handled well, did not feel cheap and the local mazda dealership sales and service were really cool...

her old 3 got totaled and we were shoppign fora new car... nothing in her budget came even close to the ms3 overall...

PS. I'm still jealous you hava CWP

First person in the US with a CWP MS3...

not to be a smart @ss or anything but my buddy in socal got a CWP MS3 back in feb of 07 so u would be the second cause i have not seen one other than his and urs now...even on MS3 forums too

No, 08.5 is when this color came out. The only colors you could purchase in 07 were... Cosmic Blue, True Red, Sunlight Silver, Black Mica. I'm talking about a MAZDASPEED 3, not a 3i or 3s. So I'd like to see some pics of this buddy of yours that has a 07 Crystal White Pearl Mica Speed3?

Pretty modest mods so far...
Turbo XS CBE, Mazdaspeed CAI, HKS SSQV (recirculated), H&R springs, Tenzo DC-5 18x8, Rays Duranuts, JDM window visors, Eclipse AVN 5500 (kept from my tC :-D) and Tint.

Plenty of mods to come still, not even close to done yet.

So what if it's a station wagon? I love it. A VW R32 is also a station wagon and turbo one of those, you'll be freaking fast. At least we have cars. So, go join some "Car Finders" forum.

uhh I think Mazda is own by FORD

Ford has a 30% controling stake in the company, so it's not completely owned by ford but yes many parts on the car are marked FoMoCo.

Around Dec or Jan, there is a shop here in SoCal that is going to sell me the AP and add a custom tune for $1k, not bad considering the AP is a little north of $700. I'm waiting till then so Cobbs Downpipe will be out as well.

Congrats! My GF did the same exact thing! Traded in her white s/c tc for a white ms3. Right now Ive installed Turbo XS DP, Race Pipe, and Cobb intake + Access Port. Pushing bout 280-290 to the wheels and Tq is above 300 Im sure. She also has a D3 and is lowered on Cobb springs. Definitely a beast....
