Hey y'all! I just figured I'd make a thread to "show off" my absolute unit of a vehicle--this 2009 Mazda 3 Sport.

It's a piece of shit but I'll be damned if it doesn't put a smile on my face. My mom bought it brand new in 2009 and after my dad inherited an NC1 Miata, and she got a bigger car for work--the poor Mazda sat and over time most of the wear items began to deteriorate, and eventually, the connecting rod in cylinder four decided it wanted to visit the outside world and punched a hole in the block. So, we dropped another 2.0 from a donor car into it and that was that. The car still had a plethora of problems, and it was passed along to me. I've replaced a vast majority of the running gear components over the past while so for the time being the car is in decent mechanical condition assuming my fifth and third gear synchros don't get any worse than they already are. I had this crusty 2001 Corolla before the Mazda aswell. 5speed manual with a clutch that probably resembled a chocolate glazed donut and an oil-hungry 1ZZ-FE.



Anyways, without further adieu--here's some photos of my Mazda over the past little bit. Currently it's straight piped from the cat back, sitting on Eibach Sportline springs, and some unknown 15" RTX wheels. Makes about three wheel horsepower ;)





That was when I broke through some ice in the conservation area and had to be rescued by my friend's Durango (not pictured).
