So I got this new car a few weeks ago and man am I glad I got it when I did. It seems as if every other day some poor guy (or gal) is getting there Honda jacked. Well, being that I had a pretty nice turbo EM1, I was just asking for my car to get stolen. By the way fuck all of you lazy ass mother fuckers reading this who like steal other peoples shit because you are too worthless to make anything of yourself. (done with rant) I loved that car and I still do but you cant beat 263hp/280tq for $23,700 out the door. On top of that my car looks like Mom's grocery getter, so I dont grab too much attention. Anyways, hopefully Ill see everybody out in the parking lots, on the streets, and at the strip when it gets warm out. These pics are just some quick shots before it gets tucked away for two months.

 

Nice car! I like those new Mazda turbos they are quick. Not to mention they sound incredible with some exhaust and other small mods. I know of a black one in the Sterling area but it's the new Mazdaspeed 6 Turbo it's black and hes got a few things on it.

 

The exhaust sounds great as it is right now. Its surprisingly loud for a stock exhaust. The car is still so new that everything is pretty much "in development." The stuff that is out is way over priced because they have no competition. Mazdaspeed wants $800 for their intake and $1200 for their exhaust. They can take that and eat shit. I think Im gonna wait awhile so I can watch the prices come down.

 

nice!

i'm contemplating the MS3 as my next car....

good choice on the color too....

 

There nice but I have herd the Mazda(ford) over rated the motor. And the after markert support is wores then my wifes redline.

 

Check out http://www.bellengineering.net/ and see what they have to offer if you are looking to upgrade your speed3.

 

lets not get started on the underrating shat again. they are putting out the power they should. do a search and you will see what i am talking about.

229whp is right on par for a 260crank hp car w/ a ~13% drivetrain loss.


check about halfway down the page

Wow that was defencive. I understand the crank veres wheel HP. All I'm saying is that you wont see 260 on a dyno you will see less. If you look at the window sticker from my wifes Redline you will see 200hp if you put it on a dyno you will see 205 or so. The point of my post was to say that the numbers are inflated if you ask me because you arent going to pull you motor put it on the dyno and then test it to get the 260. You are going to DRIVE to the dyno and put the CAR on the dyno and get the numbers to the WHEELS. I dont give a crap what the crank power is I want wheel hp.

 

dont they have a new SAE rating nowdays.

Nice mazdaspeed 3, I'm kinda curious about the cars since i have read about them.Custom fabrication is also another way to take care of things if you are really trying to get something done like a FMIC or exhaust system.

 

You got rid of your car? Did you sell it?
