woooweee...time to reflash our PCMs? oO

 

[FLAMSP]

Style!

Too bad it's probably only available in red. Those wheels look pretty good for stock.

 

[SwampAss]

the secret to the power is a 2 inch exhaust! s***!! I went the wrong way.

 

[redspeed]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!....NO, NO and NO. Why the HELL Mazda NA can't do that over here! (gun)

 

[redspeed]

Wait... Didn't noticed the roof and the rear spoiler are black. Nice!

 

[VermZ06]

Looks pretty good except for the interior. Why not just make the bolsters red? Don't get me wrong I like the color red, but that is way too overboard on the seats, dash and steering wheel. And why a two inch exhaust? That seems like a step backwards...more backpressure??

WTF?! so unfair....

 

[Adammazda06]

i want one! i wonder how much import charges would be on that?

 

[SwampAss]

Buy US-spec MS3

Install CPE standback/Xede

done.

how much more american dollars does this cost, its prolly not worth it. can get more power for less that the extreme package probably costs, i like the interior and the black stripes on the hood.

True, but it's not just power...this has a special suspension setup from some tuner and those trick 19" wheels as well. There are other little touches too, check the wheel arches...there is a black lip around them. Overall it is quite a special car. I agree about the interior...love the seats. I think they could do a tuner special like this here, but they would have to offer it in at least 2 different colors...maybe white to go along with the red. I bet you are right about the cost, though...it is probably very high.

As for the exhaust...does our stock MS3 have larger than a 2" exhaust?

I love the black accents on the exterior. Its the best looking "stripes" Ive seen. Its got me thinking.

On Black Mica, would you go white, silver, red, or yellow. Yellow is too noticeable I think. And Id skip the roof. Maybe grey/ silver to match my rims.

Am I losing my mind?

Performance wise, Just the Xede would probably make the power. The rims on the other hand... $$$

 

[BluMicaR]

What IS up with the 2" exhaust? Isn't less restriction /always/ better? Someone science this up for me, Rotus??

 

[SwampAss]

Me thinks it's a typo.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be nice if we could just buy the flash and keep our warranties?

 

[tsunami]

2" has got to be a typo... probably either 2.5 or 3... and that pain scheme is pretty cool with the hood... would be a cool way to pain a cf hood to show some cf but not be over the top with a red car and a black hood... and those wheels in motion = sex with the red center caps... has a nice look to it!! nicely done mazda aus... now how about mazda NA????

 

[clos561]

its probably 3inch, isnt our stock exhaust 2.5 inch? with a 3 inch tail pipe...

edit -

By the way i think those black accents on the wheel well look gay as ****
