GEN JUAN: Cosmic Blue '07 Mazdaspeed 3 GT

[jbails39]

Gonna revive this dead beast and use it to alleviate my boredom at work.

Here is what has happened in the ~ 1 year since I last posted in this thing:

Suspension:
-ISC N1 coilovers because my back is supple and I enjoyed the smooth ride too much.
-Do Bridgestone Sport-Comp 2s count as suspension?

Engine mods:
-Corksport Cat-back.
-Custom-tuned by Stratified Tuning: 21 psi.

Aesthetics:
-Started to actually wash the car regularly.
-Full tint maximum legal %.
-Black Gen 2 Speed 3 wheels.
-Lowered about an inch on the coilovers.
-Red Calipers.
-Corksport Fog Lights
-WRX S204 Lip on the way
-Smoked window rain guards on the way

Pretty satisfied with how it looks now. This is the only picture I have right now from the Autocross I did with Porsche Club of America a few weeks ago:



Issue now is the cheap HIDs I bought to replace the one that burned out have destroyed two of my HID ballasts. I fixed it the first time by buying a whole new headlight off a guy on facebook. Worked great, then the ballast on that one burned out too. Narrowed it down to the super-cheap-and-in-hindsight-terrible-decision bulbs that I got. Gonna melt apart the headlights and replace the ballasts. Not looking forward to it, but w/e.
