picked it up April 20, 2007 in Annapolis, MD. I'm keeping it stock for now b/c I don't have any spare money for mods yet. I plan on eventually getting the mazdaspeed cai, tint, and some new wheels (cause I'm WAY too impatient to clean in between 10 spokes, and I have a hardon for black wheels with a polished lip). I don't want to go screwing up my warranty, just in case the engine decides to fall out or something. Eventually, I plan on going with a front mount, cause there is plenty of room and the top mount heats up in like a minute...but that'll probably be a while

I hit the dyno last weekend. She put down 250/281 to the wheels in 5th with a fan sitting on top of the intercooler. That run had my highest HP, my highest tq was the run before that with 284. AFR is all messed up (like 10:1 or something ridic like that) so I'm gonna have to do a little bit of tuning to pull a little bit more power out...

Looking good. Camera doesn't do it justice though, look grainy in some shots.

Welcome to the club!

the pics are grainy b/c I just shrunk them really quick and they lost a lot of quality...the full size pics are good...didn't want to post them b/c I know theres still some folks out there with 56k and whatnot (lol maybe even 28.8)

SilverSpeed3

Hey man digging the car... i just bought me a silver Speed 3 on Saturday, still waiting for it to be delivered to the dealership here. I'm liking the numbers on the dyno, really impressive...

That's very kind of you. Yes, we 56K'ers still exist... Congrats on the new purchase, it looks great.
