I am going to pick up a speed 3 sport in a few days and have heard that they really benefit from an intake...my out the door is 24087 so as I see it I've got about a grand to spend on parts if they are covered by the warranty.
If you were me what would you get put on before you pick up the car and why?

I would buy it now and install it myself.I would not pay them $100+ to install if.Also if there price is to high you can get a mazdaspeed CAI shipped from other places.You dont have to have them install it for it to be coverd under the factory warranty,lYou can install it yourself and still be fine.

Did you get a lot of accessories/options or something with your ms3 sport? 24k is a lot for a sport!

Definately get some kind of intake, one of the best mods you can do to add some more power while being reasonably cheap.

24 is the out the door price in Va for retail...
Tried to get a better price but I've been looking for two months, in three different states and this is the only one that has the car and color that I want without a mark up or more then 5 miles on the car.
They did say they'd cut a deal on accessories and sell them below retail to me but I havn't taken delivery yet so I'm not sure what price they are talking about.

Where in VA? If in southern, central VA, I can help you install the intake if you dont want to attempt it yourself.

It's quite simple, and well worth the effort!

23,800 was my OTD price in Va on a sport. That was with NO add ons back in Dec.
