hello all! my story in a nutshell... I've always been a Honda guy, I swore i'd be Honda only forever.
then my 1990 Honda Civic SI hatchback 1.6 got old. I had been planning on an Accord or another Civic. When I drove a 3 for the first time I was very impressed interior/exterior, but mainly the way it drove was what sold me. plus CIVIC's are BORING..
So here I am.. everyone says I'm a geek for joining, too hell with them! They aren't driving a 3s.
I'm familiar with the various mods for Honda's but am intrested in simple mods to my 3.
next project: Clear Bra and Tint..

Welcome. I know we've got at least one other Honda guy on here (6i_guy).

As far as mods go- the recipe is basically the same for Mazdas, although there has been some recent posting about how good OEM intakes are now adays and replacing them really don't get you much. Same is true for the exhaust- at least from the cat-back. A tubular header is always a good mod on a NA motor- although not exactly too EPA friendly.

Welcome aboard! There are quite a few 3's on the board, but it seems like most are hatches.
