Sold the Mx-3
Sold the Mx-3
Been a long time since I`ve visited the forums.
Usually it was several times a day, but after I changed jobs, and had no time to even drive it, I kinda stopped visiting.
Had it parked for almost 1-1.5 years where I drove it maybe 20 times or so.
So, in May 2008 it got sold ($11.000 USD, wich was pretty cheap here).
Had a quick stop with a Mercury Cougar (Ford Cougar here in Norway), october 07 to june 08.
But finally, I got back into Mazda`s again
July 1st I bought a 2001 Miata Sport. (6-speed, torsen lsd, big brakes etc etc).
Have to say, I couldn`t have been happier with the car.
It`s just awesome.
And of course, it has been modded a bit
Kyb AGX, swaybars, springs, shortshifter, plugwires, harddog rollbar etc etc.
Still has some plans for it, but it`s pretty fun already

I`ll try to keep you guys updated
