    burning oil....no smoke?

    Ok, I have just discovered an interesting issue with my MS3. It has never burned oil before, and it has only smoked on startup once. I just checked my dipstick about a week and a half ago and I was about 1/2 quart low. Seemed like no biggie so I just topped it off. However I just checked it...

    CDFP upgrade 1 week later

    I just did this install as well. Nice and easy, car runs smoothly too. Only thing is I threw 2 CELs after I started the car. The one was for fuel rail input voltage too high, and the other one I don't even know what it was. I reset them and they havent come back since.

    question on thicker oil.

    Here is my question. I am installing a down pipe soon so I am going to try to prevent the smoking issue before it starts. I already have a catch can installed so next I am going to switch to a heavier weight oil. Now I see a lot of people suggesting a 5w-40 oil. Unfortunately I have been to...

    finally got fuel cut

    Thank you guys, those were exactly the posts I was looking for. I realize that the fuel pump may not fix it, but I would like to have it before I go stage 2 anyway before I put my downpipe on so don't worry it's not wasted money. As for the link to the new firmware, thank you I appreciate it...

    Fuel cut or boost cut????

    Just to go back to the topic of the difference between boost cut and fuel cut, I really would like to know a few things. Why would mazda program 2 different kinds of cut into the ECU? I would think judging on when cars appear to be cutting that either one or the other would suffice as they...

    finally got fuel cut

    Well what might the other reason for cut be? I am running the exact mods that COBB says to run, and the correct fuel. I am not getting boost spikes or boost creep. Everything pulls perfect with no stutter, and all of a sudden it was like someone slammed on my brake pedal. I have done...

    rota torques 18x8 48 offset

    Hey guys I am looking to buy a set of rota torques 18x8 with 48 offset. I'd really like to use a 235 40 18 tire on these rims, but even after looking through many posts of all different tire and wheel setups I still am not willing to just buy them and hope they will fit. Does anyone have a bit...

    Fuel pump issues?

    Hey people I have a question about fuel pump rebuild kits. I was recently browsing around certain websites and I have come across information (please tell me if this is old news) that some people are installing the fuel pump internals and are getting less fuel pressure even though they are...
