    3m Clear Bra

    I have the Mazdaspeed3 Bra in case I make a road trip and it's really nice. I purchased it from our friends at Tonkin Mazda. Rockblocker on the headlights, foglights or film on the door mirrors and rocker panels are ok but your entire front end, I'm not a fan.

    Test drove an MS3: Impressions

    What's funny, I got that from a t-shirt my 17 year old boy wears. He wears t-shirts that can make anyone laugh. He's super smart and funny as heck. I'm not quite sure where he get's it from (me) but we drive his Mom and sister up the wall on a regular basis. It first started with a hot pink...

    My MS3 was stolen on Friday!!

    Hey camrycev6, has the said named person that brought his friend even been questioned by the police or by the investigator assigned to your case? Surely this can't be reported to the police and insurance and that's it. Just to let you know I'm still following this and for me, it's a no brainer...

    How fast are the GTPs???

    Yup! They have domininated in the GM 3800 class for a long time. There current record is a low 9 second bad boy. Again, they are very capable cars.

    Prefered Spring kit for MS3 - opinions?

    Hey Swamp, I couldn't have said it any better. My personal opinion is if you want a daily driver that drives super on the street, you don't have to avoid every object in the road, but can also run extremely well at the track without swapping out your suspension, hands down the Mazdaspeed kit is...

    Prefered Spring kit for MS3 - opinions?

    If you want lower than the Mazdaspeed3 springs I would look into the Roadmagnets jbiird has or wait until H&R or Eibach as a Speed 3 specific set available, not regular Mazda 3 springs in your Speed 3. jbiird's car looks great and from his feedback the ride is super as well. Unfortunatly my...

    Prefered Spring kit for MS3 - opinions?

    I personally have never owned any TEIN springs because I don't like the stance/rake they give most cars. Either the front looks dropped to much or the rear sags too far down in my opinion. Also don't go after a spring for price or availability. Go after the spring that you know in the long run...

    Prefered Spring kit for MS3 - opinions?

    X10. Plus if this is your first lowered car, you really learn how to drive the car all over again. Like jbiird said you'll enter driveways or any plaza entry that has a dip in it at an angle (which always pissed the guy off behind you when you slow down to almost a complete stop), never pull...

    MS3 oil?

    I agree with justa4banger. Conventional oil in a turbo'd car does as well as synthetic. I've been toying with turbo'd cars since the early 80's and the synthetic bug has never proven itself worth the extra dollars for me. I change my oil every 3000 miles like clock work and never in my many...

    153 MPH in MS3

    Sorry but this one is real easy for me, Public Road = Dumb. All you nay sayers can reply as you see fit, but if you want to go that fast, take it to the track. I own a ZO6 Vette as well and my MS3 has nothing on that car, but if I want to run it, I take it to the track.

    ANOTHER Broken motor mount........ Its my turn

    I'm willing to bet it will be a new mount. Furthermore, I'm willing to bet it will be a new bolt & mount combo. Why? From an engineers mind set, you really don't know what or how much stress the current bolt has undergone. Sure the bolt could "appear" to be in good shape, with no signs of wear...

    accident

    +1. Once the officer fills out the report he/she should provide you with a report number for you to obtain a copy etc. The report will list your neighbors insurance information so you can contact them in case they don't contact you. In addition to the report "most" officers will exchange...

    Poor Air Conditioning on MS3

    +1 I can hang meat in mine. Take it to the dealer and have them check it out. You may have a bad thermo-switch, but thats just a guess.

    2007 350z vs 2006 GTO

    The Goat is one bad machine however, I have yet to see anyone mention resale value. I'm a huge LS fan (I own a Z06 Vette) and I was going to purchase a GTO until I researched the resale value and it's below horrible, it stinks. That reason alone pushed me to the vette. If you plan to keep the...
