The "I Still Have a Stock Mazdaspeed3 (or very close to it)" Thread

[79_Limited]

Still stock.

 

[TX Turbo]

Bought mine Friday - stock except cargo net. Lessons learned from my 2004 Mz3 (which, by the way is still one HELL of a car!) - it's too easy to throw things around in the back.

2008 Cosmic Blue Mica GT

"Mostly stock here". CAI is all I will ever do to the motor. The rest are mods to my driving skills.

 

[GhostMercury]

No intention of modding it. Been there done that, no point for me doing it with a FWD.

totally agree, after the whole modding the MSP thing im done modding my street car. i will stick with mazdaspeed stuff, and even at that i might only get the intake. so STOCK FOR NOW

Still stock . . .

People on this forum are funny.

On one hand, a poster will have a "brag list" of mods that includes tint, HID Conversion and Subwoofers (cha-ching!), then in this post claim that they are stock?

So what actually qualifies as as stock and what constitutes a "mod".
I added a Belkin iPod adapter and a custom flat black painted EZPass transponder. Or are these not mods because they aren't performance oriented?

Okay then, how 'bout a >$100 swap out of all fluids to Redline brand?
Or does that not count because it's a consumable?

Hmmm...
Then there was my exhaust mod this weekend that I performed by backing into a curb that was higher than I thought


I guess it's okay as long as we never get as bad as the Honda guys with their 100hp Type R sticker mods.
Nobody here has a Type R sticker, right?

Stock since November 07

No wait, got some lamin-x overlays

I know what you mean by all of that. Hell, I should probably update this because I now have the MSCAI so I am not really "stock" anymore. But, like you were saying, what is "stock" anyways. The CAI is a Mazdaspeed part and the car is a mazdaspeed car so if I got the car without it and installed it, is it "stock" or not?

Good of you to bring that up.

 

[Sho-Ryu-Ken!]

add me to the "stock" list.... can't really make any modifications to my car since i'm across the planet from it....

 

[CBMrocket]

Bone Stock, 98 miles on it.

No clue what mods I want to do yet. I was thinking about an MS CAI and SU MM first.

I'm kinda in the same boat. Bought the car right before moving across the country so that I could trade my old POS in on it. It's in transit being shipped here and I'm going insane waiting for it to get here.

 

[mordant80]

Just picked up my new black MS3 sport 3-21-08. So still bone stock. I'm thinking the only mods i'll be doing are the Cobb intake, springs, sway bars and the access port when it's available.

 

[bbychvz]

I am glad to say...please remove my name from the list(sleep)
muawahahahaha!!!

 

[BlackJack]

Mine is almost stock...Just the MS CAI and gauges.

 

[trufanatic]

CAI, dont plan to do much more as of right now.

If no tuning solution for us is presented by the end of summer, im selling the car.

 

[zim]

mine is completely stock except for the shaved 3 next to the mazdaspeed on the hatch and I deleted the side moldings. I plan on getting a COBB intake as soon as possible however.

 

[daonly1around]

stock until people with more money than me show me what makes it blow and what makes it go...

Since the MS3 is essentially a hot hatch, I would think the OP meant performance oriented mods - meaning any mods that enhance acceleration, braking, cornering, as well as high speed stability of the vehicle. That would rule out your iPod adapter. *^_^*

 

[Zeya]

Hello, my name is Zeya, and I've been stock for five months. *clapping!* Yesterday... *sniff*... yesterday I had such an urge to put in a tricked-out downpipe. But I called up my mechanic and he calmed me down.

(That's me doing a parody on AA. Seriously though, I'm stock for now.)
