lol, how fast were you driving? Your hair is everywhere. You guys could come out to some meets and not have to ask for pics. I've already met Leesha twice now and Darkbrew has met her once too.

You can tell Leesha was flying! Her hair is everywhere and she's got both hands on the wheel! She must have been taking that corner rather quickly!

I absolutely love that rear wing! Is that the same as the euro lip one? or slightly bigger?

Where can I get one?

GoesLikeStink,

I think you can ask Mazda Canada and see if they have that lip available. Otherwise you might have to order it directly from Mazdaspeed in Japan!

I seriously thought those rims were more darker grey like the website, which would look very cool, but silver doesn't look as nice

Cheers,

Gotta love this!!

[QUOTE=Road Cone]Hi Alicia.

Long time no see.

Are you planning to attend the Meeting of the Mazda's on August 11th?

Oakville Mazda would like to have your car showcased in their display.

Please let me know.
Thank you.
Dave.

Leesha, Nice Pics ! You'll love the car.
I've had mine fopr a few months and still love driving it everyday.

Do yourself a favour tho, DON'T let Mazda put that CRAP 5W20 oil in your car, use at least 5W30 or better, and DEMAND that you get the OEM Japanese Oil filter, NOT the CRAP that Mazda Canada has been supplying as replacement parts. Do the first change at 4000 to 5000kms. At least this way you won;t be one of the casualties that have to get a new engine under warranty.

I've had a 1990 RX-7 before and know the current owner; it is still the original engine with good compression at 290,000kms. And anyone that has had a rotary with that much mileage and still has a healty engine will tell you that you want to use at minimum 5W30 oil and change it between 4 to 5k intervals.

BTW if you are getting other accessories like the IPOD adapter, sho around because there are better ones than the Mazda one. I haev the Mazda one and it is limited in its functionality where it does not display the track titles. There is apparantly one out there that does, which is a very nice feature to have.

Possibly. It's a little far. I've got a lease to think about.
