What up all. Decided I should start a thread for my car as I just got a few things in the mail and should be slapping them on this week/end.
A lil backstory about me/the car:
This is the 4th car I've owned. Before that was:
1) 1990 Toyota Tercel ($500) Automatic
2) 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 (Lease) Automatic
3) 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 (Lease) Automatic
Currently-2015 Mazda 3 Sedan 2.5 Manual (s Touring)
On the Altima I had: Nismo full cat back, H&R Lowering Springs, Intake, ect.
I also ride motorcycles mainly, had to get a car again as I have been working on a lot of projects and I like to hike/backpack so it was hard to carry things around/hike with a motorcycle.
1) 97 Yamaha FZR 6
2) 2003 Suzuki GSXR 750
3) 1998 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R
4) 1984 Honda Magna V45 750
Currently-2005 Kawasaki Ninja 636
Anyway enough about all that. As this is the first real car (tercel didn't count but was a shit load of fun) that I own I will be really modifying it and trying to make it how I want. I'm focusing on power, then handling, then cosmetics. Rims/Tires/Drop are in the bag but I'm going to do those last due to money. I was also really disappointed when I lowered the '12 Altima on H&Rs. It rode great but it was a daily driver and I always had hella friends in there, constantly bottoming out (the car frame, bottom, not the tires) and speed bumps were a Beyotch. Would love to put it on air but I don't have money like that to throw into the car. Maybe down the line, who knows.

Other random crap I can think of...
