sup boys.... im andrew, im from Kitchener, im a huge poster on the JCO (jbody club of ontario), i actually just traded in my 04 z24 for a 07 3 GS, picked it up on wednesday and im in LOVE with it.....



ive actually got a few quick questions that i hope can be answered.... like whats the bolt pattern/offset for the 3 sedan? ive still got my Voxx rims from my cavy, but its 5x100 and i dont want to try them on incase they dont fit... and 2, is there a how too for changin the headlight bulbs low beam? i picked up some silverstars today and the manual says to take it into a dealer for them to do it, but F that, lol

Welcome! I'm an old JCOer and JBOer as well. Had a black 2000 Z24 before it was written off.

Beware though. There are some J-body haters on this board. :(

the mazda 3 bolt pattern is 5x114.5 and depends what size rims you run. well the stock 17s on the GT is 17x6.5 with 52 offset. And the sedan should be the same. You can use that as a guideline

The lowbeam is easy to get to, it just has a clip that is a pain to get off/put back on. Btw, former J-body driver too :D

thanks man, yeah i tried to keep it nice and clean, i think i achieved it..... the front had to stay, and the sides and rare were a rare find, the car was suspension built tho.... my coilovers and struts alone were worth about 4 grand, not to mention the sway bars, strut bars, braces, tie bars, bushings, custom fabricated a arms, it handled like a train on tracks, i could hit on ramps at like 140 and it would stick... only thing that i wanted to do was roll cage, but never got around to it.... i was weaving in and out of road cones at a auto x event that were spaced 10 feet apart and didnt hit one and my speed was 65km/h.... i miss it, but the 3 handles realllly good, i was surprised for being a taller car....


no word on a how too for the low beams?
