well... I did something. I was still back and forth on the two cars and i saw a great deal at a dealer near me so i pulled the trigger!! oh yeah, pulled the trigger on a frozen white ford focus RS. I love this thing so far. I still love the type R, but i'm very happy with my desicion. Hope to...
Should I let the transmission grind/lockout issue stop me from purchasing this car? I know it's relatively "rare" but the fact that Honda seems to be ignoring it/ not issuing a TSB is alarming.
What's up Tony, my fellow Illinois dude. Were you able to find a good deal on a type R in these parts? Any delaer you'd recommend? Hopefully we can get an Illinois meet up!
Have them replace it under warranty as this was clearly a rock that hit your front. Listen to others that have posted, you would see pry marks from the “perp” using the black grill as a reaction arm when prying. Clearly rock damage, warranty that!

absolutely correct! check out that illinois license plate tho! I lived in Hermosa Beach doing aerospace engineering for two years and i had my ducati out there. That was on angeles crest highway, one of my favorite roads out there!
Funny enough, thats the vehicle that i roadtripped home on. my...

Thanks for the feedback... Can't believe my biceps are going to shrink, looks like the CTR is no longer on my radar. I'll stick to my torque steer machine thank you very much!!
Thanks for the comparison, i figured the CTR would be a bit more refined. I do enjoy the "harshness" of the speed3...
I hate this idea. Reminds me of the South Park about Yelp. Just because a dealer wants to charge more than MSRP does not make them a bad dealer and warrant a bad review. It just means they'll sell the car to the next guy willing to pay. That's like going to a restaraunt and demanding a discount...
hahah thanks! also i wish i could edit the title of my post since i spelled Mazdaspeed wrong :( I'm trying to attach pics of bikes, but i am at work... let's see if it works.
Hey everyone, Vinnie here. So I have been lurking for quite some time and decided I should finally join the forum.
I currently drive a 2012 mazdaspeed 3 with pretty basic boltons and a 50-50 93/E85 tune at around 22psi. It sits at 300 whp and 340 ft-lbs and is super fun. I have been eyeing the...
