    Default Ditched the tC today....

    Bought this...

    08 Mazdaspeed 3
    26K miles
    Leather
    Nav
    Intake
    Turbo Timer
    I'm assuming its got an exhaust as well

    Been driving it off and on the last few days and I absolutely love it. Got it from the dealer I work for at an absolute steal. Fender was crunched in an airport parking lot. Had it checked out by a body shop its all good underneath.

    Tint, trow my subs in some wheels eventually and thats probably it for awhile honestly

    Welcome to the wonderful world of Mazda. Those are awesome cars, just keep both hands on the steering wheel if you floor it.

    Torque steer FTL.

    It's funny I've been reading about the legendary torque steer on these cars but actually experiencing it........my god. Makes for an interesting experience.

    I was going through the books and stuff for the car. Found out it had just been serviced 1K miles ago and was inspected and I found the original window sticker.

    they're fun- while the motor runs... Once it pops and the dealership denies all warranties, thats when there're no more fun as alot of MS3 and MS6 owners have found out...
    Good Luck.

    I can vouch for those Mazda 3's, Get that fender pop and you'll be good to go. Good Pick.

    I pulled out into traffic one time and a guy in a MS3 was in the next lane over, already going with the flow of traffic. I got into the throttle to get up to speed and noticed he started getting it a little. So we both looked over and laughed. When we went from a roll, we were DEAD even, it was weird, I've never seen 2 cars that similar in spool and power band.

    Anyways, thought about swapping to a FMIC, and maybe a boost controller?

    upgrade, i've never had the privilege to drive one, but i've ridden in quite a few and they are pretty impressive. Fix the fender and some new wheels and you've got urself a clean car

    Hey welcome to the speed family!! you will love the car. Check out mazdaspeedforums.org and if you have any questions about the car feel free to shoot me a PM!!

    oh and as far as first modifications. RMM is key, OEM one is trash.
