    So, I sold the white one recently, and got a 2012 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback with leather and Bose, and finally got it all put together and drove it home





    It's got 19000km on it. It was hit in the front left corner, and it's all repaired now. It still has an engine light and airbag light that I have to address, but it drives great.

    Default My old rides, to my new one

    Took a little bit of digging, but I found this thread again, and I figured I should post my new car again!

    2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv 6-speed Manual transmission.




    Things I've done already, Fog light addition, speed 3 rims, white grille, vent shades, installed my sound system, weathertech floor mats all around, run wiring behind the dash for GPS and dashcam, GT tail lights, GT steering wheel (after having 2 GT's I was always reaching for cruise where the buttons weren't so I couldn't have that), HVAC knobs added a 2.5 bumper on the back for exhaust to come

    Things for this week, get personalization options checked at the dealer (I WANT SMART SIGNALS) and tints Tuesday. Just in time for my road trip to Ottawa

    At least 6 months has been my norm but I have been really enjoying this one. There isn't too much else Id want on it. Mileage computer up top would be nice, and auto climate, but they aren't necessities. Everything else works for me.

    So, latest updates, a month ago @Sivart444 decided to move, so I got his KW V3 coils and installed them. Rears are a little low, but I loved it, until it started squeaking.



    Then I also ended up with his old tein springs, so I installed those today instead of stock while the V3's are out for warranty.



    Other little things I have done over the course of the past while.

    LED lights almost everywhere
    2-way remote start system
    Painted interior pieces piano black
    Aftermarket shift knob and boot

    Normally around this time, I would decide to swap cars, but I really like this one. The only thing I still want to change is the dual auto climate controls into the car. That is shaping up to be my new winter project.

    No more rubbing now haha. At least your back end is higher. Car is looking awesome man. Still jealous of no front plate..
    They say I'm an addict but I don't have a problem with alcohol or drugs. I'm an addict because I can't live without bass. Car audio is my addiction. And it will never change.

    Default My old rides, to my new one

    I agree. The rear looks nice now compared to how low it was on the coil. That's the height I wanted from the KW. Looks like it's time to build a spacer for the rear spring while the front it out for warranty.

    Ok. Got a few things done today. Tidy' the interior, and installed MazdaSpeed3 seats from @Darkice.



    Out with the old,



    In with the new to me,





    Also swapped into winter mode last week. This is probably how it will stay until spring.

    @Reddie1337 nice brand used seats! Any problems with the swap in terms of seat belt light being on or with the wiring?

    @FD22 needs turbo. Lol.
    @jay93
    I already wired up a power memory seat in my car, so this was strictly plug and play. But wiring the other seat up before was a bit of a pain. Nothing too terrible though.

    I believe he almost got one at one point but someone bid on it further than what he wanted to spend. I think its only a matter of time before Ryan is in a speed

    I am totally waiting for a speed. One came through the auction hit about as hard as I wanted to go, and it bid up over $8000. My cap was 7500.
