Random MS3 Chat Thread

[MS3Edge]

Let me share another funny story before heading out to dyno day.

You guys know why I started posting on TM3? I joined TM3 before I got my hands on my car. It was winter and I was looking for floor mats and snow tires. I found a guy on kijiji moving out and selling his snow tires and floor mats. I called him up, arranged the deal, showed up as agreed with amount agreed upon. Clean deal...he was so happy to clean up, he threw in his floor mats for no charge. I asked him if he has more stuff to get rid of and he said yeah. I asked him why he didn't sell on TM3 and he told me he didn't want to deal with "the punks" on here. I was new, so I didn't see it like that. I asked one of the mods, Joe, to post up his remaining item for me, because I didn't have enough post counts then...as the price, I think it was for a gas cap door, was really good but just not something I wanted.

6 yrs later...I am addressing this...almost on his behalf.

Oh so true @Fobio. It's been weeks and I am still getting dicked around with selling parts on tm3 with guys that don't show. But I will say that I am happy with either the brand new guys on the forum or the more mature guys.

Let me see..you drive an MZ3? lol

Hostility...the true issue here is not hostility by my post...there's some real palpable underlying issues here...that's causing true hostility here. Sure, I call bullshit for what it is and it has temporarily detracted the conversation, but that was well deserved.

My idea addresses the underlying hostility caused by a lack of common sense and common courtesy that many on here expect AMONGST FRIENDS. I think if you take a step back [maybe even look in the mirror] and realize the true hostility that came out in this thread, and realize that my idea is to address what has become an hostile environment for honest sellers into an environment that acknowledges these issues and for a way for ppl to address them...rather than have it stew and come out as vitriolic posts that gets dudes like you riled up over nothing.

Oh...and if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen...you don't see MS3 guys on here bitching about anything I've posted...except that lone wolf who bitches about everything...

And don't get it twisted...some MZ3 guys might feel this is directed towards them, but hey...lotsa MS3 guys low ball too and this also addresses that. But mostly, for those who've been around, dudes like azn_outlaw from back in the day made it a habit to snipe MS3 sales, on wait, you've only been around for less than 2 yrs...so I wouldn't be surprised if the majority if you have no idea what the hell is going on. Go back to the Friday Post Whore thread...that's where the circle jerk is.

1) MS3 owners are no better than MZ3 owners, get off your high horse, it's a $30,000 economy car.
2) You're the one bitching right now, I never started any bitching in this thread. You bitch more than I do.
2) a) You are being hostile right now, perpetuating the problem. If you want the hostility gone, change YOUR ways.
3) If you don't like the market on here, don't sell on here...go find somewhere else.
4) Shit from years ago that's long since over doesn't need to be dug up.
5) Junior members are not automatically bad people. I've dealt with people around for less than a year who have been WAY better than those who happen to have a sign up date of 2008.
6) This is TM3, not MSF, and you don't own the word NATOR...get over it.


If I were running this board, the simple solution to this problem would be to kindly kick your ass out the door and not look back. I'm sure you can find a better fit with another Mazda board out there since this one is so apparently full of problems.

[MarineMazda]

Silly MS3/MZ3 owners... should of bought a MS6 and you wouldn't have to worry about resale on parts as no one makes any.

Truth is you will get lowballed every where (TM3, Kijiji, MSF, Craigslist, etc...)

The only issue i have with NA 3's owners posting in the speed section is when they comment on something the don't know assuming the DISI motor is like any other motor. Yes it Sucks Squeezes Bangs and Blows but a bunch of things make it completely different from any other Gasoline Automotive Engine. Unless you own own or have a bunch of experience with the platform you should stay out of it, or not get butt hurt when you're told to kick rocks.

[QUOTE=Hyperion;1237504]1. Those headlights you were going to sell to me.... ya..... about those.
a. Screws were missing from the AFS portion which would lead the bulb and light to bounce on every bump you hit.
b. There's a shitton of silicone on the outside of the headlights which I would have to remove, because I could never send that to another person. All of my headights look oem when I sell them.
c. There was condensation inside the headlight...which even your super amount of silicone couldn't stop apparently.
d. The ballast was missing
e. The wiring from the ballast to the low beams was missing
f. The cap on the back of the low/hi beams was missing
g. The connection clips from the wiring harness to the AFS motor has 4 wires on yours and 2 on the others I've worked on, if you want I'll pull out GWN's headlights and show you.
Why would I spend $500 on lights with all of these things wrong. If you had to me that it was missing all of these things, I would have told you not to bother. I told you to try and sell it to someone else instead.

Why would you spend 500$ on a pair of headlights? May I start by saying if you go to the dealer these headlights are 1600$ EACH. Then add in the dust covers, the wire from xenon control unit to the bulb, the xenon control unit, the bulbs, the wiring harness for the headlight it self. You are bitching about a little bit of condensation if there was any? Oh and your claiming that the headlights are different from first 2nd gen production to current is a crock. I personally have a set of headlights off of a 12/13 skyactive adaptive headlight and they work just fine on my car. These headlights you were willing to buy off of Paul are modified with clear lenses and painted. which is an additional 120ish dollars for the clear lenses. Know what shit is worth before you start bitching people out. From my understanding you are purchasing these so you can reopen them anyways. So I ask why are you complaining?

[Hyperion]

Say what you want. If I had been told it was just the skeleton I would have said no thanks.
Anyways it's done. I don't want the lights because they are not the ones I want.

Thank god. I drive a Toyota now and I don't gotta deal with the drama. HAHA

Until you get tired of it and @Snotrocket can buy it from you for cheap as f****

[MS3Edge]

Or back out of the deal at the last minute after he says he will buy it

[Fobio]

Only ppl who have misread believe this is between ms3 and mz3 owners. I used that as an example... But ppl will hold on to whatever to talk whatever...

Also... Ppl do low ball everywhere. It means less when it's someone I don't know. When it's on TM3 amongst so called friends.. It becomes a personal insult. How can we make light of these?

Funny how it's the mods who hang on to that one thing as a reason to not do anything in response.

Baby and baby seat allows for better weight distribution. Kinda like a battery relocation

Next TMZ ... I mean TM3 meet

[Fobio]

So I ask why are you complaining?

Wanting more meat on the bone for reselling.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Wow this thread.

Such commotion.

But TM3 lowball is real.

[Pacman]

Isn't that what price negotiation and private sale is all about? If someone low balls you, then either accept or decline. It's supply and demand. If you really needed to sell, then you would accept a lower price. Otherwise, you wait for a higher offer, or find other avenues of sale
