I passed 6666 miles.... watch me throw a rod, have my motor mount snap, intake break off, inlet shatter, exhaust blow up, oil evaporate, steering wheel melt, tires flatten, turbo self destruct, and coffee spill all at the same time!

Oil change. Ordered decals for sponsor programs as well as a tire pressure gauge so I can stop mooching off others and using my crappy stick one.

My auto-x results from the weekend for those of you who care:
I am not at all happy with the results. I did not win DSP with as big of a margin as I would have liked. Here come the excuses.....
First time on R-comps and coilovers and didn't know how much grip I had. Could've gone soooooo much harder. Heat one was interrupted by an early lunch break before the vendor left. Because of this we did two runs at separate times so I never got as much heat in my tires as I would have liked. Poorly designed course that was meant for tiny cars and go-karts. Even the seasoned veterans complained that it was way too tight. The slaloms weren't even paced off correctly! The course had no rhythm to it at all. The car that took FTD was on street tires! WTF is up with that! Still, I won my class and didn't do too bad in the PAX results so I can't complain too much so, rant over. Results below.

Take it with a grain of salt though. He ran in heat two so there was no break in between his runs and he had a co driver. He got lots of heat into his tires before his last run. You can see his times go down as he gets more heat into the tires. Plus he is also a great driver and has been doing this for years.

I'm pretty much making excuses for not having enough experience lol. I didn't know how much grip the tires would have. After I got done I was like wow... I could've gone soooo much harder.
WHOOOO! Today I just drove home my 2008 Black Mica Mazdaspeed3 from the dealer. My first stick (previously drove a CX-7)... Glad to be part of the Mazdaspeed family now! Thanks to everyone for their knowledge and willingness to spread it over this fantastic forum! WHOOOO!
BTW it is a Sport with 45,000 miles

How do you like the seafoam? Does it help?

I washed and detailed mine today. It only took me a little over two years to get around to it...(2thumbs)

Ran down to the local Tax Collector's Office and retrieved my new personalized license plate, came home and slapped it on:
Good one!
Why are you using seafoam on a brand new car, or any car in this case?
