Hot off the boat from Japan!!

[Mrs X-Lead]

Hi All,

I'm Mrs X-Lead aka Cas, I'm new to the site and I've a brand spankin' new car!

Hot off the boat from Japan, my '07 Mazda 3 SP 23 in Carbon Grey arrived here in Canberra a little over a week ago. I've had the windows tinted by the fabulous 'Top Cat' window tinters in Phillip, and have been cruisin around in the little beast.

You can see some of the photos in my photo gallery. I am sure there will be plenty more coming soon.

So, I should probably tell you a little about myself.

I am 23 and currently work as a Public Servant in the Attorney General's Department. New news... well X-Lead and myself were married only two weeks ago!! yay!

Anyways, more later! *waves* :D

Nice car. Snowflake wheels look good on the black (Carbon grey).

And anyway, X-Lead and his missus have appered at cruises long before you were ever on the scene, Kyle. They even came to Melb for one ;)


Is that equivilent of a MazdaSpeed 3 here in the US? I love those wheels!!

I'm guessing the Mazdaspeed 3 is the turbo FWD hatch?

That's the Mazda3 MPS here. But Mrs X-leads is the 2.3 top-of-the-non-turbo-range Hatch

[KrayzieFox]

Yea the MS3 is FWD Turbo 2.3L here. That looks really nice though, we don't have anything like that here.

[bourbon]

dont forget kitty if theres a cruise at christmas time i wont have a car there with me...cause well be flying down...looks like i will be there for actual christmas as well now...

ill organise a cruise once again...haha its funny i organised the cruise last year after your wedding and had a great turn up...well i picked a date and someone else organised were to go and seemed to have a few cars turn up...

and welcome X-Lead...love the car :D great purchase...any mods soon to come :p hhaha it had to be asked...

[Mrs X-Lead]

Hey Kitty, Skitz, Tony, Rupewretcht, KaryzieFox and bourbon!!

Thanks for the warm welcome. We'll have to have a meet soon, so I can meet all ya and show off the new beastie :)

X-Lead just informed me that I can get an AstinaGT sticker for the new car... I will have to obtain one of those ASAP :)

Tony, had to get the hatch to throw the dog in the back :P Can't have her on the leather.

bourbon - no mods coming up soon... coz it's a lease, but maybe if I decide to keep it after the lease who knows :)

[Cosmo Dude]

Hi, G'day and welcome.
The Maz3s' looking good. :D
Is that equivilent of a MazdaSpeed 3 here in the US? I love those wheels!!
Yeah, same as the Mazdaspeed but car Co.s in Aus are not allowed to use names that imply racing or speed :(

[bourbon]

what about FPV and HRT...

[Cosmo Dude]

FPV = Ford Performance Vehicle. No direct reference to speed or racing in the name.
HRT is the racing arm of HSV = Holden Special Vehicles and HRT don't sell road cars.

[astina boi]

hehe "the fabulous 'Top Cat' window tinters in Phillip" thats me! i would have tinted your windows as im the only window tinter there hehehe glad u like them!

[platypus]

what about FPV and HRT...

TRD are releasing cars unto the australian market starting with the Aurion....

as far as i knew mazdaspeed was registered by someone else in australia and this is whats stopping them... anyway


Hi Mrs X-Lead!!! Car looks hot!

[Joczy]

Welcome Mrs X-Lead :D

[Mrs X-Lead]

Thanks Platypus and Joczy :)

[chipa]

bourbon - no mods coming up soon... coz it's a lease, but maybe if I decide to keep it after the lease who knows :)


As long as you still have the parts to return back to stock the lease isn't a problem. My car has been on a Novated lease and they don't have a problem with it as long as the car can go back to its original parts.

PS - Welcome :)
