It's a 2007 MazdaSpeed 3 in Cosmic Blue.

 

Nice car, congratulations.

That's one of the best bang for the buck cars on the market.

I also like the fit and finish of the interiors in Mazda's.

 

Grocery getter.

 

And a quick one too.

 

nice car, can we get some pics of the engine and interior

 

Just test drove one yesterday, and I was pretty impressed. Then I went to sit down to buy it, and with $5000 downpayment, they still wanted $600 per month for a 48 month buy.

I'm going with a WRX.

 

They raping you at that price. I only had $1000 down and my payments are $412/month for 60 months.

 

Here you go.









This is the cave like glove compartment. It reaches all the way to the firewall.

 

Heres mine.....

 

kurt, how far are you from the princeton, nj area?? we have weekly meets with all different mazda 3's plus tons of other modified cars.

come to mazda3forums.com btw, i'm mazdaj over there.

my current mods are ms cai, turboxs racepipe, twm shifter bushings, awr rear mount, prosport boost gauge...my new twm ss will be arriving on wednesday!!!

mod that bish!!!

 

..

 

I have a BEGi cold air box and Forge bypass valve being shipped to me next week. Also I have a oil filter adapter kit coming in that replaces that POS cartridge style filter with a traditional spin on filter. After the next paycheck, the I am getting the same boost gauge that you have. Did you install the gauge yourself or did you take it to a shop?

I unlocked the trip computer last week.

 

Im not too familiar with this car, but what are the specs on it? Does it respond well to tuning?


What kind of numbers are you looking at ?

 

the boost gauge was very straightforward but time consuming. you can def do it yourself, i did all the work on my car.

streetunit.com and cp-e are your friends. your forge bpv is going to sound good, but its really an unecessary mod at this point until you get more power.

read this article if you want to get a good idea about the factory mods

keep in mind these guys dont know how to drive the car and people with fewer mods have gotten much better numbers, like low 13 with just a cai.

also my car was 22,500 and i put about 400 worth of mods and im just as quick as the above mentioned mazdaspeed 3 in the article. that one cost like 30,000 because they got the pointless upgraded package with leather and all those ms parts are expensive.
