Are you really that bored? :chuckle

I'll play along. I drove it to work. I also plan to go with the crazy idea of driving it HOME from work too! :pop

[stevenma188]

UM...... I looked at my car on the way to school, and will probably admire it again on the way home. I don't foresee driving it any time today. I did put my summer tires back on yesterday though.

[cwp_sedan]

[ST3ALTH]

I put on my TWM SS and also my black emblems. Oh and i gave her a wash!

[Slade]

Drove it to work, i t was so nice out I even had the sunroof open, windows down, and took the city streets instead of the highway to enjoy the drive even more! I could have drove all day, but instead figured it would be best to come to work and earn a days pay.

[eqlso]

Didn't get to see my car today :(

[Thrizzl3]

drove it around while everyone stared it lol..also took it through it paces of tight corners and boy does it stick like glue

[RBoy8]

Just looked over it... it's all in one piece which means I won't have to hurt my brother. :P

(and to those who were asking, yes I was very bored :chuckle )

[poke65]

Drove it to work then the wife drove it to her work.

[Kappa]

it drove me to pick up some stuff in town then it drove me home.. then i played MW2 all day and thought about it! days off are good :) oh i waxed it yesterday :)

[mazdaskit]

I just washed it & installed my shark fin:)

[omalak]

drove it from scarborough to guelph, then from there to a holiday inn, then to a mall in guelph, then back to the holiday inn...

[SpeedBaby]

went to a dealer and bought it! :headbang

[Thrizzl3]

nothing yet...gonna drive it to work in about an hour. then its going to sit for 8.5hrs in a parking lot.

[Slade]

Today I looked at it, and thought of all the stuff that has to be done before it goes back at end of lease, and then I thought how little I will miss it, and how much I will love my truck.

I loved my 3 when I first got it, but realized it is not the vehicle for me after a few years. Camping and toting a dog around is no fun in a sedan. If I was still single, I would keep it in a heart beat, but the convince of a truck is highly going to outweigh that of the the 3. Maybe someday we will get another one, the g/f still wants a CWP Hatch at some point...I want my truck to play with though :)

[Tizmee24]

Drove it to work and take a picture of her (aka fame) LoL ....

Okay, I looked at and said to it "you'll be riding 18's soon...no more waiting" and it said nothing back which means it agrees with my decision to switch over this week.

[JMAK74]

Drove it. Thought about how it's a money losing asset.

Drove it hard deep into 4th gear on a back road, appreciation that I own the car and the bank owes $0 now.

thats nasty... I'm still having bad gas after driving to Wendy's (man are they horrible)...time to get some pure angus goodness..

[SomeGuy]

Drove it to work, home for lunch, back to work, home from work.
Put my summer tires on when I got home from work.
Drove around the block to feel them out and then retorqued the lugs.
Drove to dodgeball, drove home.
Put the baby to sleep in the garage and stared and it's sexyness for a few minutes.

That's a tough pill to swallow, but at least they had the courage to admit it, whereas most people would just fade in that situation.

I washed it last night, fixed my long-broken parking brake & drove it to school & home. She's coming with me to Toronto tonight...no rest for the wicked.

[alhope34]

Sat in the passenger seat as my G1 driving friend tried to take a 90 degree corner at 50km/h in the rain and caused the car to fish tail wildly. DSC saved his/my ass. Glad the MS3 has it!!

400KM left before it gets expensive

[bunchi]

[m_bisson]

And only now am I regretting my choice not to have sex in it for fear of staining the seats... I must de-virginize the new car asap!

Oh is that what you were doing at Street Performance?

[alhope34]

That was you??? I've never seen you in person, didn't know who you were. you should have came say hi! I got out of my car to say hello but you got in your car and drove away!!

But yes, I traded my CBE to Fobio for the stock CBE plus cash. I'm 100% stock under the hood now! My car feels like it lost 5-10hp from the upper range but between 2-3000rpm feels like I gained 20tq. I guess the extra back pressure helps, haha.

[ST3ALTH]

Washed her up yesterday and put on my summers...

[aris]

Withing the next 2 weeks I'm going to install my pro-kits:)

[Impressive]

Bought her!

2006 Mazda3 Sedan GT GFX...Black on black. STOKED!

[Riftler]

I didnt do anything to my car, but helped a friend put in a intake in his 2010, first time and it was a fun experience

[RBoy8]

Well this was on Sunday rather than today but I lowered the front back down but left the rear at stock right height... rake ftw! After that my dad and I replaced the PCV system. Runs so smoothly now. :)
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll172/RBoy8/Car%20Stuff/DSC00575.jpg?t=1269358902

As for today however... I parked her outside in the rain to take the TTC.

[DualSoul]

Swore a lot inside it while driving to Simply Tire.

Got calipers painted and summers swapped.

[stevenma188]

Nothing, car has been at Probart Mazda since yesterday morning getting rust fixed under warranty. Probably will get it back later tomorrow or early thursdsay.

[aris]

Installed my lowering kit...

[Kappa]

Soooooo any pics of it yet? Or sounds clips....how does it sound?

[MistaChin]

Soooooo any pics of it yet? Or sounds clips....how does it sound?

