I'm guessing no one has ever seen this article? RS vs. VIII vs. MR. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedan/112_0503_2005_lancer_comparison/

... And if those cars were to be released in June, wouldn't it be a 2007.5 MS3 instead of 2008?

The tranny mount IS the driver side mount. IIRC, the engine is supported by only three mounts.

Nope... He was a San Jose Police officer. What's funny is that this same cop stopped me last summer when I was driving my old Sentra SE-R. That car had expired tags, a loud exhaust, rollbar, CF hood, etc. It wasn't a car I drove daily, as my daily car at the time had two flat tires. He let...

Stop right there... How do you know the Mazdaspeed CAI for the MS3 only gains 4-6hp?!? No one, to our knowledge, has yet to dyno the Mazdaspeed CAI. The CP-E CAI has been dynoed at around 15-20hp over stock, and while I don't expect the same for the Mazdaspeed piece, it would most likely not...

Paul Newman is 81, and IIRC, he co-drove in the 24 Hours of Daytona a few years ago. Now that man can drive, even in his advanced years!

I don't see why it wouldn't fit. I'm looking at the tire specs for a 215/45-17 Falken ZE-512, and the approved rim widths are from 7"-8". Not sure what tire you have, though.

So a funny thing happened last night. On my way home, I get stopped by a cop. I'm thinking, "What the hell did I do?!?" I roll down the window, and the first thing the officer says is, "Is this a Mazdaspeed3?" He just wanted to check out the car; the officer is an Evo owner. I had my...

Well... Someone else discovered the trick. I found it on another Mazda3 messageboard. http://tinyurl.com/2vcox3

Unlocked the trip computer in my MS3 Sport.

I have not yet noticed a police officer look my way as I drive by. Heck, I haven't even seen anyone in a WRX, STi, or Evo look my way... They must think it's just a regular Mazda3 that just happens to be "arrest-me-red." As for choice in color, I'd just stay way from black in general. Cars in...

Installed the TWM shifter bushings earlier this morning. It's like a brand new car all over again, and I've only had it for a little over a month!

Sold to Rotus8! Thanks for playing. Mods, please close this thread. Thanks!

As the topic title says, I'm selling my stock MS3 wheels and tires. I only put roughly 150 break-in (meaning: gentle driving) miles on these wheels/tires before swapping them out for something else. TPMS sensors are not included; they were removed, and I had the wheels rebalanced with new...

Cosmic Blue :D

If you're talking about the Owner's Manual, it covers all 3's; sedan, hatchback, 2.0, 2.3, Mazdaspeed, etc.

Interestingly enough, it has not come on yet... I probably haven't driven it enough for the TPMS computer to realize the sensors aren't there. When you switch the key to the ON position, you will see the TPMS light turn on for a brief moment. It's on the tachometer, and it's bright yellow.

Not quite sure about that yet... I haven't put up an ad because I want to get the TPMS sensors off first. Though, I've seen a few sets on eBay go for $850, and the tires had more miles on them than mine. So, I'll probably start from there. Hopefully, I'll find someone local, as it would be a...

Thanks, man. I've already had a few people on another mazda3 board telling me to lower the car, which I'm not looking to do right now (don't want to sacrifice ride quality on a daily driver). Now, I just need to find someone local looking to buy some stock MS3 wheels/tires.

1. 5 x 114.3mm Can't answer your other Q's, but I am running a 17 x 7" wheel with a +48 offset, and they fit just fine. Offset for the stock MS3 wheels is +52 or thereabouts.
