    MS3 will be in Need for Speed Pro Street

    Dont' have it? Get it! So I picked up a copy of NFS Pro-Street yesterday and pretty much spent all night playing the game. Unfortunately the MS3 is a locked car by default (unlike in NFS Carbon) and I haven't advanced far enough yet to unlock it. Something that wasn't in the demo which is...

    MPS3 Extreme

    Where's the other post? Was hoping to hear what people thought of the re-tuned MPS3 at the Sydney Auto Show. It seems all the Mazda engineer did was recalculate the PCM to output an additional 19hp. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/10/mazda3-mps-extreme-282hp-2007-sydney.html

    Months would go by between MS3 sightings in Manhattan... but I saw 2 today near my hood. These belong to anyone on these boards? 1) Black Mica w/ yellow fog lights parked on Greene St and 8th St at around 5pm. Right next to my apartment... was so tempted to pull mine out of the garage and...

    Stock MS3 Car&Driver Test Sheet 0-60 5.4sec

    I read this article in the magazine last month. The article title is "Rating the Best Street Cars on the Track". They actually split the cars into 4 different classes for comparison so the MS3 wasn't actually ranked against the Z06 or the 911... but rather against the Solstice and Mini. You...

    Getting ready for my MS3

    The MS6 didn't sell as well as expected overall. A good indicator is the whether Mazda starts offering incentives for a vehicle to push sales. From what I remember, incentives for the MS6 were available mid-way through the 2006 model year. The MS3 didn't have any incentives for the entire...

    washed, waxed, side moldings off!!

    +1 Hot sunny day + goo gone = bye bye side moldings. I've got girl fingers so I just lifted the corner with my hands. You don't even have to pull hard... once you get the corner lifted, it's basically the same as pulling heavy duty tape off something.

    HIDs in MS3 fog lights

    Yeah... I originally just thought about replacing the bulb only hence figuring out the specs. But might as well go balls in, right?

    HIDs in MS3 fog lights

    Well I wouldn't really consider replacing the bulbs as a mod... but I love Haltech's HID kit for his fog lights. That would be a mod worth pondering.
