New To Site, Not New To Speeds

Hello all, I was a member of Mazdaspeedforums.org but didn’t post a lot. I guess this is the site that everyone moved to when the old one went down? Anyway, the car is a 2008 Speed 3 GT, white in color. No drive train mods, just a short shifter (shoulder injury, had trouble getting 5th gear) and a Corksport rear mount insert. 2nd gen wheels. Currently has just under 38k miles.

 

Welcome, and thank you for your support! I quit msf when the former owner vanished and nothing was being done. This was over 6 1/2 years ago. It quickly died. He stopped letting new members join and a couple years ago he shut it down. By then I moved as much critical info. Much is obsolete now and new information is here.

Glad to have you here!

 

Thanks mang, glad I finally got off my ass and started looking for a good site. Yeah I got burned on the old site, had donated just before it shut down. Oh well.

 

Sorry to hear that they burned you before shutting the old stuff down man. This is way better anyway and the guys are cool as a cucumber lol Not all the drama and stuff so mostly great content and helpfulness! Glad you joined and welcome to MSO!!

 

Welcome to mso! 38k on the clock?! Wow that's nothing for an 08 are you the original owner?

 

No, I bought it from an elderly couple in late 2015. It had 6950 miles on it at the time. It was my daily until my wife got herself a new 2018 Mazda 3 GT. I took her old car for a daily.

 

Definitely one of the lowest mile 1 gens for sure man that's amazing!

 

That's awesome what a nugget!

 

Thanks, I really didn’t intend to stop dailying the Speed, but things happen. I got into an altercation with some contractors at work when I caught them leaning on the car. It got ugly. After that I took the wife’s old car. It’s been 4 years now.

 

Things happen lol
