The Story
The first car I ever took a loan out for was a 2013 Mazdaspeed3. Im a big Mazda guy and have had multiple rx8s, an FC, even my first two cars were Mazda 3s. Driving that speed3 home from the shop one day, an old drunk man pulled put in front of me, totaling the car.
So naturally i found myself on marketplace looking at the only 2000s Mazda halo car I hadn't owned and wound up driving to Kentucky for this $1000 speed6.
The motor was blown up so I used my gen 2 speed3 motor as a donor, and basically did a full subframe out refresh (minus a few smaller things)
All the parts I used are from the era before these cars ended up in the wrong hands and destroyed, some even coming from the actual mazdaspeed aftermarket catalog
