Hey all,
Been a while since I've been around these parts. It's been a decade since my Mazda3 has been gone. How's everyone doing? Anyone still around from the old days (2010-2013ish)?
Hope everyone's staying well and healthy!

Certainly are some original members still hanging around. A lot of newer members as well.

Hello !
You should come out to next mazda car meet and bring the Aston.
Perhaps we could do a meet at Cayuna ... They recently opened for lapping. Social distancing ineffect.
CAr, drive and your crew....

My ol 2006 gave its life to the rust gods about 5 years ago, I'm now rockin a 2010 hatch.
Still lurk the forum from time to time
Happy to see some familiar faces posting here.
I pretty much only drive for hockey so the car's been mostly parked last 3 months. I need a TM3 plate cover for the Ninja!
Nice to see some familiar names here. Hope everyone is staying safe and getting their second vaccines.
I might pass by in one of the AA meets when it comes back.

I still lurk occasionally. My '08 is still on the road. It's my daily driver (well, sort of giving I've been WFH for a year an a half...). I can't believe it's been thirteen years!

I test drove a 2011 GT and 2014 GT with auto transmission while looking for a used car for my wife. Not even close to my 2006 GT with manual transmission. I definitely regret trading in my 2012 Charger SRT, but those two 2011 and 2014 Mazda3s I drove made me appreciate a lot more the way my current 2017 CX-5 GT drives and handles. We eventually went with a 2015 Honda Fit EX, which for me, drives totally like an A to B car. Maybe I'll get another Mazda if the next gen actually has decent power and brings back the zoom zoom feeling.

im still here. even though i might be moving up from the mazda in the next week or so. ive been working for Hyundai for about 7 years now. and there a super clean driven by old people 2013 sonata 2.0T with 140 000 km on it and its had every service and then some done to it for almost a wash what i would sell mine for. so thinking to move up to something a bit bigger. leather seats pano roof. and 100,000 km less then the 3. other wise my cars still driving strong and hauls ass. im going to miss it for sure.
Thought I'd install tapatalk and randomly check in
Still got the MS3. Doing my 2nd engine rebuild. This time will be a lot better and I'm doing the assembly myself this time around with help from friends.
Pulled the engine myself which was a first for me. Pretty good for someone who 6 years ago barely knew how to use jack stands...
Engine at the machine shop and hopefully coming home this week to start assembly. Not looking to do anything crazy just a basic forged engine build maxing out the stock injectors on the street and tuning for 320-330whp for the track.

I wish i had the space to able to lift and plug an engine or work the suspension.
I am surprised you can pull 330whp from stock injectors.
I need to put mine on a dyno ...i should be close to 200whp (2.0L NA) with the lighter forged
and flowed head, lighter balanced crank and better rod bearings ...it all add to a better performing solid engine .
Dang,,,i finally put in the 4LB lithium battery too. I should be sitting just under 2600 lbs.
She certainly sounds different too. Hurry up and build that monster i need a fast mazda to chase..
