Hi, I'm Mike and this is my little Mazda that could. I got her in late November so we haven't seen a summer yet together. Since we've had some harsh winter storms recently, I've been forced to basically take this car off-roading a few times and it did surprisingly well so I grow more in love with it every time I drive it.

Things I've done to it:
-Installed Eonon GM5151 (Best thing I could do to the car IMO)
-HID (low beams)
http://i44.tinypic.com/2igcglu.jpg

Things to do:
-Short ram intake
-Exhaust system
-Shark fin antenna
-(Matte) Black out emblems
-Get full set of rims that match...
-Tint windows
-Get transparent tail lights if I can find a good deal
-Weak LED's in the foot wells for when the car door opens at night
-New clutch (I can feel I'm not getting the full power of my car)
-Clean and colour my engine bay
-...more to come

I am constantly reading threads on how to improve my car and I know it'll take me a long time to complete my list but I know the longer I stay here the longer my list of modifications will be. I've already had contact with a few people here and they were really helpful in my growing knowledge of my car. In truth I'm just waiting for all this snow to melt so I can really start the big jobs and then post some proper pics on here.

BTW if anyone knows where to pickup an extra 2 pair of these rims I would be really really happy (I only have 2, it's a long story and wasn't my choice). The caps say advanti racing but I dont know if that's true. I have never seen another pair like them and they're hella light. They're supposed to fit 205/55/r16 tires on them. If you have any clue on them I would be EXTREMELY happy.

I can't find an edit button but it's an 2004 Mazda 3 GX (Stick shift) with almost 80,000 kms on it if anyone was wondering.

Oh and a short shifter would be a nice addition aswell

Dunno how legit it is but I found this:
Wheels are Advanti SD33.
Link to buy (seems kinda sketchy)
http://www.maximwheels.net/advantisd33.htm

Contact info on this site lists a Richmond Hill address. Call and see if you can get anywhere.

Wow, I really didn't think I would find anyplace in Ontario that still sells them. Nice, I will give them a call soon but I really hope their crappy site isn't a reflection of their business.

And to the welcomes, thanks, it's good to be in this community.

Thanks guys

and tinting is not one of my major things I want to do, also my list grew:
-eyelids (maybe, still on the fence)
-lip
-This cooling panel (http://www.corksport.com/corksport-cooling-panel-for-mazda-3-sedan.html)
-This short ram (http://www.corksport.com/corksport-2004-2009-mazda-3-short-ram-intake-en.html)
-and this cat back (I'm assuming that is a cat back) (http://www.corksport.com/corksport-power-series-mazda-3-exhaust-system.html)
-and these rims (http://ultrawheel.com/ultra-wheel.cfm?id=3104&cat=1072&s=0) because they look good on their car simulation and its only 122 each.
-or these rims (http://ultrawheel.com/ultra-wheel.cfm?id=647&cat=1074&s=0) because I am a sucker for dual coloured rims
