    Hey all, happy to have found this place. I have had my SSM Juan for 3 years now and enjoy driving it every single time I get behind the wheel. I bought it with just under 84k and just recently hit 114k a few weeks ago.

    I am the 3rd owner, previous owner was a Ford tech who took excellent care of it, prior to that was the original owner purchased out of North Carolina. Ford tech owner did the VVT a few months before I bought it.

    I've been lucky enough to not have anything major go wrong [knocks on wood], and so far she's been good to me. Don't have much done, just DM RMM (one of the first things I did), DM short shift plate, Mazdaspeed CAI and Mazdaspeed Cat-back installed at dealer when bought new.

    Just did a valve cleaning and CS injector seals this past spring. Nothing really planned other than standard stuff for the near future. Have my other car just about paid off and then after that it's open season!

    Lastly, I'm out of Wichita KS. It's hot as balls out there right now.

    I was thinking the same thing. I thought cool a car from NORTH America made it to Belize / Costa Rica, was disappointed

    Thanks all. I forgot to add one more part onto my list, which is CS TIP.

    I'll have to get some pics up soon, from when I first bought her until now. Pretty much the same except for the fact a couple years ago I was a few beers into an evening and was hanging up my dart board in the garage when I slipped and fell into the passenger rear door :(. It's not too terrible but too much for a home repair job for a guy that don't know nothing about body fixes.
