LOVING my Mazda 3

[snowybaby]

:hawt I am absolutely loving my 2005 Mazda 3.. The only thing I've noticed is that I have a 'squeak' in my suspension and some rust that needs fixing... can't wait to get working on some more mods!! :) :)

[Mitchell3]

Welcome! Glad your enjoying the 3.

Since I see your in Guelph I'll point you to the local thread. There are local meets time to time to watch for. http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?24852-Tri-City-Area-%28Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge-or-Guelph%29&p=1187033#post1187033

[snowybaby]

Yay!! Thank you so much!!!

[boyracer]

Didn't I just see a similar post like this one?

[Jackal]

^^ nope. It's your imagination. ;). What kind of mods were you thinking?

[snowybaby]

Um... I posted that I'm loving my mazda in a thread asking if you love your mazda... and posted in a thread for newbies, and then I posted looking for a shop where I live on a thread for shops.. people seem to have an issue with me posting??? Isn't that what a forum is for?? Jeez.. maybe I shouldn't have joined this forum...

[snowybaby]

Yay!! A nice person! LOL!! Well, honestly, I'm not sure! LOL!! I'm new to the mod thing..lol! Kinda hoping I could find out what kind of things I can do to my car from other people who know about this stuff...lol :) I'd like it faster for sure! hahahahah

[Jackal]

Don't worry. Once you get to know us a bit you'll find out we're all pretty nice and that some of us just troll the newbies. If you can handle the initial trolling and joking around and if you read some of the forum rules then everything is gonna be irie.

[snowybaby]

That's ok.. I'm just going to assume that the trolls are actually Civic drivers :P hahahhaha

[loki]

I don't drive a civic


But then again I'm not a troll

[Jackal]

He's not a troll until the troll buttons are pushed. Haha.

Edit: or when he's bored.

Yea I have my 2005 Mazda 3 for less than 2 weeks now, its a hatch, and its driving real nice, love weaving with such a small car xD been driving caravans all my life haha

[snowybaby]

Has anyone had stupid little parts stolen off their cars? The other day, I noticed after I had been out shopping, that the little part just under my windshield was gone.. It's a little black cover that covers a nut on the passenger side under the wiper. It's all marked up and scratched where they used a key or something to pry it out! WTF! Has anyone else had issues with things like this happening?

Mine get knicked every once and a while. When I'm at L&B tire, I usually get some replacements for free As they have a bunch laying around. Its annoying.

Kids keep stealing my Neighbours hub caps off his escalade as well. He's replaced 2

I gotta ask... What Escalade has hubcaps? Lol. Unless your referring to the centre caps. But as for me I've had a couple of the stud things inside the rims stolen, one antenna, 3 tire valve caps. Kids suck.

I park my car on the street overnight, I was thinking about these kinda issues and its kind of making me hesitate to buy certain small parts for my car >.> like lug nuts or emblems or whatever o.O

[snowybaby]

Ya.. it makes me hesitant too... I have these valve caps that are grenades, we originally bought for a couple choppers we were building and thought of using them on my car.. but then thought, well, if I want to part with them, then put them on..lol! I won't have them very long if I do put them on there.. people need to learn to keep their hands to themselves! lol

Huge center caps+ american car= hub caps.
Welcome OP. Dashcam should reveal culprits

Yea that's pretty stupid.....>.> worst part is that most likely it was some kids that took it and played with it and threw it out afterwards -.-"

[snowybaby]

Would you like me to edit the thread title?

[snowybaby]

I'm a chick, what can I say, I have no patience to wait for this stuff to get done..lol :) A work in progress.. this is my first ever project car, so just hitting the frustrating times of it. I know I need to just take time to do things perfect on her :)

Got a quote today on my rear panel rust.. not as much as I expected and I need new rocker panels too... so in September I will start my body work :) So, I just have to wait out the summer.. my husband is going to cut the panel out and replace it, so I'll have a patchy car for a while..lol. And someone hit me in a parking lot, while I was shopping, did some decent damage to my front bumper.. grrrr! so now I have that cost too! They just drove off too.. no note or anything.. like really???? What is wrong with people!! Break someones car and just drive away? Not cool at all!
