FYI,
There are several 1st gen MS3's being parted out on ebay if anyone is interested...
Pretty much most parts anyone could need, (wish i needed something but i don't)
Just thought i'd pass along...

lol yes, i was thinking of you and Shadow

I suck at ebay. Can you post a link or suggested search?

also more if you just search for 'mazdaspeed3'

Thanks,
I really don't need anything at the moment either...other than to install my carpet, relined headliner, covered pillars, and custom built hatch area....though the RSB with end links for 59.00 would have been a good deal.

Hey Aurora, just my thoughts, but your easiest route to turbo your 3 will likely be getting used Speed3 parts to get the job done. That was the common road for the few 6 owners that did it too.

I think that is his plan, except he is hoping to find a full donor car close. That way he can strip everything at once. I could be wrong though.

Ah okay. I can understand that. it just might be easier to sign up somewhere like MSF and donate to access the FS section (I think that's how it works) as it seems fairly common for people to be upgrading their turbo or such and selling the old ones to offset the cost so I think that might be the easiest route.
