Here is the underside of my car after 4 winters.

Up here near Toronto, bolts also rusted like the original poster's. Also rust on some of the door hinge bolts, and suspension pieces, and in the rear wheel wells.... :(

Just noticed today my rear wheel tire was extremely hot and there was a burnt smell. I suspect a seized rear-passenger caliper. Will take it in to the dealer and see what they say.

So that makes three now. Maybe I'll keep my Protege5 a bit longer. (whistle)

Are people even reading the link in the first post? 1. FWD 2. Six-speed Manual 3. Only hatch By the way, the freshened up Mazda3's (2007s) will have a 6-speed manual option, at least in Europe and Asia.

Man this guys is nuts!!

Thanks!

It's not surprising that people in power need more power and are willing to do anything to get it. I can't believe that people still think the US Govn't had nothing to do with 9/11. Guess life goes on.

On their website da-motorsport.com , it says that the M3 has 1100hp!!! It is only barely faster than the 360. Unless the 360 is also heavily modified, who knows. My vote is for the 360, even if the M3 has 2000hp!

To be honest, that seems pretty expensive for a race car. Obviously if driven they way it is supposed to be, you'll be spending another $20k rebuilding the engine/powertrain in like another 75-100 passes. I mean come on, how long is 59psi gonna last?

Sorry to 'jack this thread.... No offense, but you sound like the stereotypical Yankee. Geezz man, take a deep breath and relax. The world isn't going to end because you made a payment on a car that isn't available to you. You make it sound like the dealer took your first born and is holding...
