You totally should have driven off acting like you didn't see them in the back. Heck, maybe even lower the tailgate and make them hold on for their dear, drunken little lives. So far I have been pretty lucky about not receiving any vandalism. The occasional rock hitting glass on my expensive...

I wonder if the rear wing helped reduce lift under braking.... kidding. Anyways, yes, I have also been impressed by the brakes on the MS3 except for the strange noises they made for the first 600 miles or so.

Well, what exactly are you looking to do? You say your rear end feels a bit loose but by loose I guess you mean you feel the body roll, especially in the rear. A rear (anti) sway bar will fix this problem and it can be even further complimented by adding a rear strut tower brace, preferably...

I have a set of underdrive pulleys on my '95 VR6 and it honestly made a huge difference! Granted, the low end was a little more sluggish but after you hit about 3000, the tack skyrockets; especially for an engine without valve timing. The hard part was actually getting the crank bolt out of...

Search GT spec in (google) They have quite a bit for the normal 3 but I have not gotten a chance to look under the MS3 all that much yet but it would be interesting to know which of these pieces would be a direct fit on the MS3 without having to replace a stock member. I know there is a rear...

I think that statement should be reevaluated. As the poster before me has stated, it is still important to keep the rear wheels on the ground. I guess the only true way to find this out would be with a wind tunnel and a MS3 with and without a rear wing. I could really be thinking too far...

Alright, I am still new to my Mazdaspeed3 and mainly, Mazda vehicles in general. I have been looking around on various websites for modification options and came across the GT Spec Mid-Chassis Brace and the rear lower tie brace. Coming from a MKIII GTI, I had installed quite a bit of...

Did you have to buy the shifter/bushing set and just use the bushings or could you find them somewhere else. From what I could see on their site, they dont sell just the bushings. BTW, all these performance sites are new to me, I come from VW-land where your parts sources are slightly more...

Noob question. Say I wanted to keep my stock shifter (for now) and just go with bushings. Do they fit the stock rod...

This is a really simple question and it could have possibly been answered somewhere else already. Are there any numbers out there that show if the rear-wing on the back of the hatch is effective in reducing lift? I figure that if it is, than it would really only be effective at higher speeds...

For me, I think I am planning on putting on some Cobb sway bars and a short throw. After that I think I will be done with the modifications. I have a K&N on the way but thats as far as I will probably go as far as "power". I am more of a suspension guy anyways. Most people who look at a car...

TurboWagon 2008 Cosmic Blue Mica Sport - Charlotte North Carolina

Hmm, it seems that I am not the only one having some brake issues with the MS3. Yesterday, when I got home, I noticed some noise coming from the same passenger front pad. When I press down the petal to brake, I could hear the contact of the pad and the rotor. Now, this could have been...

Hmm.....I like imaging the worst thing possible! Thanks! Haha, kidding. But seriously, I know where you are coming from because brakes are nothing to mess around with. But I am not too worried as of yet. So far its only done it noticeably, one time in my car but the only reason I question...

Okay. I just got my Mazdaspeed3 a week ago and I had a question for those who have owned the car longer. Over the weekend, I found that my brakes would sometimes stick to the rotor and upon accelerating from a stop, will proceed to make an intermittent noise from the rubbing until about 20...
