Bloody hell it's been years!

[omalak]

Since i spent time browsing this forum.. who is still around from the gen1 days here?

Ami? POGI? Thanu? Aitch?

My 08 is falling apart and rusting lol

Nice to see the forum still going strong!

[SomeGuy]

I'd hope Ami is still around lol he does own the place.

There's a few OG's still kicking around every now and then.

[omalak]

Haha cool cool. Old timers sheesh.. i see you have upgraded

[S.F.W.]

I'm still here, trying to keep the good ship TM3 floating above the water.

Where has everyone gone? It's been a ghost town. I kind of just assumed most people were chatting on some TM3/Mazda Facebook group, is that not the case?

Right now i feel like Gabe, dont think he is here anymore but i remember in like 2009 buy parts from him because he started a part out. Said he was done with this stage and had just bought house.

I laughed.. yet in 2014 I found myself im the same situation lol.. bought a house and my car has been neglected since. It has also started to rust, so I've given up on it.

Broke my rear bumper the other day and needed replacement which brought me back here to see if anyone had anything. No luck lol

Im actually not on any forum frequently anymore.. an old lonely fart now :/

Hey @omalak. I still have my 2010 GT. Running amazing and no rust at 117,000. Actually my wife has taking a liking to it so I am driving the SUV. Lol. I still drive it on weekdays doe.

My 2008 sedan is still going strong... no rust (at least none where I can see it!). Engine pulls good, minimal oil consumption, and I'm still on the factory clutch.

While I really like a new car with LED headlights, OEM bluetooth etc, financially it makes no sense to replace the one I have.

[omalak]

Now it feels lile the old time

Hey Jackal and Noisy!

Yeah i guess rust is what i get for rolling my fenders..

I havw toyed with the idea of a new car ad well but cant justify the cost. Debated going electric for commuting.

My car has 167k needs new breaks new tires and a new bumper. Oh and my borla tip fell off on the Gardiner lol.. luckily i went back and found it on the shoulder... a trip to Jimmy is in order.

Guess i cant complain wish it wasn't rusting though.

We should do an old timers meet lol.

My 08 is still kicking at 120K only. I know @RedRaptor is still lurking around. I don't think anyone other than him is on the most KM's on a Gen 1.

When you booking with Jimmy? I need to have some stuff done

i need a tranny flush, oil change, new brakes, my borla tip put back on and i need new brake fluid

when are you planning to head down?

redraptor, he always took really good care of his care! me not so much..

[cwp_sedan]

Some of us are still around.

My '07 is still running strong. Rust is creeping in though unfortunately.

I'm mostly using it for trips to the GO train station as I transit in to work. It's not getting the highway mileage it used to. I'm around 220k right now.

[Flagrum_3]

Still lurking here with my '05 GT. Coming up on 325k on the odo and still no rust. She runs like a champ too!

Im still here lurking in the shadows. I sold my 06 to MK519. He's still driving it and it's pulling strong.

I still drive my wife's 08. Rusty rear fenders.... but engine has 160k on it and it's still pulling strong. Need a new passenger MM and thats about it to the best of my knowledge

Not sure, sometime this month for sure. Last time I visited him, he only does Mon-Fri. I need to get my tensioner belt and pulley, sparkplugs replaced.

I’m still around but don’t post much.. still driving my 08.. had rust repaired under krown warranty a few times lol (rust hasn’t come back the last two years from the last repair)

I’m almost at 300,000km my car still looks brand new minus the bed liner that got sprayed all over it the other day when the can exploded haha

[MistaChin]

09 GT still ticking! Rust is slowly taking over and I hit 300k. Have a tranny swap with new clutch going in soon. Oh plus new O2 sensor.

[Jackal]

Wow a bunch of names I forgot about. I still lurk on here. TM3 was awesome while I had the car. I'm on my second car since the Mazda though.

Wow! You'll probably be the first to reach that milestone on here. Make sure you get a photo of the odometer when you hit it.
