that frankenstein-ing scares the s*** out of me, especially since that right panel/ door frame has been fixed & replaced before from the previous owners body damage. i would assume it would put the overall shell in even a more fragile state with two repairs in the same area. how much if you...

destineal thanks for your concern, i got shifted vertebrae or something along those lines according the doctor in my lower back and neck.

13.2k for fair value, she's been pretty beat before i purchased her and mazda did over 7k of work. good to hear from an experienced body worker as yourself josue6wgn I'm going to demand all new parts i mean i JUST got her back from the shop for motor issues the day prior to this accident, and...

That bad? lol

minding my own business on the highway in a dead stop the bastard behind me driving his yaris is on his phone slams on his brakes and boom! on the way to the hospital with back and neck pain on a stretcher. damage: bumper ripped in two, rear door smashed in, right tail lights broken, the wheel...

2009 owner, the cars a beast but she's had quite a few check-ups thanks to the previous owner who beat her senseless. none the less it was all covered by mazda, she's literally a new car. VVT was the only issue....and haters.

hi all, well seems like ill be purchasing another pair of rota torques this time 18x8 +48 for the MS3. looking to put some super beefy nexen N series tires on them, rolling the fenders won't be an issue if it comes to that. which size would best fill the wheel well? P.S. the car IS NOT...

respect for the initial D video, go takumi!

Congrats!!!! Pretty slick deal you got since it had aftermarket parts. Enjoy the beast.

Wasn't too thrilled with HR after my install but according to the techs at Mazda the HR springs caused a minimal change in camber the spc was not recommended, and service knew of the springs, i have since taken the springs off though.

Mud flaps aren't going to help with the wheel chips, but I can tell you the mud flaps have saved the rest of my car from countless rock chips. I have wide wheels and used to get chips spat up all the time from my tires on a turn. The crappy florida road debris doesn't help either.

Its getting worse by the month my friend! Especially in Florida. At times I wish I had a ram bar like cops do

That's about right i got my 09 with 24k miles for 17k without extended warranty, I've had mazdas before and most stuff goes at around 70k, so the extra warranty for 2k is worth it. The car though is totally worth it, people will bow down haha.

Rear mud flaps, mazdaspeed bra (thanks south Florida debris), and my rota torques put on......again. I removed my H&R springs a week ago i hated the drop, the rear was lower than the front :/ never again unless it's MS coil overs. looks and feels 100x better at stock height. Next mod: my debt lol
