    CPE Standback installed and tuned..dyno results inside (pics)

    It looks a little jumpy on the graph but its a strong, silky smooth pull from 3,000 RPM's.

    CPE Standback installed and tuned..dyno results inside (pics)

    I got the CPE Standback installed and tuned last week. All I have to say is...Wow!!! I took it to Import Hot Rod Garage and dropped it off. It took them two days (taking their time and working on other cars as well) to install it, tune and dyno it. There is not a wire in site, they did a...

    Installed CPE Engine Management Unit. Dyno graph inside.

    Amazing, how difficult is it to hook up in the gears 1-3? I will definitely be purchasing the PnP model. How are u getting around the Fuel Cut-off? I swear I have felt it as well, 2 or 3 times, and all I have is the MS cai and TXS Hybrid BOV.

    Nopi 2007!! W/Pictures

    Nopi 2007 was awesome! The drifting was my favorite. The Viper was tearing it up(boom06) Here are a few pics I took. I saw only one other MS3 there, pretty cool guy with a Cosmic Blue Speed (it had CPE intake,RX8 wheels).

    Tell me more about the MS3--------

    GTI's are fun cars but they really don't compare to the performance of the Speed 3. I think the R32 would be more comparable although it is AWD. Too bad it weighs so freak'n much.

    New Wheels/Springs on MS3

    Looks great. How much was the drop? I love those wheels, seems popular on the MS3. I have Eibach's and love them but my shocks are going on me :eek: Ride has gotten much sloppier and the rear shocks squeek here and there. I'm probably ordering the MazdaSpeed Coilovers on a Group Buy today.

    Lowered Vehicle Pics

    Eibach Pro Kit - Akita Ak-4's (Hyper Silver) Thoughts: Much more stiff but also much less body roll. Shocks seem to be holding up fine, guess time will tell. Love the look and will probably go one profile lower in tire size when I get some new shoes to make sure I don't rub during spirited...

    Ha! I know man, I was just trying to lighten up his mood. That really sucks, I hate to see any nice car scratched up like that (shocked) Best of luck, hope you can have it looking like new in no time.

    Video Clip of a short run in NC

    Ha! Yeah, he was a bit nervous at first (nailbyt) but warmed up to it by the time we got to the top. I took his wife up next, she thought it was a blast (cabpatch)

    Video Clip of a short run in NC

    Whats up guys, I had a friend take this video after I got my Eibach Springs put on. This is one of my favorite roads to blast through on the weekends, its like a roller coaster. The camera is pretty hard to hold steady with so many curves and banks but I thought I'd share it anyway. The sense...

    Eibach Pro Springs on MS3 - Pics!!

    I got them from Mean Street Motorsports and I believe they were around $250. They are for the standard 3 (5 door). The MazdaSpeed Springs weren't a big enough drop for me (for the money) and with a slightly lower profile tire, these Eibach springs will be perfect.

    Eibach Pro Springs on MS3 - Pics!!

    Thanks for the comments guys (cheers2) I haven't scrubbed since pushing the car to its limits on Saturday but I will still be going to a lower profile tire to be safe. I have gotten more compliments this weekend on the car since I have had it(2thumbs)

    Eibach Pro Springs on MS3 - Pics!!

    I got the Eibach Pro Springs put on my MS3 saturday, it looks amazing on this car! I just got the Akita AK-4 wheels last week and knew they would look awesome with a nice drop :cool: Body roll is reduced quite a bit and it reminds me of how stiff my 350z was, not too bad but you definitely know...

    Akita Ak-4 Wheels on True Red MS3! PICS

    Well the Tenzo DC-5 wheels just ended up being too dark for my taste so I looked around and found these and had to get 'em (yes) They look amazing on this car, now I just need to get the MS springs and i"ll be set(drive2) They have a nice size lip and the Hyper Silver finish looks great paired...
