Can I just say lesson learned. But Oh wait till that Lexus meats up with the Speed the next time. I'll have the last laugh cause I'm buying a Lexus (yupnope)

Jokin Jokin just jokes.
Hell I work with the guy over at SU and someway some how the Speeds will live to play again. I will rebuild it stronger, because the dealer is asking me to bring the stock parts back to the dealership if they do the work on my dime.

You guys tell me what you would do:
Rebuild Quote from the Dealer=

1) ENGINE- L3M6-02-300E = $6045.22
2)INTAKE GASKET- L3K9-13-111 x 1 = $16.23
3)Exhaust Gasket- L3K9-13-460 x 1 =$38.81
4)Turbo Gasket....$46.21
5)blah blah blah
total $8499.61 If I were to spent that kind of money Why wouldn't I go for the top shelve

ouch!
 
I know that dealerships can run diagnostics on the Civic Si's ECU's to determine whether or not the engine has been over revved. Do the Mazda dealerships do the same?

Edit: Agreed with post below

go to a subaru forum and its riddled with people saying how much they love the car or how awesome the boxer engine is.(moon)

Seriously........why are you on this forum? Nobody that owns a Mazda and is having problems wants to know how wonderful your STI is. I'm not trying to be a jerkoff, but seriously show some tact.
No car is without its share of problems. It is the law of manufactured goods: there will be bad apples in every bunch. And I agree that most of the blown engine stories are on cars that are pretty aggressively modded, not just intake and BPV.

Yea man your presence here is just bizarre.

not really bizarre if you ask me. based on his posts that he has made, he is here for one reason. to start s***. his story about having a brother or something with an ms3 is just his excuse to come on here and talk about how superior his car is. i am not saying he right or wrong but i am saying that its complete crap that he comes here for the sole purpose of talking s*** about the ms3.
 
his signature is annoying enough as it is. an insult to mazdas and a link to his subaru. it's not like he even remotely belongs here. (wrong)(getout)(asshole)

wow your wrong, cant believe you pulled that card. I like to stir the pot every now and again. Funny thing is on the other forum I belong to I always defend the speed3. I really do like the car, its just fun to get reactions from people. Angry people say some of the craziest things. my sid is really supposed to be british cars instead of mazdas

I just looked at that thread, I hope you guys understand that I not trying to point the finger at no other company other than Mazda USA for the BS they have put us all thru, and Myself for speaking about the price/pain it cost to play in the asphalt playground. I was running the COBB Beta map but damn me for not running data log every time I drove the car. It’s a functionality that a group of us most have asked for and I wasn't using it (uhm)(uhm)
But The dealership just is having their way with me right now. (wedge)

But Bigups to the members that have given me Help/Assistance for free when the place I've given me money too just turned me away oh and gave me the professional **** You I mean warranty speech. The bottom line I think will be WELL WORST THE HEADACHE when I'm finish.... If my wife doesn’t put me out.(gtfo) Hell I guess I could sleep in the car.

No, but The guys at SU are willing to help so Hats Off to them.

To be continued.......:D(rlaugh)
 
I think you should've just towed the car back home and took off your mods. That's always the safest thing to do with dealerships. Good luck though.
 
Interesting reading these posts. I too have just had my engine replaced in my Speed6, covered under warranty at 33k miles. I have never had any mods done, and do not "hammer" on the car much at all. I'm like most of you that when some douche thinks his Lexus or POS Civic Si is something special, I'll leave them in the rear view. I also went through troubles with the home office in trying to get the repair done. The dealer agreed that the engine was messed, but home office didn't want to pay. I saw my bill as well, and the estimates are right. My car was there for 48 days while they sent 3 technicians out to try and find "something" that would make them not have to replace the motor. My bill was over $15k!!! Looking back, and all the issues I have had completely stock, they would have been better off to buy the car back. Best of luck dealing with the home office, but it is your dealer that should be backing you 100%. Most of the guys know that the intake should not give a reason to void the warranty. However, my dealer rep has stated that they have not honored a few repairs due to the fact of mods on the cars. Again, they do have corporate lawyers, but if you push enough, I'm sure they wont want to take it that far. Keep us posted on what you hear.

that is the most rediculous crap i have ever heard. so what? do you have any point. i surely hope your point is not that the wrx's and sti'd dont have problems. If it is, then you my friend are the biggest subie fanboy flamer on here. once again, see this thread here that is just one example of your precious subie perfection theory going into the shitter. ill find 30 more crappy wrx threads too.

here is the deal dude. i personally like the wrx and the sti. i think they are great cars. but they are not without their own inherent problems. i also like the whole rivalry between the two. what i dont like seeing is someone like yourself coming on these ms3 forums and stirring up s*** for the sake of stirring up s***. hopefully an admin will ban your subie loving arse. (getout)

blown wrx motor

oh my goodness the all mighty sti squeaks too?!?! i thought the ms3 was the only crappy new car that made noises

talk about a plethra of different problems here

this took me 3 minutes to find these. my point is dont talk s*** about a car just because you have some warped impression that your car is problem free. if you cant do that and contribute something positive, stay off the MS3 forums. i stay out of yours

Its fun to watch knuckleheads like you get all upset. Just stating the impression I get from being on this forum. Seems like alot of people are having problems, and they dont handle mods very well without going pop(fuoops) Il lay off for a little while, dont want you to get your thong all in a twist.
