I know this is boring without pics, but I have a '99 Miata that I've done a few things with (seat heaters, sound insulation, FM Springs, shocks, frame brace, roll bar....)  Next on the list now that I'm married and a kid may be in the future is an '09 Honda Fit.  Car will be the practical ride, bike is the good time.

Juan, How do you like the FM springs?  and what shocks do you have?  Eventually it will be time to replace my stock shocks and when that day comes I'd like to spend a little extra and improve the suspension.

2008 MazdaSpeed 3, old picture as the side molding have been shaved and the windows tinted.
Also has, Hypertech tuner,intake, Short shifter, test pipe,slotted and dimpled rotors with stop-tech pads, and stiffer motor mounts.

I hope to appease my modification addition with the much cheaper 2 wheeled option!

Word...  This is quickly becoming the mazda 3/mx-5 thread.  Nice ride tronspeed3.

I dont have a 4 wheeled vehicle....Bad experiances.

Tried riding one, got cited for improper restraint and reckless endangerment.

Apparently riding a car isn't a good thing.

Nor is dragging a knee out of the door.

Well.. Only four wheeled vehicle I've ever owned..



It speaks for itself... Gave me a good run, when the brakes gave out and the throttle switch burned out... Yeah long story, if your gonna repair something don't use duck tape... 45mph on public road without brakes and no way to cut off the engine, lets say I gave myself a little "shock" when I pulled the spark plug connectors...

I only own a 2 wheeled vehicle now.

Mine might be, ahem, exotic - yes, it's Italian but I'm pretty sure no one here knows it at all!
Anyway... 2010 Fiat GrandePunto 1.3-litre Multijet (turbo-Diesel) 3dr, 75 bhp.
My first oil-burner and liking it a lot - so far.

That's me, cheap and cheerful......



Iknow, I know, steering wheel's on the wrong side...

2002 Mazda Protege5...I don't get it to drive it too often b/c I'm away from home in the USAF.

man, i turn my back a minute, and driving shitboxes goes out of style ? wtf gstwinners ?

post up some pictures of your shitboxes instead of these trailer queens with no miles ! 


mine: 23 year old toyota pickup
wifes: 17 year old honder waGOON
both shitboxes, but replacing them is $tupid expen$ive

The Ram is my Sh!tbox...it's up to 245,000kms (153,000+ miles) and I'll probably own it for at least three more years before I replace it. (40,000kms ~ 25,000miles per year)...I love my BEATER!!




Gotta take a pic of it hooked up to the trailer, the combination is 60ft long!! (trailer is the reason I have the diesel)

Later.

My daily driver until I move out of the sticks is this 01 Silverado. It gets me where I need to go as long as I quench its never ending thirst.



Glad to see there is a lot of Mazda love on this site. This is my friends Speed6 after I changed the oil, hand buffed the rims, washed it, etc. In return for me maintaining it, I get do drive it whenever I want. It has an upgraded turbo, intercooler, and cold air intake.


Here is my 4 legged ride... Traded him in for the GS

Nice!!  We've almost covered all the Mazda's worth mentioning now.

Here is Sunshine! Right after her new top.


She is sick right now though. When driving over to UCF started to make a clanging sound. Check engine light came on. Nursed 'ole girl the 35 miles back home. Put the diagnostic reader on and said I lost compression to the 3rd cylinder. Cleared it and have drove probably 10 miles check engine light hasn't come back on but is making a strange clank sound and has lost some power. BF thinks it might be water pump. Anybody got any hints? She and Flick went down about a week apart so I focused on Flick and when I get back from Boston it will be time to focus on Sunshine. Want to get her running by August (when Flick is paid off) so I can get another bad day vehicle.

It was 323 > Protege > 3

They fill the same slot in the lineup, but I'm honestly not sure how how much they have in common.  The 3 does share a lot with the C1 ford focus; many parts say FoMoCo
