'12 mazdaspeed 3 LSM
This is my car, its a base model Speed 3, i needed something smaller with 4 doors, but still wanted it to be somewhat sporty. I plan to mod it a little, first will be a rear motor mount as i have hit the fire wall twice on the 1st to 2nd shift.
TQ steer is ehhh..not as bad as ive heard others say, and the highway pull is pretty strong for a stock 4cyl turbo.
GPS iphone app with a passenger i did the best of a 14.7@101mph, not sure how accurate those are. But i pretty much have zero traction full throttle in 1st gear FWD=FTL
I am looking at going to 235 width tires, up from the 225 which should give me better traction.
Anyways, i have been a long time reader on this forum, and i have owned a 02 GT in the past, so its nice to finally be on board, even though i drive an import, and hope to continue to learn more here. [IMG]
