RE: SPEED3 Owners thread
I got my True Red GT with Navi and Lojack 3 weeks ago. 500 miles now. It has received all LED bulbs replacements. Putting on the Clifford Matrix 50.5 today. Tomorrow I will put on the full clear bra kit. Next week I will install a set of coilovers and the mazdaspeed rear camber correction kit. The HKS BOV kit is on its way hopefully it will arrive the same time as the coilovers. I like the car very much. Although it is the slowest car in my collection except my 2 trucks, it is sure Fun to drive and a very good front wheel drive vehicle tossing around turns. I am waiting for the mazdaspeed CAI and exhaust to be released. I will take it to the track two weeks from now to see what it can do.

I did a little research into the LED replacments for all the lighting. The Gt of course does'nt have all LED and i want to see about replacing the signals and see if High Beam LED's are possible. I found some site but things seems shadey. Do you have any links to the companies you chose? And nice rims. Wonder how the cark wheels would look on a Cosmic Blue.

Va,
Sure, we can keep in touch and plan getting together.
The only time I feel any noticable lag is if I am at a low rpm. This will always be the case, as the turbo has gotta have some speed to do it's job effectively. If you had driven just about any turbo car from a few years ago, I think you would agree that the perceivable lag in this car is very minimal.

Just picked up my silver MS3 GT today and wow, what a car! Only thing, and I think I heard that this was normal, was that the engine was giving off a very peculiar smell after I got it home. Other than that it seems to be great. Shifter isn't too bad. It took some getting used to, but then again I havn't driven a stick in 2 years.
