Hey guys. Long time no see. Guess kinda been a litttle busy lately. Havent even called the poor Jim yet

Not much I can say about my old stang except its gone and I miss it a little bit. Been 14months now...I guess I'm still in the hobby but I'm controlling myself, at least more than when I had my mustang. My 2006 Mazda3 Sport GT is still on warranty for another 5 years but I had to do a few things to it. Today, I installed my new rims. 18" on brand new Nitto NeoGen 225/40zr/18. I love them. They're from a RX8 but I had them powdercoated and they look amazing. Here it is:






So far I have done the short throw shifter, AEM cai, Eibach Pro-Kit, Corksport catback, Street Unit motor mount. Just the basics...My exhaust looks like its sticking but its only from that angle because of the shape of the bumper. From the rear its basicly flush with the bumper.

I wont do any engine mods. This little car is a blast to drive. I dont regret buying it at all. And I still do more than 500kms a tank with 80% city driving.

I'll have to come down soon to Mtl. There are Mazda3 meets in Mtl every week and the people are great so we could go for dinner or lunch with whoever is interested. No dates yet, but it should be in the next weeks, after 1st of July.

Looks good Mario.

I'm also running NeoGen this year on one of my car and I really love them.

Do the Mazda has the 2.3L Duratec ?

Love the wheels by the way..

I believe it is the Duratec. 2.3LDOHC variable valve timing. I'm pretty sure it's the same as in the Focus but could be wrong.

Did you get your Nittos in Canada or did you pick those up yourself ? I went to the US to get mine but I heard Nitto tires were'nt available in Canada, which is hard to believe.

If I'm not mistaking some U.S.A 03 Focus had the 2.3L Duratec( optional ) and in 2004 it came to Canada on a lot of models . I bought my Nitto in Montreal , they are available almost everywhere , prices vary a lot. I bought 215/40-17 for $550.00 taxe in and looks like some 205/40-17 can go as low as $450.00 Tx in. .

Most of the Focus 00 to 04 has the 2.0L ZETEC DOHC but some has the SPI SOHC. ( poor guys )

Exactly. Ford owns Mazda so that means I'm allowed to do that kind of s***.

My (4) 225/40/ZR18 all together including my gas and the rest cost me 530$CAN so thats pretty good.
