Just what is sounds like. He removed the balance shaft from the motor.

That should help explain what they do.
lol BSD + 5hp so its 268 now!!! lol
He was probably pretty heavily modded (thus the BSD) and is now back to stock but didnt **** with the Balance shaft.
yeah i wouldnt look at it if your looking to retain a warranty. mazda wont warranty that car.
Yea and I guess I am looking for one with a warranty so no go on that one. Awful tempting by that price though
The price would scare me away. Why so low?
If you are a member on the "other" forums, there is an 08 with 14k on it listed at 15800. It has wheels and springs but otherwise is stock, looks gorgeous in pics. It's red and on the East coast though.
Damn that perfect although I cant see my parents being to thrilled with a cross country plane ticket
For the money your looking to drop on a car, you can get into a nice used GTO or Crossfire SRT6. lol.
To each his own, but as I look back on it. I wish i started with a more capable(RWD) platform. Although, I love my MS3
More capable of what? You need to realize that not everyone out there is looking to mod the piss out of their car to make a bazillion HP.
Boy are you guys missing the point of the BSD mod !! Its not about the small power increase. It fact on many cars that the BS can actually cause premature engine failure. It is driven off o a gear that is heat fused to the crankshaft. It literally about 20 pounds. It puts a s*** ton of stress on the crank bearings. Here is a fact for you. EVERY ms 3/6 that has blown an engine still had the BS in the motor. NOT A SINGLE ONE with the BSD mod has blown. You be the judge. My car = no BS !!
