meh, im sticking with 5 door hatchback!!
i hate it when people call the mazda3 a wagon....

IMO, a hatchback has a angled hatch, while a wagon goes straight up and down...
kinda like in the pics up there ^^^

Even though I don't speed much, I won't drive a car that doesn't have a radar detector

Sadly, meGrimlock might live in VA, where they are illegal.

got my rr udp today. i think i am gonna take it somewhere to get installed, talked to rodimus and he said i probably shouldnt be doing it myself. so we'll see. how much do you think it would cost? while i'm at it i guess i can have them throw on my rear motor mount.

Get weights of the stock and the aftermarket ones if you can.

how accurate do you need? Stock is 5+ pounds, the rr racing is .. maybe a pound, probably less?

is it that hard to do? i am debating on doing it myself or taking it in. rodimus said i shouldnt b doin it myself, not sure why... postage for it was 7.85 which includes insurance but it doesnt say the exact price on the box and i dont have a scale to weigh it
