I just picked up a set of 18x8 RX-8 wheels(52.5mm offset). I don't plan on lowering the car, so I'm debating whether to go with 225/45-18 or 215/45-18. The 225s would fit the 8" rims better, but I don't want any rubbing/fender rolling issues. Thanks for any and all help!

I know this was discussed in a couple of other threads, but I need some suggestions for a good shop(or shops) to use for installing a set of front struts and -possibly- rear shocks. I value competence and quality over a low price. Thanks for any and all advice!!!

It's the subject of the "Future Collectibles" column. It's a pretty decent summary of the MS3's history, but the article does neglect to mention that the available paint colors changed with the intro of the '08.5 models. The bottom line is that the writers believe that the MS3 may very well...

There's a practically new(750 mile) set on eBay for $535 including shipping and lug nuts- no TPMS. Is that about the going rate for stock wheels? Thanks!

I'm looking at the following wheel/tire package for summer/track day use; my MS3 has stock springs: Enkei RPF1 18x7.5 Offset: +48mm Backspacing: 6.10" Dunlop Direzza Star Specs 225/45ZR18 Comments? Thanks in advance!

Last week I had my Mazda dealer change the transaxle oil at the 30,000 mile service. Since then the shift action is very stiff at low ambient temperatures until the transaxle has warmed up. I can live with that, but I'm also getting a moderately loud low-pitched whining sound when making tight...

I just received my January issue, which contained a seven-car comparison test entitled, "Dirty Speed, Done Dirt Cheap". Here are the results: 1. Mazdaspeed 3 Grand Touring 2. GTI 3. Cobalt SS 4. WRX 5. Civic Si 6. Mini JCW Clubman 7. Lancer Ralliart The fastest 1/4 mile was posted by the...

As you almost certainly know, there are quite a few stories circulating on several Mazda forums involving owners who have lost new car warranty coverage due in part to posts(concerning mods, 1/4 mile times, etc.) made on forums such as this one. I would like to know what action 247 is taking-if...

Based on what I read on the other board-and confirmed by at least one Mazdaspeed dealer-Mazda issued a bulletin on 3/14/08 instructing dealers to stop selling the MS3 CAI until further notice and that more information would be forthcoming. Has anyone heard of anything similar? I just ordered...

I live just south of Louisville but I bought my MS3 from Kings in Cincinnati. As luck would have it, the MS3 just threw a CEL at @2000 miles. I'm having a friend read the code tonight, and I may not be able to take it back to Kings anytime soon, so... What Louisville dealer -if any- would you...
