+52.5, which is the same as the 2007-2009.

They're also 18x7.5, which is the same as the Gen I wheels too.

Aren't 1st gen wheels 18x7? The 1st gen tire is definitely narrower, 215/45/18 instead of 225/40/18 on the 2nd gen.
 
Picked my MS3 up from the body shop!

Take a look at my past pictures in my FlickR stream. Notice anything? I have never shown the driver's side in the past. This is why:

Left = before
Right = after Woodhouse Mazda of Omaha took care of it.

It was a hit and run. The @sshole never left a note or anything so I was stuck paying my $750 deductible.

Well karma's a b!tch. Hope you die.
 
Wow that sucks. At least Woodhouse Mazda did a really nice job of cleaning it up!
 
now you can never remove your side moldings.....

That's OK, my car is actually for sale...

My parents told me that now that I turned 20 I have to pay my own insurance in addition to my car payment. It's way too much for me to pay every month.
It's time to man up and get something that I can pay off outright and just pay the insurance every month. It was a hard choice but it had to be made.

-2009 MazdaSpeed3 Sport
-21,000 miles
-Rare(-ish) Crystal White Pearl color
-Brand new Hankook V12 EVO tires
-Royal Purple oil (never leaks, burns, or smokes anything)
-PERFECT paint now (I detail on the side)
-Only modification is a short ram intake.
-Separate brand new set of steel wheels and Conti Extreme Winter Contact tires (you WILL need them in NE).
-GREAT shape. Never raced, never tracked.

They always say look for an unmodified, unmolested MS3, well this is it!


So if you know anyone that's in the market, shoot them my way.
Thanks.

Wow... wish I could have afforded a Speed3 at 20. I could barely afford to pay insurance on a car I didn't pay on.
 
At 20, hmm I was driving an 89 Accord. Definitely couldn't have afforded either the payment or insurance on a speed3.

I can afford one or the other, not both. Hehe...

I bought a 2000 Volvo S40 that pissed on me for two years. Repairs totaling like $2,000 in my two year ownership period. I sold it for $500 less than I paid for it two years before. I put $10,000 down on my Speed3 when I bought it and have been paying for a year. I owe between $6,000 and $7,000 on it right now. I figure I can pick up a cheap-ish car for $12,000-$13,000 and still have fun without a car payment.

It's no fun to own a car like the MS3 and have no money left over at the end of the month to do anything.
 
So of course the first time seeing that Delaware OIF tag was yesterday when i put it on my car....and today i saw another one. Wtf!?!?!?!

Whats more? It was on an sti hatch, black with tints. I was totally teh jealous

oh, and i cant hold my own to an sti....end of statement
 
Finally got around to taking some steel wool to the exhaust tip that has looked like crap for so long:

Didn't quite get all the crap off but it looks much much better.