No pics or sound clips as of yet, but it sounds sweet! Love it! Growls beautifully in the low end and almost non-existant in the high end....just what I wanted (for now LOL)

i sat at work all day and looked at my car :( in the rain... with dirt on it :(

[ST3ALTH]

Tinted it!!! :)

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r40/angela_294/c0de4eba.jpg

It looks awesome. What are you lowered on? is it Pro-kits?

[She_Prime]

Yeah I'm on pro-kits :)

[ST3ALTH]

how do you like it so far.....im getting mine installed hopefully Friday, if not then next week.

[MistaChin]

What percent Ang?

[She_Prime]

The pro-kit ride is stiffer than the stock suspension so it makes the car better at handling and cornering. Takes some getting used to but my ex bf has prokits on his Mazda 3 and I was already used to the ride from that.

Justin it's 35% solar guard tint. I didn't want to go any darker than that.

[distr0]

car looks good Angela! you should probably clean that bird crap off by the rear door if you haven't done so already.

[kLuMzi]

Tinted it!!! :)

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r40/angela_294/c0de4eba.jpg

sexy looking ride Angela!! tints, pro kits, 07+ side skirts, RX-8s, purple lugs and calipers!

[Kappa]

but you gotta lose the side moulding :)

[She_Prime]

Side moulding stays. Bird excrement is going later tonight lol.

Wanted the tint to settle for a couple hours before washing it (for the wing meet tomorrow)

Hit the mileage cap on my lease :( ....now it's going to get expensive...3 months of driving still yet too, unless I canfiqure out how to get my truck early, and make both payments, 12c/KM over my lease will get pricey real quick.... $30 to go to my parents, and that is 1 way...

I will NEVER lease again, by far the worst investment I have ever made...

Buy out the car. You can avoid over KM fees that way. Then sell it privately, or just keep it. Mazda 3 > truck any day.

took the car to audio heaven to get some tints. ill take it for a wash in a hour or so than drop by the la paloma meet to see if anybody shows up.

[stevenma188]

Picked up my car from the Mazda dealer after getting rust fixed. Man, my rims have never been this white before!

Sad thing is all my scratches and imperfections are now very clearly visible.

[Iceman_F1]

Just gave it a quick wash...before it gets dirty again if it rains tomorrow...:bang

[Impressive]

Today I set the new car up on the insurance policy I currently have. All I need now is to transfer the ownership and then a simple drive out to Aurora to pick up/rescue my new car on friday!

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Removed my lip to refinish it after knicking it on something. Making a how to this time.

[jonjon72]

Picked her up from Street Performance. Had the handbrake cable replaced, calipers repainted, front sway bar installed, MS3 bumper, Gen2 sideskirts, front flares, grill painted and installed. Front bumper and hood repainted, 5 inch scratch repainted.

[JohnyGT]

No pics or sound clips as of yet, but it sounds sweet! Love it! Growls beautifully in the low end and almost non-existant in the high end....just what I wanted (for now LOL)

Welcome to the scene :P

[yearoftherat]

Had the handbrake cable replaced

What the hell Jon, replace your handbrake cable...were you trying to Tokyo Drift or something??

[froggy]

installed my exhaust and my rear sway bar yesterday, (didn't get a chance to write in here yesterday ) I was playing around with the idea of putting in the UQR along with my exhaust but they installed it first without the resonator and I fell in love. Coincidentely I might have a vibrant ultraquiet resonator floating around for sale if anyone wants stay tuned!

ok what is this lip you speak of! me interested!

[ST3ALTH]

it is garage door weather stripping, you can purchase it at any home depot!

[aris]

Removed my alumiunm fuel..and put my stock fuel door back on

[jonjon72]

What the hell Jon, replace your handbrake cable...were you trying to Tokyo Drift or something??

lol.....naw, the driver side cable was beginning to show signs of seizing up. Figured I might as well get it done while it was in the shop

Today I gave her a good wash and cleaned the interior.

[dentinger]

fed it.

om nom nom.

hmm cool i searched the forums and couldnt come up with an install thread is it hard? what do i need to buy other than the weather stripping

[Default User]

You need something to attach the weather stripping to the bumper.
I used left-over 3M double sided moulding tape, bumper pins, and construction silicone.

I suggest finding a very high bond adhesive because the neoprene/foam will absorb most of it anyway
I also suggest doing this in warm weather as most bonding agents need room temp to work immediately.

dude.... i saw the most rusted mazda3 parked by the pizzahut on western/sarnia.. omg i couldnt believe my eyes.. it was rusted everywhere.. 3rd brake light like all 4 wheel wells.. was a mess. I shoulda left a note for the guy saying if he would like a photoshoot i would gladly take pics of his car

[stevenma188]

Debating whether to take it back to Mazda, a week after I got it back..... :flaming

[-RJ3-]

Found some (new?) rust on my rear wheel well. DAMMMMMMM I just had the car come back from rust repair under warranty.

One thing to keep in mind is there is 2 different rusts.
Rust like corrosion eating away the body.
2. surface rust. This is just rust outside that does not eat in the metal. This can be easily stopped by sanding down the surface and reapplying touch up paint/ spray paint. once thats done put rust check (green can)

Hope this helps.

[Greg_di]
