I'm from the pacific northwest, I'm Marshall. I own a 1988 RX-7 Convertible (tastefully modded) and a 2005 Mazda 3 as my DD. LOVE THEM BOTH!

 

Good for you, Marshall!! And a big Mazda welcome to Mazdaforum!!

Does your gain/master volume control go to 11 too?

 

Lol nice. No it goes to 13!

 

Hey welcome to the Mazda forum and have a good time here.Do post some pics of your car.would love to see it.

 

So far the mazda 3 doesn't have anything done to it other than put in 8000k HID headlights. Just kept it clean mostly. My plans are to get some fog lights. Maybe a front strut tower bar (which I don't know if one will fit will all the engine dressings) and maybe a shorter throw shifter. Shifter feels fantastic on this car (handles really well for FWD too because of the rear camber I think). As for the RX-7....

Bought it as a pile of junk for a really good deal. Re-did the WHOLE interior. Almost have everything, just don't have any interior in it from the seats back. Gutted the stereo and installed a whole alpine system (for those who know stereo's you know why I chose alpine). Converting all the interior lighting to LEDs. Koyo radiator, K&N intake, rebuilt intake manifold, removed emissions, S5 alternator, Racing beat sway bars, springs and bushings (including DTSS eliminators) Tanabe strut tower bar (obviously), Racing beat header, cleaned and polished Aux ports (to produce more flow and make sure they're opening at about 4k) Exedy Racing clutch, gots tons more but I'm not remembering right now... just keepin it lean and clean...

 

Just remembered, I just converted the headlights. Hella housings (day/night difference) with H4 bulbs. Going to do HIDs on this car soon. Also in the process of moving the battery behind the drivers seat.
