Hey from YUL

[jmacman12]

Hey guys,

I'm Josh and I'm from Montreal so naturally I have to say: GO HABS GO

We have obnoxious fans and they do ruin the rivalry amongst a lot of hockey teams but it's all for good fun

I'm not from Quebec but I live here, so don't hate on me because I'm french...I'm NOT lol

Besides the crappy roads, falling bridges and no importing RHD cars it's a pretty good province and I enjoy it here.

I own a fully loaded (minus sat nav) 2008.5 MZ3 which only has a few mods as it is still pretty new to me!

It's got:
-JDM style tint
-RA Mudflaps
-HD (fail) Lip
-JDM yellow fog overlays
-MPS rear skirt
-MPS 18" rims (purchased off a fellow forum member on another forum lol)
-Weathertech winter floor mats
-Invishield type thing on the hood (to protect from rock chips)
-Chrome door handles(which will be gone next year)
-And a couple stickers here and there

Plans(no particular order):

-Mazda Accessory: Front air dam
-Trubendz 2.5" exhaust
-Whiteline or eBay rear sway
-Triple gauge pod where the sat nav is supposed to be
-MZ3 Pedal set + dead pedal
-TMW Short shift
-Engine Strut bar
-Paint Calipers Yellow

Tentative Mods, in descending order (depending on how long I want to keep the car)

-Vinyl wrapped roof in matt black
-MPS Rear spoiler (pending I can get my custom designed plugs manufactured by somebody...)
-Mazdaspeed springs (accessory)
-Custom front lip w/new bumper (provided I can find somebody who will do it for a reasonable price)
-2011 Brembo brakes off MPS

Mods are obviously slow (like most others) as I am full time student.

Less talk moar pics:





I don't take enough pictures of it lol


I am a forum moderator over on the Mighty Car Mods forum, if you haven't heard of these guys CHECK THEM OUT! They provide an awesome contrast between entertainment, knowledge and guidance.

Click here to check them out and click here to visit my forum

Hope I don't get in trouble for promoting them, if thats not accepted I'd gladly remove the links!


I won't frequent TM3 that often but I'll tend to check in every now and then to say whats up and gather some info for myself

Cheers and see you around the forums!

[jmacman12]

Yeaa buddy Habs-Leafs rivalry ftw. Probably the only games I plan around when making my schedule :p

This thread is a bit funny to me as I cannot edit posts and the threads go up instead of down lol

Certainly a change for me!

Should also mention: I plastidipped my emblems and will create a flying M in the spring and I reaaaaaaaaallly want a genuine Autoexe grille


Thanks for the welcome thus far dudes

I know, that's why it's listed under tentative mods because I know a guy who will be parting out his MPS in the spring so he can afford an STi. He has a highly modded car(including big brake kit from Brembo) but is still unsure about getting an STi therefore it is a tentative mod which is very low on the scale lol

Yea, it was the one of the first things I did when I got here but I meant it in the sense that prior to signing up, that was the native method of viewing

Haha, glad you like, I'm not always sure about the grill. I have quite a few plans for the coming spring too

Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with the car, I dont have a lot to compare to with with the same colour!

I like the grill! I just think that the next mod one leaves too large of a portion open under the middle beam, which is why I would prefer the authentic one.

I might try a couple things this winter but most likely I'll be waiting till summer to do most things. I mean it is an N/A car so there is only so much you can do...

I want this dude's grill (authentic ae) and he has nextmod sideskirts also. I might want to go for a sort of front splitter/next mod sideskirts in black combo like he has, looks real clean.

I see what your saying though, more or less thats specifically the reason I liked my stock one more (before my accident lol). I like to be different though so I haven't gone back
Its a really nice look, I say you go for it! Looking to lower eventually too?

Yea dudes a legend! I lurk his thread all the time haha

Obviously any minor details that make you stand out are awesome, looks good tho! I might plastidip my grill for shits to see if it looks good (middle section) in the meantime.

I would like to lower it, I think I mentioned that in the tentative mods but I mean if you've been over the border you will understand why I can't As it is, the 18s sit very close to the fender so it looks pretty good!

Welcome to TM3!

I would say thank you but that's not my car, but rather a really well modded mz3 that I aspire to mimic to an extent! Mitchell3 linked his build thread a couple posts ago! But thanks for the welcome
