No kidding! The MS3 is great but I can't wait to start modding it! I can't here the turbo or exhaust so it's driving me crazy. So what kind of #'s are you expecting on the MSP? Looks like your really getting into it!
I have one up'ed on each car I've got, hopefully Mazda will have some type of Mazdaspeed beast around 2010 then I'll trade up. When I hit mid-life I hope I don't try to find a Turbo II rx-7 cuz I dought they will still be around! lol
I've thought about that a few times. I mean how often is the gas tested to see if it has what they say it has in it. If anyone knows I'm all ears (eyes) lol
The 6 is getting a 3.7? They should put out a turbo version of theat engine in the speed6! That would be great too. I'm glad Mazda has good plans coming.
I work in retail and a lot of people are just rude! I'm nice to everyone for the most part but if they are just dumb then I just ignore them. If you can't acknowlage someone being friendly then they have no soul. (headshake
Good info!!!!
I don't see how any air to air tmic would be much better for our cars other then boost presure loss. This proves that top mounts just suck in gereral.
Yes some tmic's can be a little better then the stock one but untill you move the intercooler away from the engine it just won't...
I think it's just our ecu's making crappy maps. For some reason they programed our ecu's to put out sub 10.1 a/f ratios. I think they just get worse the longer they have to set themselves. Try reseting your ecu back to the factory maps.
Just undo the neg. terminal on the battery for a few...
It's not gonna be cheap! It's a dual mass clutch and I'm not aware of any aftermarket campanies that make one for the car yet.

I didn't say it had no supercar qualities, just said it was missing one of the key elements. It's def. a different car and I would love to drive the hell out of it. I don't really go by what the true definition of a supercar is anyways, it's mainly what I see as being one. In a factual sense...
If anything its boarderline! I'm not gonna get in an argument about it, I was just saying my opinion. A supercar to me has to first have the wow factor. It does have the wow thats ugly, not wow that looks really fast. I give them credit on the car it's different. What if you took an ms3 and...
Still not a supercar! All the did is put a huge engine in the back of a small hatch, and change a few things on the looks. Hardly a supercar. I call that a street rod.
You would think a 12 cylinder twin turbo car would have more power but I guess not. I wouldn't want it to anyways. I would never buy this car. If I wanted a car that had those #'s I would get a c6 ZO6.
I don't like how it looks. Hatches are not supercars!!!!
I would like to drive it though!
Good 60 ft's!
I hit a 2.15 for my best 60 ft. I don't really try that hard for 60's more intrested in trap speed. I think I can do a little better but I don't have a motor mount upgrade so I get wheel hop pretty bad sometimes.
I had a 1.7 in my eclipse though!!(burnout)
I don't think hatchbacks are the best looking cars. I didn't buy the ms3 just because of the way it looked. It was mainly because of the performance and the comfort of the car.
I'm sure it will sell good and look forward to running into one on the highway.
I'm gonna wait to see the #'s some mags put out on this before I say too much.
The car is ugly but it has a turbo 4 cylinder engine so I'm intrested to see what it has. I don't agree with the american's don't have a 4 cylinder turbo car that is good looking and fast, what about the sky...
Agreed! Our injectors are far from maxed out. Its the pump! Meth/Water injection is great for this car. Last I checked higher octane was a good thing. It lets the car have tuning room, and it lets you turn everything up safely. Timing, boost, and a/f ratio.
Just think this is on a tiny...
My bros snow per. kit he has on his sti is ran as a dailey driver and he has a 6qt tank and it lasts for a good 2 weeks. Depends on how often he hits wot.
And no his does't blow water out like a whales blow hole, I was just joking(hump)
The worst part about fmic has to be the couplings coming off when you run 25+psi.. I thought I blew my engine everytime it came off. But I don't run that that much on the ms3....yet.
I miss checking for boost leaks and finding power because of a leak.
