I love MS3's, if only they weren't wrong wheel drive

Interior is kickass and the car is sexy though.

Here's a pic of a Mazda3 oil filter. The black cap comes off and alot of oil dumps out and you replace the filter element. It's messy and a PITA.



here's the filter element:

See above, 19" RX-8 wheels most likely.

The 08.5+ had different/upgraded motor mounts from the factory. Sure I could still upgrade but it's pointless considering how many miles I drive and that fact that it's 90% highway.

Winter setup looks great. I love mine as well. Only had it 10 days. I'd say its def. a much better car than my 06 wrx was.

I'm not gonna go hardcore on the winter setup this year, mounting some Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S Pinna's tomorrow morning on the stock rims. Maybe next year i'll put on some serious snow rubber.

In need of a set of week old RE050's? Obviously 100% tread, haven't even tried to launch the car.

Looks great! I test drove one about 3 months before I bought the wagon and loved it! I just wish they were all-wheel drive.

Where did you buy the wheels from? Looking for some for my wagon!

Got some Rally Armour mudflaps for x-mas, along with some 4500k HID's for the headlights.

No pics of the HID's but here are the mudflaps installed.

I debadged the trunk a few weeks ago but never uploaded/posted those pics
