New member here actually I was a member from when the site was msprotege.com, (the artist formerly known as sybrfreq) but my white 323/protege was traded this February. Great first car.
Well I'm here because I'm looking at doing a couple small things to the car since I’ll be driving for a living until I graduate (i.e. fog lights, *maybe* a sports muffler, if the 18" ms3 wheels will fit that would be dandy for next spring, especially in dark bronze powdercoat or gunmetal)
Problem with upgrading the wheels and muffler etc is I don’t want to kill the fuel economy. Do they make low profile 18” LRR tires? (lol2)
It is a 2012 Mazda 3s Grand Touring (w/tech pkg), hence the name...hehe.
Hope you all like! That is my other whip, a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ (now my garage guard dog).
I already added a factory Mazda-dealer installed remote start system. Then I plan a Corksport Exhaust, Corksport Strut Bar, and Corksport Intake. No 'steal-me' stickers though, the exterior will stay clean.
Almost 2 weeks ago, I bought a 2010 Mazda3 Grand Touring in Graphite Mica. I've been having an absolute blast with it! I come from about 13 years of econocars ('93 Corolla for 10, '94 Camry for 2+) so this is a whole other experience for me. I'll be lurking mostly as I learn more and more about my new baby. See you around!
New owner, as well as new member here. M3 Skyactive i-touring auto. No pics yet. Not even broken in yet, 800 miles. Getting over 39mpg on the highway. 39.7mpg, 39.3mpg. Love it! Tom
Been lurking the forums for a while and decided to actually post some stuff up.
Own a 2010 Blk Mica Mz3s 2.5L Hatchback.
I have a lot of goodies inside the car that I'm proud of.

Short video of my virgin mazda.... It won't stay this way for very long.
Tint, stereo, swaybar, lowering, HID projector retrofit, summer wheels all on the mod list.
Hey. I'm new to the Mazda family. Used to drive a base '09 Matrix with A/C, P/L and P/W. Currently the proud owner of a 2012 Mazda 3 Sport SkyActiv with GS-Leather package. She's Indigo Nights (Stormy Blue), six-speed manual with black leather interior. I'm currently rolling stock, as I'm still in training and missing a few allowances (RCN Electrician btw).
