I checked ebay yesterday, and I would prefer LED but I will consider anything that will work on the 07 speed 3.

Just as it says, looking for a pair of OEM speed 3 tails, or a place that sells them. (besides mazda) Thanks!

problem solved, switched to royal purple 5w-40. Hasn't burned a drop in 2000 miles.

hmm... yeah forgot about that. If this amount of oil consumption continues, I have a feeling I will be smoking anyway soon. just seems to be burning at an alarming rate.(boom08)

Ok, I have just discovered an interesting issue with my MS3. It has never burned oil before, and it has only smoked on startup once. I just checked my dipstick about a week and a half ago and I was about 1/2 quart low. Seemed like no biggie so I just topped it off. However I just checked it...

lol very entertaining.

I just did this install as well. Nice and easy, car runs smoothly too. Only thing is I threw 2 CELs after I started the car. The one was for fuel rail input voltage too high, and the other one I don't even know what it was. I reset them and they havent come back since.

Hey guys, I am considering getting my motor rebuilt this winter and putting a larger turbo on. (A GT3071). I have a question though. I am looking into intercoolers and which ones would work best for a high boost application, and generally I have found that front mounts are used. I was just...

Alright, I think I will go with the 10w 40 and just keep the oil change intervals at 3000 miles as I have been. Thank you for all the info. and suggestions guys, and feel free to post any more info on the topic.

I am a NY MS3 and I also have a Cali model.

Here is my question. I am installing a down pipe soon so I am going to try to prevent the smoking issue before it starts. I already have a catch can installed so next I am going to switch to a heavier weight oil. Now I see a lot of people suggesting a 5w-40 oil. Unfortunately I have been to...

Thank you guys, those were exactly the posts I was looking for. I realize that the fuel pump may not fix it, but I would like to have it before I go stage 2 anyway before I put my downpipe on so don't worry it's not wasted money. As for the link to the new firmware, thank you I appreciate it...

Just to go back to the topic of the difference between boost cut and fuel cut, I really would like to know a few things. Why would mazda program 2 different kinds of cut into the ECU? I would think judging on when cars appear to be cutting that either one or the other would suffice as they...

Well what might the other reason for cut be? I am running the exact mods that COBB says to run, and the correct fuel. I am not getting boost spikes or boost creep. Everything pulls perfect with no stutter, and all of a sudden it was like someone slammed on my brake pedal. I have done...

hmm...does anyone know where I can find the latest firmware update? anyone else know for sure if it will work?
