I just downloaded it for my iTouch and it seems very good for the $12 I paid for it.

I've heard that same story personally and from others at the Mazda dealer. I actually switch dealers for this very reason and the new dealer supports syn or syn blend only for MS3. In fact, they do a syn oil change at the same price as standard for the MS3 and MS6 ~$24. I think you have a...

Automobile Mag said they got a stock car to 163 in Germany. I've been 135 in the MS3 on track and it was very smooth and still pulling reasonably well. Longer straight and I have no doubt it will run as fast as Automobile said. If I remember the article correctly, I think they ran out of road...

There are a lot of options in 225/45 18. I bought a set of Bridgestone S03 for just over $100. I start looking for sales about a month or two before I NEED the tires and have always been able to find a cheap set of good tires. Try all the usual online spots. TR, DT, Edgeracing, etc. Bought...

So Mazda allows the MS CAI again? Where can you get one?

Stock since Oct 06 - bone stock that is. But, just about out of warranty and trying to figure out which CAI to buy?

Yea the funny part was the guy told me it was fast for a KIA. A slow KIA must actually go backwards when you floor it.

I just got new tires today = got 34,230 miles out of them. Rotated them myself several times. Drove it hard and I can't figure out how some of you are blowing through the tires so quick. I probably had a couple thousand miles left on them, but they weren't too far from the wear bar. I got a...

Mine's in getting the new fuel pump today.... I hope it finally fixes the crappy running issues...

OK, I've been searching for a good place to buy cheaper rotors and pads than the dealer. I need a new set of rotors and would be happy with the stock ones if I can find them cheap. Otherwise, I prefer slotted rotors for occasional track days and keeping the pads from glazing. I have no...

My car was built in 07 before the cut off in the TSB, but they would only redo the ECU flash and not the pump. Said if it doesn't fix it, then they'll order a pump. Gotta say the flash made a HUGE difference. Throttle response is much better - no falling on it's face before it goes now...

Yep. Counting my wife there were a few more Fords a Jetta VR6, minivans, etc. Gotta say the Pontiac was trouble. V6 Contour 5sp was one of my favorite under-appreciated cars. The way I see it the MS3 is the SVT Focus that Ford will never build!

Must be rough -being on your ninth set already.(cryhard) (drive2) After ~32k, mine are just about done, but I rotate them every 5k and drive it hard. No drop clutch starts but otherwise love taking the on ramp hard and chirping between gears occasionally.
