I moved to Houston TX USA from Swindon area in 2011. Bought a Mazdaspeed 3 here / 3MPS. Love it. Got some tasteful mods done. Looks like a lot of the parts you get for your cars come from here. More than happy to help if anyone ever needs stuff. CAR: 2009 GenJuan GT pack in Black Mica. Cobb SRI and TIP. SU TMIC, SU Track RMM, Autotech HPFP Internals, Home made test pipe, SU Shift weight, SU Shift Bushings, SU Shortcut, COBB Accessport Stage 2 OTS map (Tune this week hopefully), Eye lids, Side Molding delete, mazdaspeed 3 badge delete, No resonators or muffler, Denso ITV24 plugs, Gold PLASTI DIP Wheels (doing that tomorrow. black right now).
