    Shaking clutch pedal

    My speed3 has 166'000 kms, stock clutch. From researching threads lots of ppl talking about bent rods that zoom boom and clutch problems as well. Why would a rod bend after so many years at a very conservative tune?? Anyone have any recent experience with high milage cars??

    smoking turbo fix 2016

    You're correct, a lot of times ppl won't experience the smoking turbo with the stock setup. I didn't. the smoke didn't show up until I had an aftermarket DP on. But a lot have the issues with a stock setup, from my research it seems like the system is so on the edge of not working that even the...

    Long term MS3

    Its been 5 years of Mazdaspeed3 ownership. Its been 5 years of mostly pleasing experiences with my MS3. Although with any machine there will be small issues to overcome. I start his thread because I've seen a bunch of post in the recent while on a few forums of ppl wary of high km Mazdaspeed...

    Turbo replaced, now consuming oil ... dealer says 'it's normal"

    *Dead thread commenting* Its the f'n PCV system. it cant keep the block from building PSI which in turn backs the oil up into the turbo. This oil pushes past the seal and you get your smoking turbo. New, old, doesn't matter because the issue isn't a bad turbo seal. Try this fix if you haven't...

Looked high and low and it seemed the only product I could find wasn't being produced anymore in post from...

    P2187 followed by P0401?

    P2187 is a fackn ecu ghost I tells ya!!!!! Beware the ghost!!!!!!! No one knows it seems... P0401, bad valve. Try cleaning it before you replace it. And if you work and live close the short trips don't give the engine time to heat up and burn all that s*** so the valve gets poo'd and gummed...

    My 7 year's experience with Hypertech...

    Ive only done the corksport intake, one step colder plugs and HT tune on the engine so far. I can tell you the Butt Dyno sure loves the Hypertech, it felt like a different car instantly. AND it took care of a seriously odd idle issue and lean condition at high RPMs after I installed the intake...

    boostracer Poor Teenager Budget Build

    Hey man, you need a set of OBX headers! Changed the sound of my protege and added a good amount of pep too (180$ ebay). I'd say the best and cheapest mod was getting the Protege MP3 ECU off of Spicey Ornge on this forum. 10hp and 10ft/lbs for 150$, and the throttle response was amazing! The OBX...

    When do you need a tune?!

    I have an 07 MS3 and got a corksport intake with TIP. I noticed right away it ran amazing but it needed...something. So I got a Hypertech, didnt want to run lean. It smoothed out the Idle and ran better at top end. Take that how you want to. (nana)
