2007 Mazdaspeed 3 owned since new. Due to physical inability to drive after a dump truck changed mg life I'm actually forced to sell. Buyer is slacking. IYKYK. Will I miss Christina? I already do. Even she's in my garage. Will I own another? Maybe one day.

Mods? Yes. Just an intake.

Ugh sorry Eric

 

I miss this car every day. Stupid life made me have to sell it. I've owned it since 2010. So much poured into this car. I'll add to this post as I find more pictures of her and figure out how to post them the correct way lol. I want it back. Some day. But it wont be the same

 

Thanks man. Nothing like having it completely rebuilt and unable to enjoy it.

 

06 MS6. Got it new in winter of 06, sold it to my brother with 70xxx miles in 2017, then he sold it a few years later to someone in the midwest. Some of you OGs are gonna recognize brands that we avoid like the plague, but early in the game it was all we had, or we didn't know any better lol

Dont really miss it per se, but made a lot of good memories with it. Met Eric and I think Chris (Slowpoke Tuning) at a meet at Teds Montana Grill back in 07 or 08, and Joseph, Evan, Travis and alot of the OG Jacksonville crew. My girlfirend (now wife) and brother helped me blast out the turbo swap when I was home on leave in 2012/13. Hit fuel cut and bent a rod on the way to Eric's house for a part install day, had the main fuel line from the tank come off and almost burn the car down on the way back from Baldwin after getting some E85 and left me stranded on i10, lost an o-ring on the auxiliary fuel rail going to the meet n eat 3 pre-party and had to miss that, gave a bunch of subaru's and mustangs the business, but in the end it just sat in the garage.

Love the build @ navy_mech2, TOP mount set up looked wicked on it. Thank you for sharing!

 

Man...those were the days.

 

Only miss mine when I'm too drunk to throw straight. This fucking car man...

 

I miss mine running as it sits in the driveway twenty feet away broken

Never sell and wouldn't buy a new one too much hassle to find a clean one at this point

 

It was a simpler time lol. Got me really in the feels thinking about it. Forgot that it got me connected with Anthony and Chris when we moved to Maryland for a bit.

Member number 9 on MSF, my best friends in the world are due to this platform but that car was the damn devil lol

About as OG as it gets

 

1st post in 9 years here lol. Member 344 here, but day 1!

Miss ya!

 

The car that brought you E85. You're welcome.

 

Your original post on msf popped into my head the other day. Out of nowhere this brownie posts fucking war and peace about how he self tuned on e85 which no one else had done before then drove like two hours to the airport to pick someone up as a test

Honestly your career has been a bit of a let down since then lol

 

Who let the mustang guy in? [emoji1787]
