    total mileage check for speed3 owners

    Just hit 40k today. Car is just over 3 years old. So far no issues. Little gripes: The clutch is getting to be a pain and transmission doesn't shift as smoothly as usual. Most of the reason I think is having the motor mount on for about 22k miles. Seems like my car is rattling apart sometimes...

    steering wheel shakes when braking

    Ever since I got new tires I noticed that my steering wheel shakes when I brake from higher speeds. It's noticeable when I'm getting off the freeway and need to slow down. Since I've had the tires for about 3k miles now, I'm guessing it's the alignment. However, my steering is dead on when I'm...

    Lug nuts fell off? Just had tires replaced

    So I'm driving around today and start hearing a weird noise from my rear wheel. At first I think its suspension but notice it gets more intense the faster I drive. So, I pull over and notice my wheel is missing TWO lugnuts. And one of those happens to be the locking one I got when I bought my...

    Considering the re-released MS3-CAI for my 2008, what should I expect?

    just got mine installed today. three things: 1)can hardly hear it on idle 2)accelerating is fun hearing the turbo and bpv 3)takes away some of the bottom end, but really worth it for the top end there are places you can get it for a $305, so don't pay full. my dealer was willing to pricematch

    AZ area racers

    After getting a criminal speeding ticket, my days of illegally racing are over. I realized that with the money I spent on a lawyer, ticket, etc. I could have bought a lot of mods. So now I'm wondering where I can race my MS3. Are there any tracks in Arizona that have open sessions and how do I...

    Removed rear wiper...

    I've never had to use mine in Phoenix. Maybe just to mess around and spray water on ppl since most cars don't have a rear sprayer :)

    Post a picture of your MAZDASPEED3

    Looks like North Scottsdale around pinnacle peak? Good to see local mazdaspeeders. I'm around Tempe and Scottsdale most of the time.

    Rattling interior: me or the mount?

    I've had an SU motor mount for at least 5k miles and recently it's been making my interior rattle alot. When I take off from a standstill it will make a rattling sound unless I give it a generous amount of gas. Do I just need to give it more gas (harder on the clutch) or is this expected...
