Greetings fellow enthusiasts, My name is Allan and I hail from House-Brampton!


I first discovered this forum at work from random Mazda 3's donning the TM3 plate covers. I've always admired the look and lines of the hatch since it's debut and whenever I'd see one on the road. So after some research and much contemplation, I decided to sell my 2006 RSX Type-S and pick one up. I've Had her for almost a year this September and I couldn't be more giddy every time I have to drive somewhere. She came bone stock and just recently did I get wheels and suspension. 18x9.5 Work CR Kai Kiwami's in the bronze flavor accompanied with BC Racing BR Type coil-overs. I would have opted for some better composed shots with my camera but I just finished installing the coil-overs a day ago and just wanted to get a shot asap.






Whoop, there it is!

Thank you all for the welcoming!

The rims are 18x9.5 +30 offset all around. Spent most of my coin on the set up for this summer so I got my hands on some 225/40/18 Khumo AST's. I rolled the rear quarters and dropped the car to about a finger and a half gap and get little to no rubbing in the rears. The occasional love tap occurs when I go over a sudden dip in the road or when I'm getting up a driveway. Front's have no rubbing even on full crank.

Welcome, looks fantastic :)
Very rare (and nice) color too, I'm not even sure I've ever seen a cosmic blue speed in person.

That's interesting you say that, I've seen most of the colours except the True Red around here.

at first I really wanted a True Red too, but in the end the price and condition was right so I hopped on it quick.

Niceee! What colour is it? Also, anyone know of any meets that are happening in the near future? I'd be down to meet some of you fine folks. Shoot the shit, check out the rides, get some inspiration and maybe get some TM3 merch to rep the set.
