2010 3 sport GTE

[CSF]

Hey All,

Just picked it up yesterday! Took the train from oshawa to windsor to pick up a 2010 GTe sport... had a bit of fun on the way home.

Now I can't stop thinking abou the mods I want to start.

[hit26k]

Congrats and welcome!

[Mr Wilson]

Congrats on the new car and have fun with the mods!

Oshawa to Windsor, that's dedication. Was this a brand new 2010?

It has 57K, white, tinted, lowerd, I got it at windsor mazda and it seems to have a speed3 hood... so I'm going to have to make the hood functional somehow...

I'm loving the "e" package with the push start and build in nav. I still have to get under it to see if there have been any other mods.

Hey dude!
I wish we could have had the chance to meet before you took off!

Your going to enjoy the car, its a great ride, especially with the 6-speed manual!
I drove the car when we got it in and I was very pleased with it..
The car has a MS3 front hood and bumper..
Glad you made it on the site..

As for mods, the only thing noticed besides the front clip is Eibach Springs. Sportlines I believe because its tuckin' real good.. as for the shocks/struts, I think they are original.

Its taken me longer to buy a pair of shoes... but the guys there were pretty helpful with all my questions presale. So I really just showed up, signed the papers, put my plates on and was on my way back home.

Good to know about the springs, it is sitting really low. Maybe a little too low, I was hoping to be ale to pull a dirt bike trailer with it. The ride felt super tight though, and very little body roll from a hatch.

I'm glad your enjoying the car. The car is really tight and that is exactly what I enjoyed about it. The upside is I found it wasn't too stiff, so its a pretty sweet trade-off.
I'm glad to hear they helped you out, and sorry for any delays on behalf of the dealership.
If you have any other questions or need anything, just PM me.

CWP + Speed3 hood....sounds like Fu5ion's old car. Just not sure if there's many other CWP with speed 3 hood conversions..

When we bought the car I figured someone on the board owned it previously.
It was in very good condition, aside from maybe a stone chip or two.
Wonder why he sold?

He wanted more power and ended up getting genesis coupe. The 3.8 GT I think..

[Elusivellama]

Need pics, good sir.

Yepp.. I just searched through some threads..

I came across a few of his posts when I saw the car and started resarch, I'm pretty sure it was Fu5ions car. The GPS setting indicate it came from Durham area. The weird part is why did it end up in Windsor.

I'll try to post some pic this weekend, once the snow is clear. I still need some winter tires for it.

Welcome! I was going to say, I'm sure I'd heard of that car before.

Thanks for the great welcome from everyone, looking forward to getting involved in the Toronto Mazda community and driving my new ride.

mazdy is looking to go lower and looking for sportlines; he has prokits as well as regular springs, maybe you two could trade?

[Kiyomi]

welcome

[against the grain]

Congrats on the new car! I wrote my car off dec 19/11 and I also bought a 2012-3-gt-e (white).. Can't wait to get it!

[SonicBoy]

Yeah another GTE owner and 2012 too.

[Timotee]

Congratulations! Wow....that would have been a nice drive, Windsor to Oshawa. ;)

Here are a couple photos I took with my phone this morning. She's a bit dirty right now!
But I think I have a few ideas for my first couple mods. I'll start a thread in the right section when I start.

First things first, snow tires.

Tried to post some photos I took, but my posts don't seem to go up... I think it cause I'm a new member. Hopefully they go up soon.

[Booter22]

welcome

[aZuMi]

Hmm..for some reason, your photo's not working. Maybe try to change settings to public from private? Try photobucket to make it easier to post photos.

[Aitch]

Found a way to get the actual url. As mentioned, looks like you might need to change your sharing preferences on Flickr to get the clickable image codes.

Yep, as discussed it was owned by a previous member who had his dealership swap the front end on.

I can't seem to find what option you need to adjust in your settings. On my Flickr image pages, you click "Share" then "Grab the HTML/BB Code" and you get a code that puts the image in your post, plus a link to the Flickr page.

On your images, under "Share" it only gives "Grab the link". That can't be used here in the [img] tag so just post it as a link back to your page.

I fixed your photos by going to the "All Sizes" page, and then copying the url of the photo itself (right click).

[SonicBoy]

Ya I remember that it was sold. Didn't know it was still around on here.

[CSF]

Well, it's back as of last weekend... Picked up a set of rear bumper protectors from the dealership today and installed them. Along with a set of iPikes from Go for Tires today too. I'm thinking about installing some matte black vinyl on the rear bumper this weekend... I'll try to post some more pics if I get to it.
