    What to buy? MS3 or Civic si

    Having owned both, you can't go wrong with either car. Putting all the "who goes faster than who" aside, another factor to look at is being comfortable. If the car is for your wife and like most ladies, they like taking there friends with them when they go shopping bla bla bla, then hands down...

    Tenzo DC-5 (version 1) wheels on MS3!

    Very nice! What's the weight per wheel? I owned a set of Tenzo's several years ago and they were very durable against many hidden pot-holes. Again, looks great and your MS3 will look fantastic once you lower it.

    what do you think

    Picture number 8 would be great if you zoomed in half the distance from where you originally shot it. Nice 3 and looking good!

    Thinkin about getting a MS3

    Often on limited production cars you might have to travel to purchase one for two reasons. One the color and options you want and two, to stay away from crappy dealers. I went almost 100 miles out of my way to purchase my MS3 and it was well worth it because my two local dealers were, not worth...

    Spy Shots of the new WRX

    That's the one I was reading. Thanks! I personally like the 08 STI better than the regular trimmed 08 WRX. It's certainly not an 05 or even an 06 or 07, but the STI is not that bad. Also allot of you are saying you don't like the rear bumper, well that plastic insert, in case you were not sure...

    FMIC and airbox installed at BEGi

    Good on you for calling them. Thats the best way to get to the source. Not bashing on you, but until they post what they used to reach those numbers with a dyno slip, I call BS on just a FMIC installed. The 1/18/07 link on the Corksport Website will not open for details etc. Although I have...

    MS3 Upgrades... and where to start?

    As of now, I don't think anyone has posted if they have. I was reading a different post last night and someone was talking about doing it but that's about it.

    MS3 Upgrades... and where to start?

    Right On! On an average the quality cat-back exhausts out there will only produce 4 - 7 HP tops, and that's with other mods to compliment it in order to receive that small gain! As you said, there may be more to be had with a DP, but as of right now the primary (1st) CAT must remain in place...

    Mazdaspeed 3 Mazda upgrade rims

    (iagree) Back in the day when I raced my VW Scirroco I ran 13" 40 series tires... Lot's of fun and of course those were the days when a 15" wheel was considered HUGE! :D

    Spy Shots of the new WRX

    +1 Definitely! The 05 is the best looking but I would still take an 06 or 07 over the new 08.

    Spy Shots of the new WRX

    The recent Motor Trend or Road & Track, heck one of those magazines has the new 08 EVO and 08 STI on the front as well as an average review inside. Interesting as it is, I do not like the new regular WRX as shown in the earlier post however, the new STI has different lines, flared fenders...

    Oil capacity 6 quarts on the speed3?

    Odd, my manual says non-turbo is 5w20 and turbo'd is 5w30. Pg. 8-18 & 8-19.

    Oil capacity 6 quarts on the speed3?

    Regardless drain your oil until your content. Install the oil pan plug, new filter etc. Add 5 quarts of 5w 30 and check the level on the oil stick. Open that sixth quart and fill until it's full on the oil stick, install your oil cap and start the engine for a minute or two. Now DO NOT pull the...

    best place to ground sub amp in trunk

    I usually look around for a larger bolt/nut that's hidden out of sight but attached to the body, buy the correct size wire connector and attach it. Also the shorter your ground the better and it also eliminates the chance to pick up any additional noises.

    speed3 CAI suggestions

    They range from $300 - $335. Give Ron Tonkin Mazda a call and you can buy one for $310 shipped. They also sponser this Website vice others that may buy it a little cheaper from others, but are not participating sponsers.

    speed3 CAI suggestions

    The 12 month/12,000 mile warranty is on the CAI itself (parts). If you have the intake installed at the dealer they, well most dealers, warranty the install as well. So if for some reason you need to have the Mazdaspeed CAI replaced, you pay nothing. Now if you choose to install it yourself...

    2007 Jeep Compass gets New Rallye Package from Mopar

    It's about as ugly as the Caliber. A friend of mine has one in regular trim and it looks like the thing was mounted on a small car frame; really. Chrysler is so struggling. I told him he should trade it for a CX7...
