It was beautiful after work today, so I managed to hand wash the Speed3 tonight after work, before my wife and daughter got home. Was hoping to clay and wax, but didn't have time.
And yes...I know it needs a drop haha.

Looks good. Yes, lowering that car will make it look 10x better, for sure. Black is such a sexy color but a pita to keep clean :\

06-30-2011 03:03 PM #5Thanks Wiggy. The after market for the Speed is slowing coming along (still nothing like the SRT), but I'm trying to avoid anything too drastic until the warranty runs out. It's nice to have one for a change hehe.

Love the sneaky Hella horn placement too
The only mods I've done are the horns and a rear motor mount...oh, and the Evo X wheels of course. Car has a small identity crisis having Mitsubishi logos on the center caps.)
I love the Hella horns and have had them on 3 different cars now. The stock Mazda horn sounds like you are driving a clown car...I was embarrassed to use it."Nobody really wants to drive a hybrid.

I was going to comment on how I liked the horn placement but I see Wiggy has beat me to it haha. I have mine in the "mandatory" behind the front grille spot on the STi. Nice to see something different
Needs moar low but still a very clean Speed3! Iz heart hot hatches.Last edited by Kyle_05_STi; 07-03-2011 at 07:30 PM.

Very nice! Sure looks great for not waxing it! Any plans to do some tint in the future?

Looks super clean! Once it gets lowered and gets tint it would look awesome!
