Hey guys, this is my introduction to the forum. I've been creepin for a few months, but now that it's getting to be time to pull the trigger,I figured it was time to join. I'm currenty driving a modded Mazdaspeed 6, but that will be ready for sale here pretty soon. I'm looking at purchasing an AP2 shortly after I get rid of the ol' beast. I've been waiting for another coupe for a long time, hopefully this can fill the void that was left by my FD that I had before the MS6. I'm a little worried that I've changed my driving style too much since having AWD so the transition seems a little scary. I live in FL, and currently I don't even think twice about whipping around corners or worry about slowing down while taking an off-ramp during heavy rains, but I know that with the S, I'll have to be much more cautious of that back end getting happy. Another plus for me is coming back to N/A. It's so much easier to deal with than FI, at least in terms of the headache. Sure, I love my gobs of torque at 3krpm, but lag,leaks,and constantly having to stay on top of your tune is just too demanding for me. I planned on using my FD to get into road racing, but that turned into a highway monster, when I got the MS6, I thought I could sneak by with a DD and track star, but just too much of a headache to get it track worthy, so now hopefully the S can fit that niche for me.

So the plan is to have my car gone by the end of May, and be in an S by the beginning of June assuming nothing changes financially in the coming weeks. Currently reverting back to stock, so I gave myself a comfortable berth.

I'm from downtown Tampa area, so if there are any meets in the area, locals pls let me know.

 

Check the Tampa section. There's one Thursday before WTDX.
