New Owner - Intro

Hey folks, my name is John and I'm in San Mateo California. Just traded in my moderately modified 2012 Gen 2 MS3 (330whp/360wtq) with 12K miles on a new DIB 2014 GT... and love the car.

I do miss the Mazda a little, but honestly I was done with FWD - especially once I started adding power. I had been thinking about a 5.0 for a while and I got a great deal and they paid my MS3 off so I pulled the trigger.

I've added Pype Bombs to the car so far and yellow fogs but that is the extent of it so far; although I do have a pretty defined mod path I do want to wait a while this time and enjoy the car in all its "stock" glory.

Welcome and Congratulations! Lot's of speed 3 owners coming over! Nice change of pace in comparison to the torque steer on the 3 right? I always recommend getting to know the car before going overboard no matter how much fun it is to dive in head first!

Let me know if i can ever be of any assistance, I'm always here to help!

Alex

This is the only mod I've made to my Mustang. It came from CravenSpeed and was pretty inexpensive.



DIB was my second choice of colors. Yours looks great. Enjoy!

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I do love this car, bad MPG and all. I get a kick out of it every time I see it and more so when I drive it.
