Ryan's Cosmic Blue Gen1 MS3 GT

Good evening, everyone! I wanted to formally introduce myself. Long time lurker, first time poster. I am sure you have seen me around before. My name is Ryan Muehlenbeck and I represent Virtue Motorsports, an authorized vendor here on MSO. I have had my 2008 Cosmic Blue Mazdaspeed 3 GT for over Two years now and have really enjoyed this platform and the community built around it. I have tried to be as active as I can and I am extending that activity further here in MSO (better late than never). Josh, the owner of Virtue, helped me with a lot of components within my build prior to me joining the team. Now I get to help you guys, and gals, with your's and that excites me. Since I do focus most of my time doing that, it has lead to my parts pile to grow more than my installed parts list, haha. I am about to invest in a Jeep toy for Winter, so I won't be driving the Speed and will be able to park it in the garage of my new place and allow me to catch up, making me eager for Spring of 2017! I will be starting a build thread with all those details once I can.

Enough of that, here is the car! I am still needing to adjust my new suspension and allow my new [to me] wheels to actually fit. I ran into issues with the dampening systems on the front coilovers requiring me to get replacement parts and it's set me back with "free time" being scarce now adays.



SNEAK PEAK:


As I mentioned, I am going to create a build thread with many more details and pictures of my build. I just wanted to say my hellos! Be sure to post your comments, questions, concerns on my car. PM me on parts inquiries, questions, and concerns for YOUR car. And since you've read this far, I will provide a little "Easter Egg": You can also get a sneak peak of our new website @ www.virtuemotorsports.com . I will also be making an official roll out post for it shortly but will give you early birds some time to enjoy your worm. I admit that it still has some bugs to work out, and we will ask for your assistance in notifying us personally on any you may find. This will help us make the site the best it can be for all of you!

I am looking forward to reading your feedback all around,

Ryan Muehlenbeck
