    Dynos and MS3...

    I dyno'd my car on two different dyno's, but both being dynojets. The first one was at ICS which I put down 266/306, and the second was the same one CTGrey02 went to in Bristol where I laid down a 269/302 pull. I thought the first pull at ICS was an anomaly so just to be sure I got a second...

    Is this Sick / Pathetic / Weird

    Really? You like driving your MS3 more than the S2000? I've got to get over the "my ms3 is my daily driver" stigma, because I'd rather spend all day in the S rather than the ms3.

    Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S Opinions?

    Why not look at Falkens or Kumho's? For the quality, theyre quite affordable. The zero neros left a bad taste in my mouth after fitting the M3 with them.

    MazdaSPEED3 specific aftermarket bumper?

    Had ordered a few parts for SU without any issues. As for the autoexe bumper, after shipping it's going to be $975. But they claim it's painted.. There has to be another options somewhere..

    MazdaSPEED3 specific aftermarket bumper?

    Got into a slight accident yesterday on the track and need a new front bumper cover. Besides the Autoexe, are there any others that'll fit the speed3? I could go stock, but wondering what else is out there. Thanks!

    Official M3 Release pics

    After owning the previous 3 generations of the M3, I dont think I'll be getting this one. After the E36, theyve become bloated, uninspiring and ugly. Nowadays theyre mostly toys for little rich kids with the one off enthusiast here and there.

    Auto Exe Bumper on CB MS3

    Cant wait to see better pictures of this on Cosmic Blue. I've only seen it on black which hides some of the accents of this bumper. Diggin the RE30's in mercury silver. But on the fence with the CF hood on blue - the hood covers a lot of real estate on the front end and there's too much of a...

    SUV murdered me in highway !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Was it a black SS with NJ plates and a Freehold FD sticker on the back? If so, you just got toasted by a sc'd SS.

    MS3 Loose Stabilizer Bar Nut - Clunks from the rear

    Rear drivers side nut loose here - 4200 miles. Did you guys lift your cars off the ground to tighten? I first tightened with the car sitting on the floor, then jacked it up and noticed I got another 1/2 turn. :(

    Variable Electronic Exhaust Bypass / Cut out?

    So was thinking a bit more on this subject. I've got the race pipe but it's made out of SS which is a bit hard to cut and re-weld properly. So.. what about keeping my stock exhaust and just cutting out the first resonator and installing the bypass where the resonator once resided? Here's a...

    Variable Electronic Exhaust Bypass / Cut out?

    Westchester County - moved up here after 9/11 :) As for awaiting a proper tuning and ecu manipulation device, I've thought of that as well especially after seeing the gains on my friends STi with a little bit of programming and the bypass. But, our speed3's run so damn rich it's silly and...

    Variable Electronic Exhaust Bypass / Cut out?

    One of my friends has an STi and had just installed the qtec exhaust bypass on his car and I was pondering doing the same for my speed3 but perhaps a little differently. In the STi under 'power' mode he'll keep the valve closed in 1st and 2nd gear, and half way through 3rd to keep the low end...
