    Who wants dibs on the XEDE PnP System?

    An AP fanboy I'm not...and the StreetTUNER software is pretty poopy as far as I'm concerned. The last STi I tried to tune with StreetTUNER has a dead spot in the power band because the increments aren't small enough to make a fine enough adjustment in timing. I still can't seem to remember how...

    Who wants dibs on the XEDE PnP System?

    So umm...how much does the Cobb AP cost after you drop $200 bucks on the StreetTUNER software? Oh yeah...still $100 less than the XEDE. (braindead

    Gear problem. MS3

    It's under warranty, if you're worried take it to the dealer. I would personally have to say your shift linkage might be slightly mis-aligned. If it won't go in at a dead stop, you might be causing excessive wear and tear on it when you're moving...this means the synchro's will eat themselves...

    Recall on MS3

    I had the dealer check my bolt, it was tight and definitely not loose. Sounds like a rare issue.

    225/40/18's?

    Not after he puts on the 225's. D-Stock requires same width tire, same size wheel, and within (i believe) a 1/4 inch of offset from stock.

    what's going on with my MS3?

    Letting your engine warm up doesn't do anything for the transmission. The second gear synchro's are a bit tough due to there being such a big ratio difference between first and second. Just be easy on shifting until the gear oil is serving it's purpose and making the shifts nice and smooth...

    XEDE Tech support thread & User maps

    Cheers guys, thanks for the support! I know I've been a little bit of a devil's advocate in your thread...but I do sincerely like your software and tuning solution. BTW -- Good luck sourcing some connectors to make this bad boy plug & play.

    AMS Mazda Speed 3 Test: The in's and outs of the MS3 powerplant

    I think you misread the chart. The reason the tq/hp don't cross is because the scales are different (look at the left side of the graph [power/hp] and the right side [torque/tq]). If you use the proper measurements the hp/tq ARE the same at 5252. (Horsepower = (TQ * RPM)/ 5252) I hate it when...

    Big front brakes from MazdaSpeed3

    My primary concern is good initial bite, good pedal feel, and minimal brake fade. The MS3 hits the spot for me there. A stiffer pedal feel doesn't give more confidence or anything, it just makes pedal modulation and (my bad) heal-toe downshifting even harder to do. *rant* I still do not feel...
