Doesn't matter if it's a MS3, a WRX or an 18 wheeler if the vehicle doesn't have snow tires. A MS3 with snow tires will run circles around a WRX with summer tires in the winter. Surely you had snow tires for the MS3 and will be making a similar investment for the WRX?

They are not 3d moulded flaps, just flat pieces. Why anyone with a Mazda3 or MS3 would need these massive flaps is puzzling as it's not a rally car. Why someone would spend $40+ on flat pieces of urethane shows that some folks are insecure enough to validate their worth by needing or wanting...

Not true. A boxer 4 can have a true dual exhaust but there are few of those around. What you meant to say was that an inline 4 can't have a true dual exhaust. Regardless, a ricer has no clue that an inline 4 can't have a true dual exhaust.

Does the OP realise that putting the 2010 exhaust on the 2009 will do nothing for performance and would only be for looks?? You do realise that the 2010 system is not a true dual exhaust?

Smart observation! It's funny to see a pile of SUV's and Subaru's in the ditch or flipped over since the vast majority of the drivers in those cars 'thought' they had superior traction and were safer. The only thing touching the road is that small contact patch of rubber, and if it's all...

Too many people are sucked into the 'must have AWD' syndrome to bother pointing this out. Why do you think Lexus makes the IS250AWD, Infiniti with the G35x, the BMW 335x, etc. The list goes on and on and car mfgs have done an incredible sales pitch having consumers believe that AWD is 'safer'...

No leather available for the Canadian MS3's (regardless of year) and the factory isn't going to do a special order for a buyer who wants leather either. The dealer will farm the car out when it arrives on the lot to a local leather shop. No heated seats or headlight washers on the Canadian...

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting the outcome to be different. Sounds like your parents can't afford the MS3 but if they can't afford that, how can they afford a S4 or WRX?

Good idea and added above.

I did a 440 mile round trip cruise yesterday. Started at sea level with two peak elevations of 4,600ft and 4,400ft. The elevation at the midpoint of the trip was 2,800ft. My fuel economy on the way there was 28.8mpg and 33.4mpg on the way back. Average speed on the way there was 76mph and 63...

Freshly washed.....

The problem with making this a sticky is that all the ricers (M3 owners) will now know where to properly place their bought MS3 sitcker/emblem.

I've got mud flaps on my MS3, total cost, not including my time, was $10. I'll see if I have any pics but they are not nearly as fancy as those rip-off Rally Armor flaps.... just generic flaps available at Autozone or Pep-boys. They are smaller than the RA flaps which is good since I don't...

Some people think spending $50 is good enough for what they want. Others think spending $400 is best for what they want. If you have only ever had ground beef (and spent $5 for it) then the thought of buying a T-bone steak (for $20) would be a rip off. Both are meat, both fill you up but why...

You sound really young.... are you 17? You bought a car because you wanted people to think you are cool? Do you have an iphone or itouch too? All this talk about 'launching like a bat out of hell' with AWD? How often will you need to (not 'want to' but 'need to') launch like like a bat out...

Have you checked out bcmazda3dotcom? It's where the local action is.

This is starting to smell a little 'ricey'... looking for something to fill a void with the sole purpose of making it look 'better'.

Any chance you'll be taking a driving course as well?

Since your post focusses only appearance, you could save a lot of money and have a very similar car now by buying a Mazda 3. Saves waiting until the MS3's are out, don't need to save as much money and it will be cheaper to own (lower insurance costs). There are some pretty nice lip kits for...

I installed the MS CAI v2 last month and haven't had any issues with CEL's. The butt dyno says it pulls stronger and the sound takes a little getting used to. I'm happy with it.
