New Guy /w MS3

[metallemur]

Hey, I'm Gordy. I live in Scandia (near Forest Lake) and work in St. Paul.

I have a black 2011 Gen2 MS3. I picked it up at the end of April. Close to 5k miles now. I had a 2010 Mazda3 s Sport, but I 'needed' a turbo.

I have a few mods already. My KMD CDFP just shipped today (I've been waiting since the end of May...) and will be ordering a downpipe sometime in the future. Not sure which one yet...

Wow, welcome aboard. Looks like you aren't' wasting much time getting things done to it.

Welcome to the shit show.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I actually had the RSB, shift knob, and shifter bushings left over from the MZ3 as they were the same parts. Also James Barone was nice enough to let me trade in my SSP for the MZ3 for a MS3 one as I had not gotten around to installing it.

My brother is also a 'bad' (or good if you want to look at it that way) influence on my modding. He has a 2011 WRX Stage 2 and an E85 tune. Definitely a bit quicker than me, but that is expected for those mods.


I saw that you guys meet most weeks on Wednesday at Wagner's. I'll see if I can get there this week.

Welcome!

Every week. Used to be rain or shine, but there's no real good canopy at Wagners for the rain part, so shine only. Food's good too.

Sounds good. Weather currently looks good for tomorrow. I'll try to stop by.
