Why are you tapping the speedometer wires???

Well I went to CP-E web site today for the first time. I am impressed with thier products. For about $2200 you can get CAI, Exhaust, Downpipe w/ cat, and BOV kit. With close to 300hp and over 300tq to me that is not bad. But that is only matter of opinion. This will be the setup I get when I...

And on top of that Corksport has about $100 mark up on everything they sell from Auto EXE.

I have known other people who said they had the same problem with Turbo XS BOV's. They might have made a faulty batch or something. Good luck with the new one. Let us know if it works better.

If you like to sound it makes buy it. HKS is a respectable brand.

I don't think Mazda will have the price set that high. But I have seen dumber things before. Even if they do come out with high prices it won't take long for them to drop the price when people don't buy the stuff.

That is the same point were I used to shift in my Protege. Still learning the car. I will shift at 6k and see what the difference is. Thanks for the advice.

I have read the same thing from tuning mags. Turbo get better gains than N/A cars. I have also been told the same thing by some performance shops around the area. The closes thing I have to proof is when I own a Protege I put the Injen CAI and gained 5hp and a friend of mine has a Mazdaspeed...

I don't know why anyone would say the 3 could not go faster than a 14.4 in the 1/4. I am not the best driver in the world but I put that time on a stock Speed3. Breaking into the 13's with upgrades should not be a problem. Nice time REDMS3GT.

Ritchie is a parts guy at Mazda here in Tampa and tells me they plan to release the parts January 19th. So from what he says we still have about a month to wait.

14.49 @ 96.82 1/4 9.32 @ 77.03 1/8 2.41 60 foot time 5.91 0-60 time The runs were smooth. Make sure to turn TCS off. It is very restrictive. The stock tires don't have the best grip. Best shift point I found is at 6500rpm.

Yes that is the drag time. I will post the rest of the information. A friend of mine has a G-Tech Pro meter. We did these run on regulars streets. When he runs his car with the meter it is usally .02 seconds slower than the actual track time. The only thing it does not give is R/T. When you take...

Get a single pod and put it on the A-pillar.

The dealer I bought the car from has told me the intake and exhaust can be purchased for around $1500 plus install. I did not ask for part numbers or any of that so I will call back and find out if it is for the Mazda3 or Speed3.

Do you really think that is going to make that much of a difference? Sounds like a lot of work for little gain. Let me know how it turns out.

Then with that statement you are correct. My bad.(first)

Come to Tampa and buy one. You will save about $10k. I got mine out the door including tax for under $25k.

The top mount intercooler is not that hard to swap out if you wanted to. Takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Depending on how good you are with tools.

Mazdaspeed CAI and exhaust system add 30 hp to crank. The actual hp to the wheels is about 22 hp. Which is what they claim. I am going to try to find the link that I read it on and post it for you all. The best thing about the upgrade is it does not void the warranty. For around $1500 you can...
