    Default New Gen 1 Speed3 Owner

    Just wanted to say hi. I just bought an 07 Mazdaspeed3 with 120,000kms on it.
    I have had it about a month and so far mods are as follows;

    Cobb SF Intake
    Cobb V3 AccessPort stage 1 93oct+SF
    Cobb Knob
    Cobb Shifter Weight
    Rally Armor Mudflaps
    Redline MT 90 trans fluid

    Loving the car so far. Looking to get out to the track sometime in 2015. Would love to get to know some of the guys on here and learn more about this car!

    Done. 175-180psi, got valves cleaned, getting sway bar bushings changed and stiffer bar in back. Changed trans fluid. Putting new brake package on in spring to handle track duty. Getting undercarriage sprayed this week.

    Just trying to cover all my bases to make sure the car is in the best running condition.

    Will be doing RMM, upgraded HPFP internals, Michelin Pilot Super Sports and turboback exhaust next year.
