Hey All --- my brand new 2016 Magnetic FiSt arrives in a week or so. Recaros, Nav, Roof. Very excited.
Coming from an MS3, before that a WRX. Looking forward to having something smaller, lighter, more tossable.
Went Magnetic with standard gray wheels as I want to fly under the radar, blend right in to the pavement. Be invisible. My WRX was bright blue, big scoops and a wing, and got more attention than I wanted. My MS3 is blue/gray and looks like an old Mazda 3. Perfect. Nobody sees me coming or going.
Many thanks to BRGT350 for his youtube videos, sending me here and being responsive on Twitter when I had questions. He's a great guy and knows a ton.
I'll mod the car eventually but will probably get to know it stock for at least 6 months. It's so well put-together I feel like I owe it to the Ford engineers to experience it the way they intended.
If anybody's in the market for a bone stock well-cared-for 08 MS3 w/135K miles in Minnesota, let me know in a couple weeks...![[cool]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_cool.gif "Cool [cool]")
Cheers and thanks for all the great info so far, been lurking for a few days.
