Hi!
Welcome to tm3, let's get off on the right foot, and not have everyone jumping down your throat by taking a quick look through this post.
It contains links to some of the most often asked questions on tm3 that will get older members in a tizzy if you ask about them.

We realize the tm3 search feature is not the best, but you can give it a try.
The best way to search tm3, is in fact, from google. In your search query type:
site:torontomazda3.ca/forum YOUR SEARCH.
This seems to offer excellent results.

Here is a quick list to threads of questions you may have.
This will be updated with the suggestions I'm given.

More Senior members, I'm looking for threads on how mod's will affect your warranty, and going in for an oil change with mods. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. If you know where one is located, send a link my way via PM.

And of course, people should go look in the sponsors section if they are interested in rims, tires, tints, audio stuff (speakers, decks, subs, etc). And to look at the Affiliated Dealerships section for good dealerships close to them.

Also information about the various models and their jack points ;). Took me a while to find it, and ended up in a MS3 forum/blog to find the jack points. Linking to things like Suspension stuff like "Do I need camber, do I need new shocks" etc. Also a bit of formatting (Possibly link Ami's and Lockdown's names to their PM this member link, and you missed some bolding and such).

Other than that good start. I still get a PM from a forum member about HIDs after telling them ~40 times that its plug and play...

Ok moderators. Went through FAQ and didn't find my answer. How does one delete a post in the buy and sell? Specifically Auto parts. TIA.
