Very nice speed!!!!

Thanks for the compliment! I do still have the stock 18s. I've considered parting with them, PM me with an offer if you like...I'm in California so factor in the cost to ship 100 lbs. Otherwise, they'll be going on my wife's MZ3 GT Sedan...

hey, i noticed you swapped out your speed rims and was wondering if you stil had them. i might be interested in a buy, because i only have the htachback gt rims. and btw, the swap looks pretty sick

Thanks for the compliment! Picked up the rims @ Les Schwab...they were the least expensive place I found for the TSW's, they also did the install on the ProKits for me.

Where did you get your rims.. car looks good.. good drop too

Yeah...I do get a squeak in the morning every now and again. My Protege5 was the same way. I had the dealer look at the Protege when I first noticed it (back like 8 years ago) and they told me that nothing was wrong and everything was within spec.

I figure it's the same for the 3's and Speed3's. The squeaky suspension doesn't bother me too much since it's nto a constant squeaking for me.

There seems to be a lot of trouble with the front seat squeaking in the Mazda 3's, and I'm wondering if this includes the MS3... Have you noticed this in yours at all?

What type of brakes are those? Thanks for the help.

Sounds kinda cool...I'll have to peruse the site a bit. Weekday meets would be a bit difficult to accomodate since I've got a 7 year old daughter with a pretty early bedtime, but I could be up for checking out a weekend meet if one happens to get put together.

It's always fun to meet like-mided people...at the very least, we'd have our cars in common. I'll check out the site later today. Thanks for the heads up.

hey dont recall if i mentioned it or not, or if you are even interested, but there is a local group part of MOCC(mazda owners club of California) here that meets up a couple of times a month to talk cars, loook at each others rides and just hang out. great group of people. we had our monthly weekday night meet tonight and have an awesome turn out of 14 people. Anyhow, its fun so if any interest the weblink for the forum is Welcome . It is totally free...and everyone is very friendly and even helpful. Hope to see ya (right now i'm the only Gen 2 mazda 3 owner in the local group.....i need reinforcements....LOL
