yea, screw dat biotch! i dont spend money on my woman either. she makes me dinner. she cleans my floor. she does my laundry! nah, she doesnt. im sorry. im going to go buy some more car parts to ease my brittle heart.

what if instead of a forge bpv, you try to convince him to let you get an intake...you will hear the stock bpv plenty and you will actually gain power.....and you can use the excuse that an intake has better flow so better gas mileage and so forth. or, if that still doesnt work, you can cut a decent sized hole in the bottom of your stock airbox and get a k&n filter and you can actually hear the stock bpv a little bit....not as loud as an aftermarket intake, but it's a free mod.

Why do you have to convince your dad to allow you to spend money on your car? And if it's not your car, you shouldn't be modding it. Get a job, take over the payments, and if you have any money left over THEN you can buy whatever you want.

 

[GoFast]

my dealer is pretty mod friendly so i dont have to take it off.

I like the loud pshhing noice....plus its not like i'm spending a million dollars for it...its 150!

ok.

based on your non existent response to my other question of who owns the car and who's name is it under, I am going to assume that either your pops payed/pays for it and/or it is under his name. either way, you lose and he wins. besides even if i am wrong here, your dad is your dad and you are the kid therefore, you lose.

 

[AutoEuphoria]

Exactly. If you're not making the payments on the car, you just have no place to modify it. That may not seem fair, but it's the truth. If the car is in your dad's name he probably wants to keep it as stock as possible for warranty issues and for resale value. If you want to modify the car, take over the payments and the insurance, and be prepared to fix any issues on your own. Until then, save up for college and be glad you don't have a car payment that eats into your monthly cash supply like most of us do.

 

[djthom]

here is what you do...
go to your dad and say "thank you for such a dope car at 17" then go enjoy your free mazdaspeed3.

sorry man i just can't relate to your situation...

 

[Circle9]

I would promise not to mod the car if my dad was making the payments for me! I don't relate, for you to have a Speed3 at age 17 is very lucky.

 

[MSMS3]

Why do you want the BOV in the first place? I'm guessing just for the "sound," to show off to your buddies. That doesn't make the car quicker or faster. That mod, I respectully submit, ain't gonna get you much in performance gains. The Forge piece is a nice one, but unless your stock valve in leaking, it's not where you should start with mods.

Like others have said, work hard, save your money, and get a good intake. Start there. Or get a Dash Hawk and find out if your BOV is leaking.

Mine is not leaking (at least not yet), so, even with CAI, DP-RP, no cats, I haven't found a reason to upgrade the BOV yet.

 

[speed3driver]

I'm 18 man, i say just go for it.. your a senior.. your supposed to be having fun. and whats fun about having a stock speed 3? The car was made for us to mod.

 

[AutoEuphoria]

...not if you don't pay for it. May be just my opinion, but it's not like you would add on an attachment to your parent's house.

Again, I'm just guessing...if you do pay for your car and everything, I say go for it.

This is good advice. I wish someone would pay for my car payments. I'd have tons of money left over for modding. Just be happy you got a nice car for nothing and don't make your dad mad. He might just trade the MS3 in for some crap car.

 

[mazdaspeed32007]

wow. if someone took over my 400+ payment i could save that much more amonth. damn, id be retired like. 5 years earlier. lol.

 

[Russm]

Responsibilitty!

If you live under your fathers roof you live under his rules !

 

[mazdaspeed32007]

you spelt responsibility. just throwing that out there. hahaha

 

[mr_mazda329]

unfortunately my dad is not that clueless... no offense... he knows when and how I use my car and although i love it as is I always want it to be better

Just get a black forge and he may never notice...(shady)

 

[SubieKiller3]

who bought the car for you? whos name is it under? personally you dont need it and do you really want to deal with the hassle of having to take it off anytime you go to the dealer. is hearing a louder phhh worth it? nope. you have an ms3 probably one of the faster cars at your school leave it alone and save for college

It only takes like 10 minutes to install/remove it. even an inexperienced person can install it in a very short amount of time. and i really dont think the dealership will care or they might not even notice if you get the black one. i highly recomend the forge bpv no matter if your modded or not because the stock bpv is a plastic piece of crap and most likely is leaking, causing you to lose boost presure. your turbo with probably last a little bit longer as well. if your dad ever rides in the car with you just turn up the radio really loud and try not to gun it. he will never notice the sound.

FTW! That's what I would do, and my dad wouldn't have noticed.

 

[Rotus8]

IDK, the Forge makes a very distinctive noise that isn't there with the stock valve. Even an old partially deaf guy like me would notice immediately.

sorry man i just can't relate to your situation...

no kidding...a 22-24K car in highschool...parents have gotten flat-retarded...apparently along with their kids. Im sorry, I can't sympathize with this situation either. Best bet, stop bothering him and drive HIS car nicely...jebus
