Well, a year later and I finally got my suspension installed. I know, no pics, but you really can't tell that its lowered anyway. The Bad: Visually, you cannot tell the car is lowered...at all. When I pull up to a curb, I can tell it is a little closer but thats about it. I will hit the front...

I was just curious to see how people fill their tires. I have stock 17 Goodyear RSA's. The recommended pressure is 32. I fill mine to 35. I found that I: 1. Get better gas mileage 2. Less body roll 3. Better steering response 4. Better tire wear 5. No noticeable degrade in ride quality Other...

I am at a point that I am totally pissed about my car. My glovebox rattles, my stereo and dash rattle over big bumps and uneven roads, my drives seat squeaks, my driver door has a rattling noise and I have this annoying chirp sound when I accelerate or go over certain types of bumps. Does anyone...

Just got my new issue of Motor Trend (Nov. 06) and as expected Mazda handed Subaru a FWD vs. AWD Beat Down! Not to mention it costs $3k less for a similarly equipped car.

I don't know why this forum is always behind the "other" mazda 3 forum, but there is a new kit available from Koni. I am interested to see who will be the first to get the kit. I am definitely interested when I get the money...

Just got my Oct. issue of Motor Trend and they have an "as tested" 0-60 time of 5.8 sec. I think the torque limited 1&2 gears raise the #'s some as I am sure with a little tuning and some racing slicks (or even better street tires) a low five is very possible.

Has anyone found a paint that matches or closely matches the silver paint in the interior? I know it is a super matte paint but maybe there is one out there?

I installed a MS CAI on Friday and had a chance to test it out this weekend. Overall impression: Waste of money. Actually all intakes I have had have been a waste of money. The increase in power is not noticable and there is a flat spot at 4k rpms. Not to mention that you definately lose some...

Well, I finally have it. After a year and a half of posting on these forums I finally got my 3. I bought it as an early fathers day present to myself because I am a damn good dad.(bowdown) Anyway, I got a whitewater pearl 06 touring 5 speed with moonroof/6 disc, leather, rear spoiler and...

This car is absolutely gorgeous! "I'm utterly and completely smitten by the RS4. Not only is the best looking supersedan on the market, it's also one of the fastest and most faithful point-to-point cars in the world. The driving experience is simply phenomenal, the V-8's cultured howl is...

I am looking at getting a Mazda 3or 6 or a VW GLI. Because of gas prices this will be a big determining factor in my decision. What kind of mileage is everyone getting for a 5 speed 6s?

I have never heard about this until now. I actually thought it was a joke. What do you guys think? http://www.caranddriver.com/roadtests/11029/road-test-review-2006-ford-futura-sprint-gta-wagon.html

Ford Restyles Design Departments Ford is shuffling its design staff around the world, and several key pensmen are landing in new slots. Moray Callum, formerly the head designer at Mazda, will become design director for Ford cars. He'll be replaced at Mazda by Laurens van den Acker, who becomes...

I am looking to get a Mazda 3 in the next couple of weeks and wanted to see if there are any salesmen or if anyone knows any they can recommend. I think I decided on a white or silver 3s GT 5 speed. I appreciate any help, Thanks. BTW, my email is rhagel23@hotmail.com.

As usual, Mazda is slow to the game and it pisses me off. What the hell is there problem! This week at the Chicago Autoshow Dodge announced their 300 hp SRT4. It is ugly as hell, but still 300 hp. Honda announced their Civic Si Sedan based at $20k pretty nicely loaded and an 8000 rpm redline...

Just got finished reading a comparison in this months issue of R&T SPEED magazine (unfortunately after 7 issues they axed the publication for online only (notcool) ) The MS6 came out on top over a Legacy GT Spec B. and an Audi A4 2.0T in last place. It was a pretty good article though the Subi...

Ddid I see a motor mount insert for the passanger side mount somewhere? If so , can someone direct me to where I saw it? Thanks.

I heard awhile ago that the Koni suspension was a completely new shock for the rear and only inserts for the front. Is this still true, or did they release a complete strut for the front? Tirerack seems to indicate that it is complete. Also, will they work for the '06 6's?

I got a chance to drive a MS6 the other day and oh my god, it was f*ucken awesome! It was a Steel Grey with white leather/black inserts. The interior was beautiful, not only the seats, but the new grey dash is so much better than the old silver. The seats were very comfortable and had very good...

Here is a picture that I got from Road & Track's website. It was taken at SEMA displaying the Mazdaspeed accessories available. Looks pretty crappy to me, I hope the MS3 doesn't look this way. I don't like the way the wheels look on the car, maybe if they were 18's.
