New MS3 owner

[smoknspeed3]

Well I'm a big fan of forum type sites. I spent years on similar sites for my Focus... Well the focus I use to have until i traded it in for my new MS3 today. First I have a few questions.

1. What are the best sites to by mods for the MS3.

2. Where can I get the build number for my car? I'm guessing it's like the SVT Focus.

I am seriously!!! Impressed with the performance of this car. Plan on seeing me around more often, anyone who has any advice please don't hesitate to pass it to me. Thanks!

welcome to the mazda family!

There are tons of sites out there for mods, protegegarage.com is a good start. Corksport.com is also a good mazda website. Check out some of our vendors on here as well.

Sweet SVT that's a great car alot of fun. LSD and a Ford Supercharger make the car amazing.

But now you have the MS3 which is even better! Nice car, welcome to the forum.

I would really like to get my hands on a BOV. Only I know hardly anything about FI. What gains does a BOV produce? Other then the real cool sound. LOL

Whats the difference between BPV and BOV?

Actually it's just the basic ZX3 with TONS of mods done to it. LOL

Nice looking focus. Those wheels look burl as hell! Hope you saved them for the ms3 I would love to see them put on that car.

I traded in my Focus also. If Ford had brought the British version to the states, I would not be on this wonderful forum today. Lots of great info here!!

Welcome aboard.

Nice focus, I still have my 00 ZX3 in the same color. No where near as nice as that one though. What was your SN on the Jet?

[smoknspeed3]

Cool I run a few searches. Thanks.

SmoknZX3 was my screen name, I didn't really post much at all on FJ, mostly on FF and FocusMotorsports.com If you have time cruse over to Focusmotorsports.com. Best Focus site IMO.

I'll check it out next time something breaks on it, lol. Those sites are my repair manuals, lol

I pretty much took the car apart from the ground up. LOL If you have any questions feel free to ask.

[CTGrey02]

Thanks Bro, I've been picking Demonfire's brain everytime something goes amiss on mine. Dude's still got his old 01/02 ZX3 that he's been parting out, so I've been using what evers left on that to keep mine running, lol. He knows his shit on these.

Don't know even close to as much as Demonfire. LOL Haven't seen him in a while, he use to post on Focusmotorsports.com. Tell him whats up, next time you chat.

hey bud, I'm new here too. Sounds like you've got alot to learn about FI and turbo's!!!(drinks) there's a tech section here where you can pick up alot of good basic info. I also recommend reading the book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. That will give you a good foundation. I knew nothing about turbo's 3 years ago when I bought my 1.8T (t for turbo) Audi A4. I was able to mod that thing to the hilt with the help of some friends and reading online.

a BOV won't get you any real HP gains but it might help with quicker boost response. the difference between the BPV and BOV is that the BOV vents extra air between shifts into the atmosphere while the BPV vents it back into the system so the ecu doesn't miss that "metered air" and cause your car to run rich.
