    Default New guy looking for help with Mazda 3

    Hey everyone, I just found this forum thanks to help from xlr8shen. I just got a Mazda 3 5-door and looking to mod it out. Are their any Mazda clubs in the Atlanta area?

    Can hardly wait for the MazdaSpeed 3....

    Cheers,
    The Baron...

    You might have a little more luck in the Mazda forum finding a club. Welcome to IA

    GA_Teg,
    Do you know the URL for the Mazda Forum? I've been out of this for a while and just "tasting" the sweet beer of speed again.

    Default Mazda 3 and M-3

    That list is cars I've owned, not cars I beat!

    The M-3 I had was great. But let me tell you, the maintenance on a Bimmer will kill you... And the insurance...

    To make a long story short, the Mazda may not be as fast, but its almost as much fun for less than 1/2 what I paid for the M-3. AND I can probably put 10K into the Madza 3 and make it beau coup Faster then what the M-3 was.

    Besides, that was a 98 Bimmer, a lean machine. The new Bimmers are like "Tanks". Except for the M-5, I prob wouldn't touch one.

    Default Just got windows tinted today...

    Just got my windows tinted today. 15%. So I need another hug.

    I also bought a sunroof wind deflector at Mazda. Talked to the dealer and they claim that a new exhaust or new intake won't void the warranty.

    But turbocharger prob will.

    btw, I was waiting for them to get done, and this guy pulled up in a supercharged, Saleen Mustang, customized.

    Sweet.
