[MS3077]

1. Rear engine motor mount

2. Intake - CAI or SRI

3. Shifter bushings with short throw shifter

These three (3) mods will be a great start.

Simmer down a bit

I went wider wheels, Cobb Intake, and then Forge BPV.. Great Autocross car, Next step is Hotchkis Sways and probably Mazdaspeed Coilovers.

I would also suggest a racepipe since it dont cost much and is easy to install and gives about 10-20hp..

That's hard to say without knowing your driving style and experience.

For example, if you were a 16 year old with one week of driving experience, I would recommend a good driving school before I would recommend any performance parts.

I just got my White sport on friday and was wondering about the add ons recommended on this forum.

I'm not much of a car techie and haven't read a good explanation of what they'll do for the car in the form of performance, safety, gas mileage or longevity. I'm 55 and drive fairly conservative but of course I do love the power of this car.

Can someone explain to us non techies what the benefits of the add ons are, what they actually do and also how much they cost.

Much appreciated.

You're in luck. All new Mazdaspeed3s come with Bluetooth compatibility, so you can simultaneously hook it up with your Life Alert while keeping an eye on your HBMS (heart beat monitoring system). The problem is you'll get a flashing light on the dash and occasional beeping if you swap with an incompatible pacemaker.



p.s. just kidding


p.p.s. gramps

Can you please speak up, I'm a little hard of hearing !

Also just kidding.

Kidding aside, is there an area in the forum to explain the barrage of add ons and what their pros/cons are and cost.

Thanks

Yes it is...there is a ton of info to sift through.
Just make sure you do your homework prior to purchasing.
Good luck!!

that about sums it up right there. If you are going to do anything, just the 3 things above will be good enough and you dont need much else at all!

OH YEAH, don't forget a better bpv/bov as the stocker is leaky leaky!

Sounds good, but I don't have the slightest idea what a bpv or bov is.

it's the thing under the hood that makes the whoosh sound, its just to the right iof the plastic intercooler cover on the side of the motor. It's prone to leaking under boost and would cause the car to run poorly, lose mpg, and loss of performance. Best thing to do is replace it with a better unit. Not only will a new unit sound much nicer but make the car run better as well.

Lots of threads out there on this, other people will agree that is also a good mod to do as well
