    my christmas present, a broken motor mount!!!!

    What is the group final say on this question..?.."a stiffer rear engine mount will help save the stock side tranny mounts" OR "a stiffer rear mount will stress out the stock side mounts" ?

    GB; Mazdaspeed 3 Turbo Inlet Pipe-$99 SHIPPED

    We are also inlcuding a extra 45 degree coupler for those who are using a COBB or CPE SRI for $40 extra Isn't that a bit excessive for a silicone coupler...I think I'll get my own for 1/2 that or less.

    I think I blew my turbo

    I also don't think 19 psi would cause a problem assuming this was indeed the Max. boost you hit...I would go over once again every boost tube/boost-seeing line and reconfirm there is not a leak...make yourself a boost tester with PVC pipe/cap and a tire valve and pressurize her to 20psi and see...

    Sputtering + CEL = :(

    Certainly knowing the CEL is necessary...in the meantime, check to see that you hoses from turbo to IC to intake haven't loosened or that one of the vacuum hoses off the intake is off.

    I was trying to get some tophats so I could fool around with Koni's and different springs, ready to swap onto the car saving time.

    Eibach FINALLY is ready to release their Pro-Kit for the MS3!

    We're pretty easy going out here in Ashevillia. BTW, what does the word written in Cyrillic (?) letters under your name mean ?

    Eibach FINALLY is ready to release their Pro-Kit for the MS3!

    Certainly appreciate your comments and agree with them. The majority of people with coilovers don't need them and set them up with height as the only guideline. I inherited a wheel weight setup from a former competition team I was involved with and it has sat unused for the most part. I...

    Eibach FINALLY is ready to release their Pro-Kit for the MS3!

    I had posted a thought about upgrading to yellow Koni's with these new Eibachs and the only reply I got was.."no need to since these springs are designed with the stock struts in mind." Anybody know of a reason why Yellow Koni's with their adjustable features couldn't cope with this set of...

    WTB-Ft. strut tophats/bump stops

    Those of you that switched to coilovers and can get rid of their stock front strut's top hat/strut bearing assembly (the shaft nut would be nice too)...let me know!

    Rear shock removal question....

    Since I removed the interior rear hatch plastics and didn't see any sign of the rear shock area mount, I am assuming the shock is removed from the wheel well area via the two upper nuts on studs...right? What does the top of the shock look like when removed? Thanks,

    Some tire/wheel/clearance help, please.

    My experience with my MS3 and the TPMS swap to my RX8 rims followed the section in the Owner;s Manual where it tells you how you can "activate" the new sensors if you don't want to take it to Mazda...as far as "recalibrating" them to activate at another psi level, only the Dealer can do that per...

    Some tire/wheel/clearance help, please.

    I know that my stock TPMS's worked when transplanted to my RX-8 rims( Owner's manual has a section on activating them)...I can't help with the tire question..using 225/45-18's S0-3 Pole Position's. I'd suggest using the usual extra $$ needed for the larger tire size to upgrade the 225 quality...

    Eibach FINALLY is ready to release their Pro-Kit for the MS3!

    Supposedly, per postings on the ***********, Koni threw some MZ3 Koni's on a Speed and declared them OK for that application..both the yellow Sports and the FSB's (FSD?).

    Eibach FINALLY is ready to release their Pro-Kit for the MS3!

    While designed for our stock strut/shocks, does Eibach have any opinions on performance if used with Koni's..obviously "better" or not necessarily the case ? Any chance a person could contact a certain supplier to preorder..wink..wink..!

    Will these fit, If so I'm ordering!!!

    The rim will extend out another 1.5 inches, not counting what further extension will be caused by the larger tire size width....you will need some major fender modification particularly in the back.

    Eibach FINALLY is ready to release their Pro-Kit for the MS3!

    Who would be the Supplier with the best price on these springs when they become available..i.e. the usual spot to get Eibach goodies?

    Rally Armor Mazda Speed 3 mud flaps now available

    Probably could be cheaper if RallyArmor didn't have to slap their logo on them. Can't really see what they look like in their photo..are they 3D molded flaps or just flat pieces like the Subaru urethane pix shows ?

    Mazda 3 SS Brake Lines

    These are for a regular Mazda 3...the front lines are too short, will attach but are stretched at full wheel lock.
