Officially a Mazda Owner..!!

[HmG_mS3]

Wassups people new to the forum and the mazda scene, I've always been a honda and acura enthusiast, just bought my 08 mica black ms3 w/ 44k miles and loving it.! This is my 14th car, and all the 13 other cars were either honda or acura... so i have little to no idea about the ms3 and its performance parts and etc... so hopefully this forum can help out..!!
planning to do some things to it but not really sure, i guess everyone should really start off with intake, bpv and the basic bolt-ons correct?
well will get some pictures of my car asap.!!

Welcome to the forum and a fun car! First mods are usually rear motor mount and intake. After that whatever pleases you.

Welcome!

Shifter bushings are a good and inexpensive mod too.

oh okay..!! i was thinking bout going with the cobb bpv and like the cobb intake first....!! since cobb seems so popular for this vehicle..!!

 

[b e z]

bpv is kind of pointless unless the stock bpv is leaking or you would rather have more sound. I personally would rather have one that is aftermarket just for the inner ricer in me.

Why must you keep yelling?

Get a hypertech tuner

 

[HmG_mS3]

so whats a hypertech tuner? plus the cobb bpv i've seen the vids and its sorta just like a bov i want the whistle sound..!!!

Why must you keep yelling?

LOL ... !!!!!!!!!

Hypertech tuner will allow you to change the programming on your car's computer.

oh okay..!! i think i read about that..!!

 

[meicalnissyen]

OMG !!
Great advice!!

Welcome to zoomzoom
Prepare to leave rice behind !!

The stock bpv is fine and will work quietly and effectivly
Rmm, bushings, STRUTS, sri or cai, ht or ap, will get you started.

Dont f with the electronics, take care of the paint

oh okay..!! i think i read about that..!!

Intake, Mounts, Hypertech.

 

[HmG_mS3]

yeah im planning to get all these in time.. but then again with the bpv i want the swoosh whistle sound so i dont know bout the stock one..

 

[WillD]

Do an intake first, the stock one will become much more noticeable. Then if you don't like the sound you can change the BPV.
