Hi,

I have been lurking around here while trying to decide what car I was going to trade in my Mazdaspeed 3 for. I test drove the new WRX, looked into the 135i and 335i, and ended up falling in love with the 370z. I have owned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Miatas, and the 370z reminded me of the RWD 2-seaters I enjoyed so much.

:hello:

:hello:

:pics: :tup:

...obligatory text since i shouldn't talk in only smileys haha

But that's how you think phelan, why not express yourself that way too?

:mad:

:tup: :superghey: :stirthepot: :drama: :gtfo2: :hello: :rofl2:

(good work, fag, stir the pot, drama, gtfo, bye (even though it's hello), rofl)

oh, and i typed all those in the quick reply box. is it bad that i know most the smileys by heart? even ones like icon18 (:icon18:) and icon23 (dreamer's fav, :icon23:)

Thanks! :D Still have to take some pictures. It is white, sport package, with touring and Nav. I couldn't pass it up. Paid invoice OTD (never done that well in the Bay Area before). Had to drive up to Petaluma to pick it up.

Just some terminology for you. Your trim summary is as follows:

QAB T/S/N

Pearl White, Touring, Sport, Nav

Add an '09/'10 and a 6MT/7AT and you're done. Short and sweet :tup:

Welcome!

Just some simple math for you: 370z > Mazda 3 :tiphat:

Thank you sir, in which case it is QAB T/S/N 6MT

That car just wasn't for me. It was fast as hell but there is only so much you can do with 300 ftlbs of torque to the front wheels :ughdance: You almost have to change your tires as often as you change the oil ha ha ha.

Glad to know people know my favorite smiley. :icon23:
Also, welcome to the forum mazdaspeed3.

Thanks Dreamer!

i know a few people by me with the ms3's. for what they are they are quick. hatchbacks arent my thing tho and i dont miss torque steer

edit: and welcome to the forum!!! anything planned for the Z? and what was done to the ms3?

Intake and Forged BPV for the Mazda. I bought the downpipe but never put it on because of all the horror stories about turbo seals going out. That car was built to its limit at the factory and they are hard to reliably pull out much horsepower (aside from intake). Plus traction was already a huge issue.

For the Z, I am planning on intake, CBE, clear coat the lenses, possibly rear motor mount to make the shifting smoother, but right now I am just enjoying having RWD again :D

Sweet, now go bust out some clutch kicks and get the bitch sideways! I bought a set of wheels/tires just for this purpose :)

Waiting for some light rain and a big empty parking lot :tiphat:
