^I agree with the above comments. Although the low end loss is not noticable as far as the CS SRI. Only thing I can see great about the exhaust is the tone and the possible weight savings.

FS: 350Z V2 Touring Wheels (18) - perfect for 3 and Speed3's! I am deciding to go a different route with my Mazda3 and selling my custom 350X V2 Touring wheels The wheels are painted in Hyper Black and are in perfect conditon. The wheel specs are: 18x8 +30 offset F 24.4lbs 18x8.5 +33 offset R...

Autocross season is coming soon and I will need to upgrade my pads. The only ones I am finding currently for the Skyactiv is the Hawk HPS on Corksport's website. I believe Joel @ Corksport confirmed that the front pads will work on the Skyactiv, although the description for the rear only list...

I installed my intake this past weekend. The install for the Corksport intake was a breeze! The removal of the stock, whole different story... the rubber-ish sleeve that connects the air box to the throttle body was annoyingly difficult to remove. Go fig. So far, here is what I like. The car...

I was curious on this subject as well. The manual recommends Castrol Syntec 0W20. I was quite the fan of Penzoil Ultra on my G35, I was thinking of sticking with that. I still get 3 oil changes on the house where I bought my Mazda, so afterwards I will switch to the Ultra (although i will use...

Thanks for the video! I get the first year of oil changes free from the dealership, but after that I'll be doing them myself. I am happy to see the drain/filter area has a decent access panel (unlike my G35). Speaking of the G35, IIRC, the Skyactiv 3 uses the same filter part as the G35 for...

Nice, congrats! I was at first trying to find a VMR, but the dealership did not have any that was the GT model. They had two GT models in the dark silver and the dolphin gray. I actually like the Dolphin Gray a lot in person (kinda reminded me of the lakeshore slate color for the G35's).

Damn! Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I will be able to secure a cheap set of 350Z wheels for show/everyday (any recommendations for all season tires? Been awhile since I picked up a set) and on the stock 16's put some high performance summer tire for auto x only.

I did some more homeword last night... I found a Miata club in my neck of the woods that hosts auto-x events. Their classes are a bit more relaxed then say SCCA. I plan on trying one of those events in the spring. I thanks everyone for their advice!

OP, just curious, I presume you are on the stock tires? We have received little to no snow in the Chicagoland area, so I have not had the opportunity to see how the car handles.

^Thanks, good point. I'll have to do some research on that front. As far as the 350Z wheels, I was curious on the fitment. I was trying to hit up my old contacts when I owned a G to see if I can try them out. I saw the 350Z wheels on a '08 Speed3 and it looked pretty nice, but I'm not sure how...

Thanks for the advice so far, good stuff... I was curious on the sway bar as Corksport only offers a rear (although Racing Beat has one for the front). Was wondering why they did not offer one. If I decide to just do a rear, I guess a front strut brace would be completely pointless from what I...

Hello everyone! I am a proud new owner of a 2013 Mazda3 Skyactiv. I traded my '04 G35 last month as I needed something a bit more practical, better on gas, but still fun to drive. So, the 3 was a no-brainer. I am also doing some research on entering my 3 in autocross this summer. Was hoping...

I picked up a dolphin gray mica 2013 Mazda 3 Skyactiv back in December.
