    Poor man's Exhaust (Removing Cats)

    It's illegal to exceed the posted speed limit... It creates decent gains for the Speed3, but I don't know about the regular 3. With that being said, on a non-turbo motor you need some of those bends and just making something free-flowing doesn't just equal HP gains (ask the S2000 guys...) I...

    Mazda CAI just installed

    I reset the ECU and it took about 100 miles before it really started to pull like a freight train. Just the CAI upgrade is VERY noticible on my car.

    Oh, THAT torque steer

    I actually like it. I know most people don't, but after driving a lot of RWD cars, it's kind of fun. It feels like the car actually has a beast in there trying to wrestle the car away from you and it gives it personality. With that said, I have also had moments where I was pulling around slow...

    I LOVE MY NEW 3 but the center console keeps swallowing things....

    Was it a tube of Burt's Bees? Or just regular sick old chapstick. If it wasn't Burt's Bees I would just let it go. Anyway- you might search for short shifter installation threads on the forums? Surely someone has installed one on a 2010 somewhere and that would be the same instructions.

    is the mazdaspeed tech package really worth it?

    Once you get used to push button start (which is on almost all highline cars coming out now) you will never be able to go back. Tech package 100% worth it to me. I didn't think it was when I bought it, but the nav has bailed me out multiple times from getting lost and the small screen is not a...

    Ultimate Racing Exhaust?

    Ultimate Racing is well known to the Evo guys and they are legit. Since the gains on an MS3 are to be had from Downpipes and not from CBE, it seriously doesn't really matter which brand you get, just pick based on sound since you get little to no gains from just CBE.

    Advice on HIDs Plz

    Just plugged them in. I suck at working on cars and I did it in like 15 minutes which included trying to figure out where to put the ballasts. The cut-off is not as good as the stock HID projectors. There are those little boxes you can see on the videos which is technically glare I think. You...

    Rattling/creaking seat?

    On the 2010 Speed3 it's the rail the seat sits on (the one closest to the driver door) and using white lithium grease only stops it for a little bit (if you spray the rail and then slide the seat back and forth) Bring it to the dealer and they will check it out / replace the rail for you.

    Advice on HIDs Plz

    No issues and I drive home in the dark and I followed a marked car for miles at one point a few nights ago. Nobody flashes their lights at me either. When I first got them my wife was driving my speed (I know.. I know) and I was driving her car and even with her autodimming mirror off it was no...

    Product Release: 2010 CorkSport MS3 Intake, Inlet, Racepipe & More

    Jason, did you do any testing comparing the straight-through vs the high flow cat on the racepipe? Would I still notice the same or close to the same gains you are showing if I opted for the high-flow cat?

    2010 3S Reserve Fuel Capacity Question

    I wait until my last block disappears and then I reset my trip thing and I drive about 20 miles. Even then I can never add more than 13.5 gallons.

    Dirty, dirty tailpipes...

    That's why I bought a Black Mica, to make sure I got the "full black out" effect.

    My Short Shift Plate

    I was worried about that too when I saw the pic, but I installed it and it BARELY brushes that metal piece. I had my wife shift the car and I videotaped it which you can see at the end of my installation link below. Plus, even if it was rubbing hard, that rubber boot is unbelievably strong...
