I bought a MS3 about a month ago and im loving the car. I was just wondering what would be some good additions to the car i have a cold air intake, was thinking of getting a lower intercooler in a few months any suggestions on this?

Good BPV first and put on a downpipe before you buy and expensive intercooler. You may find this satisfying enough. Downpipe should be the first serious mod on any production turbo car.

TWM has some pretty sweet engraved shift knobs and will ussually five you a 10% off coupon if you ask.

A new OEM knob will run you close to $200, so I'd either go with aftermarket or a used OEM. Those can be had for about $40-$50 on forums or eBay.

All kinds of stuff you can do to this car but remember one very important thing. If you have warranty work that has to be done it must all come off before you go to the dealer. Also if you do your own oil changes keep all paper work or you are also ****** period.

Enjoy the car do what you want but be smart and dont trust any dealer otherwise they will give you more then a little zoom zoom.

OMG my shift knob was scratched ever since I bought it new. I've let my parents drive the car but they claim it wasn't them. Its a fault at the mazda factory! I'm convinced! I want a new one please! lol.

Mine was scratched ever since it left the dealer (I think) I should have demanded a new one, but I was just so happy with the car that I didn't care.

First off pull those door moldings. Then.... CAI, BPV, MM, Short shifter w/bushings, TIP and tint. Not necesarily in that order but you get the jist. Enjoy!! I almost got the cosmic blue but went silver instead (all my cars in the last 6 years have been silver except one).
