    M3 Style, have you seen a Mazda version?

    I meant (and should have said) bolt pattern. There are a few BBS's out there, thanks for the suggestion of other cars on Tirerack!

    M3 Style, have you seen a Mazda version?

    Good call on the BBS's, I'm not sure they do Japanese hub sizes, will have a look. The Wedssports aren't quite what I'm after. Is this the Enkei you were thinking...

    Advice please: considering CAI/PG Manifold

    Thanks a lot everyone, I hadn't seen the HKS SRI, will have to have a look at it. Indeed a warranty will be a bit of a problem with a different manifold and dp, but, what the hell, I'm in Canada with an American car anyway. I'll just look at it as a way to reinvest the $6,000 I saved when I...

    CP-E motor mount review and analysis.

    Would you go so far as to say that the race version may be a good choice?

    M3 Style, have you seen a Mazda version?

    Has anyone seen a wheel close to these that will fit the Speed3's?

    Advice please: considering CAI/PG Manifold

    My 08 is stock at the moment and will certainly be getting the CP-E motor mount, my wheel hop is pretty bad. Otherwise I'm considering the PG exhaust manifold(once the fitment issues are resolved) and a CAI to go with it. My priority is on keeping the car sounding basically stock but getting...

    CP-E motor mount review and analysis.

    So do you think adding the rear motor mount is a necessary thing or a waste of money? http://www.therpmstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=122&products_id=751

    Anyone getting shocked by their MS3?

    The other annoyance is that the glove box seems charged with static...every piece of dust levitates off the carpet up to it!

    MS3 at high speeds?

    I wouldn't describe the high speed sensation so much as floating, to me its bouncy due to a lack of rebound dampening. Now, my parents 1981 Parisienne, that car floated! Honestly I'd say the car is definitely in the top 20 percent of vehicles at high speed, its not perfect but you've got to be...

    MS3 at high speeds?

    IMO the Speed3 is a very good car at high speeds, far superior to my 03 VR6 GTI. I think there's two reasons for it, first the stiffer spring rates and second, there has been some aero attention paid to the car (at least that's what they state in the advertising mumbo-jumbo) in the form of the...

    How will the power limiters in 1st and 2nd gear respond to additional boost/changes?

    On the Speed3 the computer cuts to something just shy of 70% in 1st and just shy of 90% in second gear. Is the computer cutting fuel input to 70% of max or using some other method to reduce output? I'm wondering what the impact of say a manifold would be in the lower couple gears, would we see...

    Phatbox and a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 w/Bose (no nav)

    I've given the files here a try: http://downloads.phathack.com/firmware/, the unit responded with a sequence of red and green flashes that looked like a reboot/firmware update to me, I let it run for 10 minutes. Since then the unit has been unresponsive to both the headunit and the reinsertion...

    '08 MS3 Bose No-Nav Head Unit Builder?

    When I built the thread I was investigating putting in both a Sirius unit and the Phatbox, I've since given up on having both, have cut down a Phatbox, mounted it into an electronics enclosure and installed it in front of the spare tire with a Mazda 6 cable. I've used the files you referenced...
