    Picked up a really nice 2007 MazdaSpeed3 Axela here in Japan from a college student for ¥300,000 ($2100 USD). Trying to figure out what’s all been done to it since the kid didn’t know. Stated his uncle owned it previously and had work done by Knight Sports. Previously owned a 2008 Speed3 and this is a ton faster than my mid level tuned 08 ‍♂️

    Welcome! Does it have the knight sports body kit? Not everyone's a fan but I think their kit is the best looking that's been made for genpu and the front bumper looks great if you're not a fan of the stock smile.

    yeah, they said the stock turbo has been high flowed by a local turbo rebuild shop, upgraded HPFP and tuned with a Cobb Accessport . However the kid didn’t provide me the Acessport, said he couldn’t find it ‍♂️
