    puff of smoke?

    I had the same thing but it got progressively worse. After idling it would pour white smoke. There was no coolant in the engine oil (thank goodness) and the car ran great so I knew something odd was going on. I took it to the dealer and they said it was condensation build up from my race pipe...

    Linkin Park

    This album is not near as powerful as their other albums. Track 2,3 and 8 are the only ones that really rock and they are pretty awesome but the rest are very mellow and slow. I think its fine to have a few songs that are different but the majority of this cd you will skip if you really...

    Lots of white smoke at Idle on MS3- with pic

    its been nowhere near cold here lately (high 70's to upper 80's). I put the stock Cat back on and problem is solved. I guess the test pipe was building up condensation after all. What a pain, oh well, guess I"ll wait on the MS catback.

    Tenzo DC-5 (version 1) wheels on MS3!

    Thanks for all the comments guys! I got them from my local performance shop, Mean Street Motorsports. I usually get all my parts and work done there. I can't wait to get some springs and a tint soon, I"ll be sure to post before and after pics when I get it done.

    Lots of white smoke at Idle on MS3- with pic

    Everything is cool minus the white smokescreen but maybe it will just stop doing it like before. If it did it all the time, like under acceleration I would be worried but this is more of a inconvenience than anything. I guess if it doesn't stop I"ll just slap the stock cat back on and see if...

    Lots of white smoke at Idle on MS3- with pic

    Well the I callled to see what the dealership came up with. They say its b/c I have no 2nd cat (turboxs race pipe) and its from the exhaust not burning up in the catalytic.... ok so why have I had this on for months and only seen this twice?? Oh and its at idle, regardless of how long I have...

    Lots of white smoke at Idle on MS3- with pic

    It only does it at idle, I think if it was a blown head gasket it would do it all the time.

    Lots of white smoke at Idle on MS3- with pic

    I have seen this one other time and did some research but the problem went away. It returned last night and let the car cool down for a few minutes. I came back outside to shut it off and saw lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust. I saw one thread previously where a few MS6 guys had...

    Tenzo DC-5 (version 1) wheels on MS3!

    Hey guys, I finally got my wheels in Friday. They were out of stock for a while but it was so worth the wait. I also bought a gloss black lug nut pack to match the wheels. They are wrapped in the factory rubber. I"ll be getting some new shoes for them in a few months. Here are a few pics...

    I have this posted in its own thread and figured I should also place in this Group Dyno Thread. (cheers2) Well, finally got on the dyno, it was a lot of fun. Final results were 230WHP and 270TQ. I knew before hand the nose dive after 5600 rpms and that this thing runs pig rich. Seeing the...

    MazdaSpeed 3 on Dyno Dynamics - VIDEO!

    That was the majority of the runs (3 solid pulls). They did hook up the sensors and I was horribly rich (like that is any suprise). They had a fan in front of the car. We did pulls with the hood down and up, after the heatsoak set in, it didn't matter what you did with the fan. I will post my...

    Well, finally got on the dyno, it was a lot of fun. Final results were 230WHP and 270TQ. I knew before hand the nose dive after 5600 rpms and that this thing runs pig rich. Seeing the graphs first hand makes it very apparent that with a good tune this thing will make a lots more power just by...

    Thought my turbo was toast!!

    I am thinking about the downpipe as well. Looking forward to the XEDE becoming PnP, then I will probably have to get it. I think after that I will be well over 300WHP, which should make this thing even more fun(glare) 07 MS3 - True Red - Turboxs Hybrid BOV - Turboxs Race Pipe - MS CAI RIP...
