It's not "Hated" It's "Hater"

geez get it right...

I had to check back in, because the name made me laugh, too! It's great to have a sense of humor. I've seen guys get very angry, and leave the forum, because people didn't like their car as much as they wanted them to. I'd like to know how well that crazy traction bar setup works. Maybe I'm wrong in assuming that it won't do more than just replacing all of the bushings with harder ones, unless you have over 200whp..

i love my "official mazdaspeed" mx-3 and the way it looks, ok so its not everyones cup of tea but thats what tuning is all about...individuality and customization and making your car into exactly what you want. i have seen worst on this site and im glad my car looks nothing like theres but thats what they want so be it thats there taste and im just glad i found a place where dudes who share a "passion" so to say about the mazda mx-3 that i do and i hope this site stays open for years to come that way i can see what other ugly body kits people put on there mx-3's or 20" chrome rims some kid from the hood wants to fit on the EC chassis.

and the traction bar yeah it was MAINLY designed to Significantly tighten up the front end of the car and allow for a small increase in positive castor which is extremely beneficial in the BG/EC chassis. As well as reduce wheel hop without getting bushings that are harder which result in a harsher daily drive and with these no change. I was driving to put it on and there are 4 stop lights between my house and the garage i do my work at and at all four a quick launch resulted in my wheels spinning and going no where for a minute. After i had put it on I tested it at the four stop lights on the way home and i had no spin at all, only take off and go. Mind you i have a k8 still but im more then certain these will do there job when i go DE/ZE and possibly supercharge it....the only down side i would say is that i cant put my underbody covers on anymore i have to find some way of modding them....

As long as you love your car, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

And rims are something that as your tastes change you can change easily. you just buy a different set and slap them on. When people start heavily modifying the bodies of their cars it gets harder to change without outright replacement.

Since you're overseas, you should get ahold of the 323 five bolt hubs and do the 5 bolt swap, I can guarantee you can find cooler and chromier rims on five bolts hahaa

I was going to do just that and go for it and do a mazda6 big break kit on top of that but then i couldnt use my mazdaspeed wheels and i really like the way they look when you actually have the center caps

There are 5 bolt rims that look a lot like MS wheels, or even 5 bolt MS versions I think.

BUT you should grab like fifteen sets for the five bolt swap and toss it in your cars trunk when you bring the car back to the States so you can hook up all of the North American members hahah

dude if it was a Audi, BMW, Mercedes, or VW i would have TONS of parts but its so hard to find mazdas over here in Germany...at least in the area i live in

I always thought the 323F was quite a popular tuners car in germany?

not since i have been here i have seen 1 or 2 maybe up north it is popular?

Just a small update/rant

So i have my MS backbox and MS strutbar on the way but if they take as long as my rims did it should be a few months and on top of that my rays valve stems are no where to be found

I looked up the tracking number online and USPS says that it was delivered a month ago, so i go to my local lame a** military post office and they said i already signed for it...which i dont remember doing at all, i mean ive gotten literally 100's of things through the mail and i was excited and awaiting the arrival of my valve stems because that meant i can put tires on my MS-01's and head to the nurnburgring. Im mad because i know i DID NOT pick them up up and instead of them looking in the back all they did was the same thing i did with looking online and that was it, i wouldnt be mad if it was lost in the mail but 2 things happened here; either someone jacked me at the mailroom or its sitting on a shelf in the back...thanks alot qeefs!

so now i have a dilemma...wait another couple weeks for them to surface (i doubt it), order another set, or just buy some off brand long stems and hope they dont leak on me down the line....

-also while its on my mind and helping me not to be mad about my situation; my first born son was born on the first of april!!!!!and i have decided that im finished with the military so come december im moving to california to go to UTI (universal technical institute) and specialize in collision repair (and hopefully get my car painted for next to nothing ) then after that become an ASE certified automotive technician

Can't you challenge it? That IS the point of signing it....

i tried talking/reasoning with the guy (i dont argue or yell because it gets you no where) but he still insisted that if it says delivered on usps.com that means i signed it but i will go back on monday and see if someone else is working there and talk to them

I love this build more every time I see it! Keep up the good work!

Thanks i just cant wait to start doing engine modifications

You say that now! Wait until something breaks, it's a PITA x 10!

I put so much effort and time and research into my planning... Now I'm debating if it's even worth it. I lost 3/4 of my plans I had saved on an external harddrive I can't even remember half of what I was doing. :/
