    the "what mod next?" thread

    I figured that instead of making a new thread, i would just search for other mod threads and post there (here). I just picked up the Cobb SRI and installed it on friday night. First off, this is my first actual mod for my speed3. there are 2 very noticeable differences. sound and power (mj)...

    Intake, Real HP or just noise???

    when i had my VW R32, a company called Evolution Motorsports (evoms) made an intake of that type. i had one on my car and it actually made more power than a CAI with the intake filter located away from the engine bay. given that i just purchased a Cobb SRI, i hope they come out with a set up...

    Mazdaspeed 3 problems/troubleshooting thread

    to comment on fourthmeal's last post, the point of this thread is not to get an answer to my specific problems. instead, it is to see what everyone has had problems with. mainly, if everyone seems to be having similar problems, it may be brought up to mazda to see if a general update/recall...

    Mazdaspeed 3 problems/troubleshooting thread

    a VW thing for sure. i've noticed a large amount of black "soot" around the exhaust tip, so I figured it could be a coolant sensor/running rich problem. btw, great signature

    Mazdaspeed 3 problems/troubleshooting thread

    thanks for the info. i live in orange county, ca and i know that the traffic (and horrible road/traffic control designs) is to blame for some of my bad gas mileage. but, i figured it would be a tad better. i'm not complaining about it, though. 280 lb ft does not come without a price. i...

    Mazdaspeed 3 problems/troubleshooting thread

    I've read through many posts across a few different mazda forums, including this one, and have seen an array of different problems (big and small) from owners of the MS3. The purpose of this thread is to simply get a feel for what problems seem to be the biggest and most wide-spread. So...

    Why so many used MZSPD3s?

    this is my only real complaint too. i get about 250 miles until the gas light comes on. that's from a full tank. i plan to get to the dealership to check it out. me thinks a bad coolant sensor, a necessary reflash or maybe some loose seals. i have some clunky sounds coming from the rear...

    TWM Short Shifter + Bushings Question

    thanks kevin. i'll probably go with the SS + bushings first. if the shifter is a notchy, then i'll get the weighted. thanks for your help! the obligatory random icon (of which there seem to be thousands of on this site): (silly)

    TWM Short Shifter + Bushings Question

    thanks. i want to order the SS and bushings, but I want to know more about your weighted shifters. i'm curious to see what some owners/users think about the weighted shifters. Kevin, if you have used one, let me know what you think. and can someone tell me why this: (potkettle is an icon...

    TWM Short Shifter + Bushings Question

    What shares the garage with your Speed3?

    unfortunately, the MS3 sits outside, all day, everyday. another little beast stays in the garage.

    Lets see what everyone drove before getting the MS3

    long live the flapper, though. seriously great sounding exhaust on that car. but, SEVERELY underpowered.
