Wild Weasel's Cosmic Blue Mazdaspeed3

[Wild Weasel]

This is my 2007th post. It seems kinda symbolic, so I'll use it to post pics of my 2007 Mazdaspeed3. These are pics I took over the weekend after a cleaning.

Enjoy. :bana

[cyberscorpi0]

Nice. Great Pics Bro!

[Wild Weasel]

I like the fact that I took those two logo pics within seconds of one another, from different angles, and got completely different colours. :bana2

[Skarbro]

Not shaving the side mouldings?

[Wild Weasel]

Jury's still out on that one. :)

[Skarbro]

Jury's still out on that one. :)
And by "Jury", I'm assuming your wife?

[Wild Weasel]

heh. I just haven't got around to it yet.

[Caz]

That colour is really nice.

[majic]

you just had to get the domestic in there eh?

[BLKOUT]

i love the contour of the front seat! i bet it is comfortable.

[Skarbro]

i love the contour of the front seat! i bet it is comfortable.
Actually I don't recall it feeling any different than my regular 3 seats.

[Wild Weasel]

you just had to get the domestic in there eh?


Yep. Just for you, majic!! :chuckle


i love the contour of the front seat! i bet it is comfortable.

Yeah, I love the seats. Heck, I just love all the adjustability of the seating position, but that's the same for all 3's I think.

[flyinb22]

Nice pics....sure does look familiar.

[WhiteSpeed3]

looks good but its to stock lol

[chinsterr]

http://www.wildweasel.ca/images/cars/wm4/20070522/interior2.jpg

LOL and look at the plate !!!!!

I wonder what girls say to you when you come in that to pick them up !

[Zubbie]

Doesn't this belong in the spoiler abuse thread?:chuckle

j/k... great pics.

[Wild Weasel]

Good point. Should I put the roof rack on? :chuckle


LOL and look at the plate !!!!!

Well... it's been a while... but I bet they'd say "Hey sexy... does your wife know you're here??" :blush



Doesn't this belong in the spoiler abuse thread?:chuckle

j/k... great pics.

Pfft!! http://www.michelleandkevin.ca/forum/images/smiles/kitn2.gif That's a genuine RK Sport spoiler designed specifically for the Sunfire. :) And hey... it was free... :chuckle

[chinsterr]

The cosmic blue colour is really starting to grow on me , looks very similar to s2000 blue.

[Mazdalissa]

ummmm seats look soooooo inviting.....ahhhhh close enough to an SRT-4 seat (my hubbys car)

[bubba1983]

meh...you missed a spot!

[ArManI]

is there any way to get those mzspeed pedals covers?
btw, looks great ur ms3

[cereal83]

Nice car, is it fast enough for you or are you still gonna be driving the Sunfire?

[Wild Weasel]

is there any way to get those mzspeed pedals covers?

Probably, but they might be expensive. I'm sure you can find aftermarket ones that look just like them.

And thanks. :)


Nice car, is it fast enough for you or are you still gonna be driving the Sunfire?

It's faster than the Sunfire, but the Sunfire is still my toy car. I'll still be building it further and taking it to the track and stuff, while the MS3 will stay mostly stock and be the daily driver.

On the weekend though, I was out in farm country where roads are straight and empty as far as the eye can see. I brought her up to ludicrous speed and took out entire populations of bugs. :chuckle I'll post some pics in a few days. The entire front of the car was just plastered with a blanket of bugs. :complain

[Unoriginalusername]

nice pics

[active3s]

ABOUT TIME!!! and as a Spoiler abuser, I concur that the one ur sunfire belongs on the spoiler abuse thread...

[Caz]

^^^ouch! Lol

[Wild Weasel]

heh. What goes around comes around. I'm pretty sure I ripped into him for his wing as well last year some time.

It's all good fun. :chuckle

As said though... that wing IS designed specifically for the Sunfire. It's no universal ricer wing.

[SpeedBaby]

im pretty sure that the whole issue was not about any particular wing, it's about having 2 (!!!!!!!!!!!) spoilers on one trunk....i mean i guess the society should be greatful that you didn't put a third one somewhere on the roof

[Wild Weasel]

Again... installed as designed. 3rd brake light is in the stock spoiler and this one was specifically designed to wrap around it.

Of course, it does suck ass that I've had to explain that to people for years now. :chuckle I've got something in the works that will create a little pod for the brake light and get rid of the rest of the stock spoiler. I haven't had time in ages to work on it though. :(

Here you can see that it's made to fit this way...

But this thread isn't about that car! :OT

[bubba1983]

^^ you missed a spot again..

[Garu]

What is that red thing on your Sunpoof? :chuckle

[Wild Weasel]

What is that red thing on your Sunpoof? :chuckle

I know I probably shouldn't ask... but are you referring to the entire rest of the car?? :chuckle

[plusvolume]

id so love to own a mazdaspeed 3...

btw, nice car!!!

[jaM3ican]

Hi Wild Weasel,

Where did you get your pedals? and the dead pedal too?

Did they come with the car?
If so i will have go to MOT and see if i can get me some of those.

[Wild Weasel]

Yep, everything you see here is as it comes from the factory. I haven't done a thing yet.

[WhiteSpeed3]

Yep, everything you see here is as it comes from the factory. I haven't done a thing yet.

i c a YET in your post does that mean the weasel is getting ready to mod

[Skarbro]

I find the Speed3 pedals to be weird. There doesn't seem to be any logical consistency in the patterns from pedal to pedal. They look like they were mixed and matched from different pedal sets. The dead pedal especially looks out of place.

[plusvolume]

regardless of the knit picking, i LOVE the mazdaspeed 3

[Wild Weasel]

Some new pics from today. Got 'er all cleaned up pretty, and test-fit the roof rack. :)

Crappy light for pics, but here they are anyway.

[active3s]

Nice....What exactly you have planned for your speed3? Daily Driver, AUTO-X, Car SHow Queen, ?

[Wild Weasel]

Only daily driver. Nothing more. Anything I do to it is just to make it a better daily driver. :)

[bubba1983]

psst you missed another spot again!!

[DCYT]

awesome ride man!

[Dan Da Man]

nice journal on the car there.. must feel good to see it progress through all those years and have that page to look at. nice work man!

[bubba1983]

w000t i made it on his page, hahaha

EDIT:
so...is this the 2nd sunfire? going thru the journal stuff, it looked pretty mangled up on page 6?

[Wild Weasel]

Yeah, the first one only made it 8 months before being written off on an icy patch of 401. It was a 2000 and was replaced with a nearly identical 2001 model.

[bubba1983]

ahhh now it makes sence! hahah
