I have the Injen intake and replaced the oiled-air filter with an AEM Dryflow filter (part # 21203DK - approx $50). I have yet to have any CEL problems but we have not had much rain here and I hand wash my car. Hope everything works out for ya.

Camel, if you get a chance, let us know what happened at your dealer appointment. I am interested in hearing what they had to say. Thanks!

I'm sure your not scary Hikaru! :p That MS3 was prolly stolen and they were just afraid you would ID him/her.

(boom04) Are these available in the US? What were your impressions of this vehicle? I have always wanted to drive a Cosworth.

MacGyver never used epoxy, he only used Wrigleys Gum! LOL j/k...good suggestions Grazz. (bowdown)

LOL, you have to be kidding me. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist, but when I pay $25k+ for a brand new vehicle, I expect to drive it for more than a month or two without having to take it back to the dealership multiple times. I really feel for Papa and would definitely consider his MS3 plight...

If you are looking for a factory bumper cover, then give Jason a call at Montgomery Mazda. They are a forum sponsor and offer great pricing and service! His number is as follows: 704-563-1510 ext 141. Good Luck! :) PS: If I'm not mistaken, Axela is the JDM badge for the Mazdaspeed 3.

I'm in Charlotte, NC and I've only seen 1 other MS3. It was Silver.

Congrats Kosh! You have really got me interested in auto-x now and I am going to try and attend a few events this year to see if it's for me. If so, maybe next year I'll head down to Hotlanta and give you a little competition in class. (nana)

Just started going through this thread and saw Chronus' post and that he lives in Virginia. Chronus, before doing anything with the head lights or fog lights on your MS3, I would check with a state approved inspection station or the Va DOT. Va, like my home state, NC, has some fairly strict laws...

Most factory tint ranges from 18 to 20%.

Congrats and nice job Peter! (cool)

Check your local Yellowpages for Window Tint stores. Make sure and check out more than one. Talk with the tinters and ask to see some of their work. If you feel uncomfortable with them or they refuse to show you any recently tinted vehicles, then they are probably not for you. When checking out...

Window tint prices vary depending on what brand film you use and the area that you live in. Huber Optic is by far the most expensive tint but has some nice features and benefits. When choosing a tinter, make sure that you can see some examples of his/her work and that you feel comfortable with...
