    WTB: Mazda 6, 17"x7", angled 5 spoke OEM wheels

    Pretty simple request. Looking for a set of four (4) Mazda 6 OEM wheels. I would love to have a set of the more graphite colored ones but I will pay for some that are in decent condition. I am located at 28226 if someone wants to calculate shipping. It can be with or without tires. Thanks...

    Mazdaspeed service in Charlotte?

    I bought my Mazda from Bob King up in Winston Salem but I live in Charlotte. All of my service had been done at Harrelson Mazda, which then was bought out by Darrow Automotive and renamed Mazda of South Charlotte. Now the dealer has apparently just gone AWOL. Anyways, now that my closest...

    55 in a 35

    Same thread, different forum. Well, this isnt going to be a bitching thread about how I dont think I was at fault in this situation. I know I was speeding so I have to pay the price, I do have some questions though. I asked the officer his recommendation on the best way to handle this. He...

    If you could do it over again...

    Alright, since there is a "new" MS3 model with new colors and different interior. After everyone has probably seen the pictures, I was wondering, if you could buy it over again, what year would you go for? Please explain why in a post if you want!

    MS Lowering Springs

    Alright, because of the generality of the terms used in the search it was hard for me to find any information on people who actually use the Mazdaspeed Lowering Springs. Right now I only have about 8000 miles on the suspension so I am nowhere near needing anything to replace what I already...

    Looking for Emblems...

    I've been looking around for a Mazda 2 badge because I've had this "idea", yet I have not been able to find one. Anyone have a site they go to for badges or emblems? Also, anyone want to let me buy their "3" emblem?

    MS CAI : After-Install Pics

    The real reason for posting this is because I installed this myself and would like some feedback as to how things look compared to others either installed by the dealer of by themselves. I am taking my car in next week for its 7500 mile service and don't want to deal with any hassle about it...

    Quick Question

    For anyone who has ordered from ProtegeGarage, how long did it take them to process and ship your order? I placed an order for a MS CAI on Jan. 29th and it still appears to be pending on their site. I have not received any further e-mails even after the amount was charged on my card and one...

    Battery Relocation

    After looking at the recent R&T article on the SRT-4 and Speed3, for some reason after they said the SRT-4 had a better weight distribution, I wanted the Mazda to beat it in that category as well. (cabpatch) Anyways, my friend used to have a '90 240SX and relocated his battery to his hatch...

    Mazdaspeed Haiku! ^_^!

    For those who might have forgotten, the very basic type of Haiki is a small poem consisting of 3 lines each with a specific amount of syllables (5-7-5). The art of the Haiku is that it does not have to rhyme so it should be easy for the lot of us! I am a little bored on lunch so I figure this...

    The "I Still Have a Stock Mazdaspeed3 (or very close to it)" Thread

    The "I Still Have a Stock Mazda (or very close to it)" Thread Basically as the title states. I would classify myself in this category except for the K&N and bushings but I would say since I have spent less than $100 in modifications, my 08 Cosmic Blue would qualify. So please chime in! Maybe...

    TPMS - The price of convenience

    Okay, I know there are a few threads already about how annoying the TPMS can be but I will go ahead and share my story. I was driving home one day and the sensor light came on. I soon noticed it was a nail in my right-rear tire and in an easy, fixable location. So, I took it to the local...

    Color-matched Emblems

    I passed a black Infiniti G35 Coupe this morning and his rear emblem was painted blackto match. It looked nice but many times, black is really the only color people use to paint their emblems. I got to thinking, what would a color-matched Mazdaspeed3 or other emblems look like on the car? Any...

    MS3 - Under-chassis bracing

    Alright, I am still new to my Mazdaspeed3 and mainly, Mazda vehicles in general. I have been looking around on various websites for modification options and came across the GT Spec Mid-Chassis Brace and the rear lower tie brace. Coming from a MKIII GTI, I had installed quite a bit of...

    MS3 - Rear wing effectiveness

    This is a really simple question and it could have possibly been answered somewhere else already. Are there any numbers out there that show if the rear-wing on the back of the hatch is effective in reducing lift? I figure that if it is, than it would really only be effective at higher speeds...

    MS3 - Brakes Sticking?

    Okay. I just got my Mazdaspeed3 a week ago and I had a question for those who have owned the car longer. Over the weekend, I found that my brakes would sometimes stick to the rotor and upon accelerating from a stop, will proceed to make an intermittent noise from the rubbing until about 20...
