(uhm) uhhhh... I have sold cars for a Honda dealer before, and I find it very hard to believe that a dealer sold a Grand Touring Speed3 (invoice of $22,497 BEFORE destination charges, etc.) After destination charges, the INVOICE would be around $23,000... there's no way a dealer would come down...

So I got the car back from the dealer today, they had to replace the following: -Passangers side rear strut -Both Stabilizer bar link bolts -passangers side rear link between stabilizer bar and suspension arm -"multiple" suspension bushings as they put it -and they ordered new stabilizer bar...

Mine definitely wasn't that... the dealer tried to tell me that too... "the tight suspension is going to make more noise"... I told him I know that, but this was not normal tight suspension noise... but he looked at me like I was stupid... what happened, they ended up replacing my passanger rear...

Oh ok.. I didn't know they only got the GT packages up there, the sport you can get for about 23k out the door if you don't pay taxes... so it would be a much closer call... I personally didn't want the GT, the only thing I wish the sport had was the HID's, they can keep the leather, stereo, and...

If it's an 07 I am assuming you may still have fairly low miles on it? My Mazdaspeed3 is getting terrible gas mileage, but it is slowly going up as I add miles, first tank was like 18.5MPG, second went up to like 19.3MPG, recent tank was 19.8MPG, and the tank I am driving on now is looking to be...

Yea I read his thread, actually the day the noise started I was going to make a thread about it and found his, which is what led me to call the dealer and take a look myself. Warranty will cover it, that is not a problem, I just can't believe that the car only has 800 miles and has that much...

Let me shine a little light for you, seeing how I came from an 06' Civic Si Coupe to a MS3. I am not sure what the price tag is on the 08' Si Sedans, but I am going to safely say around 21-22k w/o nav. In most cases, the MS3 Sport model should have an MSRP around 22,850, so they are not that far...

So I took my car in for a clunk in the front suspension last week, they "tightened" up some bolts, and for the most part, the front seems solid again, but still semi in question... may still make some small... non normal noise. I drive 90% of the time with the radio off so that I can definitely...

Protege Garage has a GB going for these... awesome price too: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3117871#post3117871

It is very difficult to remove the diverter without breaking it where one of the bolts are. I would take pics, but I just moved and my camera is in storage. Getting the bolt out is difficult if you have big hands, I managed to go in through the top and remove the bolt (it is at the top of the...

Ordered my intake from protege garage straight off the website, didn't need to call to check or anything, ordered it, 3 days later it was at my front door, smooth as butter, and highly recommended.

After doing the install last night, if you do not take the tire off... I hope you have a huge backup plan to get that air deflector out... it is damn near impossible to get a grip on from the top, and the intake cannot be installed with the air deflector in place, the filter will hit it. all you...

From what I have seen for pics for cp-e intake install and after installing the MS CAI, the design is almost the same, cp-e puts the MAF in a slightly different place then MS, the cp-e does not mount the resistor box to the intake (MS does so that you can put the rubber mount in the intake so it...

I don't understand this... the intake will have nothing to do with the exhaust, they both have similar design, same function, and yield probably almost the same results. What you use for an intake and exhaust does not matter. Now if you were unsure if say a cp-e downpipe would work with a...

Well I took mine in to have my front end clunk looked at, the dealer tightened a couple bolts, and claimed my motor mounts were "just fine." I still hear an awkward thud that I am not used to when I go over speed bumps, does anyone else? when I go really slow over a speed bump, the second the...

I know where you can get most of them and they normally always have them in stock... I buy all mine from the site. http://www.twosrus.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=22_83 The owners name is Dave Hawkins, it is a site for MR2's, but I own an MR2 so I shop there all the time. Email him and ask him...

How did you tear the mount apart (boom01) ? What kind of driving are we talking about? The dogbone style mount from protege garage looks great, but with a mount of that style, it's going to transfer a lot of vibration into the car.. mine is a DD and will probably never see track time... just...

I have not heard of the SU motor mount, what site is that on and what is the cost? Any info would be much appreciated Clos: Straight from Corksport's website: http://www.corksport.com/store/item/1kg0n/MS3_Engine/CorkSport_Mazdaspeed3_Axela_Urethane_Engine_Mount_Insert.html

Yea I am not much of a track go'er with this car as it is the DD, more of just the occasional spirited ride around or highway runabout, but no autox or anything. How much vibration resonates into the cabin with the AWR 70 on the car? If I went AWR, 70 is what I would choose, but I think I am...

That is exactly why I am leary, I had a boost controller on my first swap in my MR2, but it was not properly hooked up, and next thing I know BAM as I hit 24psi and lost cylinder #3. I would like to also get the oil pressure, but right now there are no affordable, clean gauge pods out for the...
