Am not sure how to upload video. had a hell of a time with pictures first time. Clicked on 'embed picture in post below post area and then clicked on 'click here to upload' . then gave me a choice of where to get pictures from from 'browse' menu which eventualy figured out with trial and error. Maybe can do the same with video clip. If does not work then will have to contact Patrick with details. Would love to see video clip of you car in action!!!!!

these pictures were taken at an autocross on Sunday, September 25, 2005. I placed 37th out of 112 entries - beat every other mazda there including an Rx-8, three Rx-7's, and about six Miatas - finished .046 seconds behind an Audi S4.

If any of you want video clips of my car to see how much better a custom exhaust will sound compared to any manufactures exhaust, just private message me and i can get you the clips.

from your pictures one of the most important things you need to get is a good sway bar kit, you will an incredible improvement in turn in and rotation. Of all the improvements you can make the most noticable are great tires and sway bars, as far as tires go most are using Falken 615's or Kumho mx's. As far as sway bars go hollow is generaly better do to weight but solid is ussuallly cheaper.

yeah, the 3 does experience a rather large amount of body roll...i purchased an eibach hollow swaybar kit (front and rear) a few weeks ago to be installed with my suspension in spring of 2006. im just waiting on delivery...do you autocross with a mazda3 bagman?
