Ahhh..... Sure post away.

Are you kidding me. $7000 on top of what you pay at the dealer. That's why I originally said "dollar for dollar in stock showroom form." To purchase an R32 then dump $7000 for those numbers, well I guess that comes down to personal preference. Personally for me I can't see spending that on top...

Actually they give you cash value, but its not what most would think. It's higher than say Kelly Blue Book. Also you do get taxes back. They are supposed to take a look at the make model etc. value that plus tax, tag and title fee's. Trust me, I just had a car that was a total loss about...

The R32 is SUPER NICE however, 0 - 60 = 6.4 for lots of $$$ and AWD. I would expect it to at least compete with the WRX or EVO dollar for dollar in bone stock form. If they were as fast as they sound, we'd all be in trouble.

What has your insurance company told you? Also I hope you had GAP insurance if you financed it.

Nice! If we can get an upgraded bolt and a solid mount vice this two piece shearing deal the headache will hopefully be gone. VENDORS PLEASE TAKE NOTE! I might just contact a few of these urethane companies and see what it would take. I would purchase an extra side OEM mount to send in, if they...

Awesome! Best wishes to you, your team and all the parts you develop.

whitey4311, I certainly agree with you, I love the car and would definitely buy it again. Sure like any new car I expect issues, but one of this nature should not take so long to become a Recall or TSB. I just wan't to get over the worry of this possibly happening to me or anyone else for that...

Well I appreciate the update, but it still ticks me off. It seems to me that there taking the easiest and shortest route to "fix" the problem. Just like I originally said the engineerng of the mount sucks! If the mount was attached so the bolt fastened horizontally from front to rear, the...

The current FWD 2 door Gti is only ~60lbs lighter than the MS3 if I recall. The AWD R32 will be heavier i'm sure. Now, I really like the R32 allot! I'm not a fan of the FWD GTI for my own personal reasons however, considering the large amount of engineering that goes into the R32, I'm just...

Anytime! If you go to the last few pages you'll find allot of very important information as well as a few posted documents.

The reason I say I think it's pretty accurate is because I had it installed on a completely stock truck and wanted to see how close it was to the factory claimed HP and torque. Well to my surprise it was within 3-5 on both. Again this will never take place of a dyno run, but what I recommend...

As for your rear mount, check the torque on them and the three on the mounting bracket. (66 - 86 ft/lbs) I went in the middle with 76ft/lbs and then mark them as I showed on the side mount earlier. Now until all this gets figured out I can quickly get underneath the car and look at the marks...

Sorry, but I agree it falls in the SUV category however, I disagree price wise. Why? Because sitting in my garage next to my Mazdaspeed3 is a brand new Chevy Suburban 4X4 with every option possible and I pay ~$100 less per year than my MS3. *edit* forgeting the most important part, what...

Camrycev6, WOW! I just read this. I had a car stolen when I was in my early twenties and it's not a pleasant feeling. Rest assured I will contact you if I hear, see or smell anything. Watch eBay, autotrader and all those Websites like that.

+1. Justa4banger has had the side mount bolt under the battery box break and as maestro said, that was the original post. Hopefully we receive an update from him soon.

Hmmm, so your rear lower mount bolt was broke but you couldn't tell? So the bolt broke in half but remained in place? I'm sorry for asking so many questions, I'm just trying to figure out what your saying. I can jack my car up on the drivers side just a little bit, place a jack-stand...

Hey Gents, to avoid duplicating this post check this post out: Mazda Reflashed my ECU, Now I Am Not Getting a Black Tailpipe! http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123663394

So then your problem was the rear aftermarket mount? The mount that has major issues and the bolt breaks or backs out, is the side mount under the battery box, not the rear mount. Also the side mount is the one that breaks and causes your engine to drop. The rear mount can be removed without...
