!

I installed SS lines and Hawk pads today, my stock pads still have more than 50% life left. If somebody wants them let me know, otherwise I'll throw them away

Lol, expected life of coil over sleeves: 23 minutes.
I've heard that the actual sleeve itself is okay, but the springs are junk. From what I've seen, the guys that want to do coil over sleeves usually get one of those ebay kits, keep the sleeve thing and toss the springs, and then get custom springs from a circle track suspension provider. They have all kinds of crazy spring sizes and rates.
