    I F!@#ing Hate Insurance Companies

    I switched from GEICO for exactly the same reason, no tickets-just added a new car and moved to California (even though its illegal to charge someone based soley on their zipcode of residence). I shopped around and found another independent carrier that doesn't have "cute" commercials. I...

    CAI uninstall

    Just for the record, I DID do research prior to purchasing the CAI. This forum, along with testimony from the service department at Tustin Mazda, were the primary resources I used to make that decision. I also checked out video footage on Youtube. Given the limited availability of the MS3, let...

    CAI uninstall

    So, I just got my MS3 back with my CAI uninstalled and the stock intake reinstalled. It sounds so much more "natural" and I couldn't be happier. After driving my car around, I really do appreciate the car sounds "as is", and that "fun factor" is back again. :cool:

    MazdaSpeed CAI noise reduction

    I've had my MS3 CAI installed for about 6 weeks now, and although I appreciate the power gains since its installation, the sound it makes from inside the cabin is driving me up the wall. Without sounding like a chick, I wouldn't mind it sounding so loud if it didn't sound so cheap! Is there...

    MS3 vs MX-5 Observation

    So, I was bored last night and decided to satisfy my curiosity regarding the new retractable hardtop Miata's I've seen advertised. I cruised by a Mazda dealership here in So Cal and talked a salesman into letting me take a brand new 2008 red PRHT for a spin. It was a "mild" experience...

    MS3 Sunroof

    Sunroof Getting some great feedback and input from the Forum members here...I'm really leaning towards the install, in CA a sunroof is well utilized given the year-round awesome weather conditions. Why is a sunroof offered in the regular 3GT and not the Speed? Is there any structural difference...

    MS3 Sunroof

    So, I love my new MS3...and want for nothing (now I have my CAI installed) except for the one amenity I know many users also crave...and that's a sunroof. I've done some research and have gotten mixed feedback on installing an aftermarket sunroof. Both places quoted me the same price (around...
