Ahh here we go. The thread of anything and everything of my car. Going to try and keep it simple.
Car: 2007 Mazdaspeed3 GT, Cosmic Blue Mica, 72k Miles(2/10/16)
Back Story: Bought the car May 8, 2015 with 66k ish miles on the clock. Traded up from my 2004 Mazda3 that I had for almost three years. I was very glad to be in the speed gang. Bought the car bone stock in near perfect condition and took several months to find the car that I wanted, and here i am!

The Story:
May 2015
Taken after driving the car home from the dealer
First Purchase was an AP. I got a bit artsy with it
Got the much needed window mount
Rolling with all four windows down when the uHaul next to me hit a puddle. That was refreshing..
June 2015
Got the VVT done under autonation 60 day warranty (sighs of relief)
July 2015
PO traded it to the dealer with an intake. I had them put the stock one back on so i could enjoy doing it myself.
First DFW Mazda Meet with the new ride
Looking good at a local meet
September 2015
Some soccer mom backed into me in her GLK. Lost my car for 3 weeks for the repair.
Got my AutoTech internals installed
November 2015
Had some friends over for a nasty DP install
Damond RMM added into the mix. Gold with red bushing
December 2015
Corksport Short Shift Plate/Weight
Got the Cobb FMIC installed. It was used. Seller provided no brackets. Made my own. Long process but in the end, everything fits nice and (very) snug.
January 2016
First good clay bar since buying the car after several weeks of rain
A couple cool frost pictures off the ole iPhone 6s
Boooost leak time
glad it was an easy find/fix
June 2016:
Well there goes the PMM.. time to upgrade to Damond

Some pictures from DFW All Team Bash in June. DFW Mazdas won Biggest Car Club!
August 2016:

A pic of the homies meeting at my house to roll out

Been a slow year for the speed so far. Paying off this semester became the priority. I did get some goodies tho.
ACT kit came in. Kool Katz Garage did the instal for me.
TMM was shot.
Upgraded. Now fully mounted with Damond and geeze the chatter is real.
