    Correct invoice price?

    Yes but there is only a 1500-to 2k mark up on this car, 500 over inv is a good price on any new model year, now if you wait 3 months then go try and buy an 07 speed 3 you should be able to get below invoice.

    Another RIP MS3

    Wow, glad to hear your alright, did you head on, because the amount of damage would seem like you did, but it does not look like the roof buckled or the glass shattered which I would expect from how bad the front looks.

    First time out to the track tonight.

    I was not saying you were, its just that hardly anyone on these forums I think could put a 14 even down. on a Stock MS3. But yeah I would like to know if your loosing boost too, because I do not spike as high as others are claiming they spike, I spike to like 17psi in 3rd and 4th and settle and...

    First time out to the track tonight.

    I ran in 86 degree weather and the best I netted was a 14.66. First run I bogged the launch and hit 15's second run I forgot to take dsc off and nose dipped just before second but still pulled a 14.66 2.38 60 foot time. But just like you give me 60 degree whether on a warm track with lower tire...

    First time out to the track tonight.

    People think those are stock times but it took Car and Driver like 32 trys before they got that 14.0 and I'm assuming that was with a profesional driver. Those time seem adequate for the modifications with an amatuer driver behind the wheel.

    Calling all MS3 sport owners

    I am almost to the point where I would pay for that paint job. I love my Black Mica but I really miss the Pearl Water White I had on my 06 M3 hatch. I know this was back aways but as far as the stereo with bose is concerned. I have modified with it, and the only real successful way to deal with...

    dealer recommendation in southeran calif

    Go too Oak Tree Mazda or Galpin, only dealer who stocks more parts then my dealer in the Southwest. The only dealer in California with a descent service customer satisfaction score is Wheeler Mazda. Galpin does the most volume of New Car Sales in CA so that might be your best place for price of...

    For the love of God!!!

    If the body shop you are at will not cover your deductible find a different one that will, and just ask for it. The body shop will more then likely do it because that 3 thousand job will turn into 5 thousand when they tear everything down watch. If they want your business theyll cover the...

    What grade of Oil to use

    Redline 5W-30, Also off topic, stay away from synthetic tranny fluid, I was going to put it in my mine but, a tech directly from Mazda of America said that do to the 3 shaft set up in our trans, that synt oil would actually cause more grinding of the gears

    I hit a racoon

    Absolutely a good thing, if you have ever driven or owned a mazda 3 the steering feel is incredible but almost unconnected to the car. Its like it is too easy, imagine the torque steer that would cause with the Speed3. Not to mention the unconnection you would have through turns with the power...
