    What Should Be Next?

    Hey Stephen just a quick question...how well did the car run with all the mods and no tuning? Reason I ask is cuz I found a great deal on a turbo back exhaust but still have to wait a little bit on getting the AP...just wanna know how safe it is to run those mods with a stock tune for a short...

    2011 speed3, will 245/40/18 tires fit on stock?

    The only Continentals I've run on my 3 are a set of Grand-Am race tires...I run those for trips to the mountains and the track. I don't have much info on their street tires though...except I think the Generals I run are made by Continental.

    2011 speed3, will 245/40/18 tires fit on stock?

    I'm running 275/35s on 18x9s with a 45 offset. Minor rubbing only on full steering input to the left. And a slight rub issue on passenger rear fender liner...my fix was to remove the affected fender liners. On stock suspension. :)

    Best Ultra High Perfomance Summer Tire

    I'm installing some 275-35-18 General G-Max AS-03's UHP all seasons today...they got awesome reviews from Import Tuner, Modified, and a few other notable sources. Look up their info if it's something you might be interested in.

    New to MS3, question about Idle.

    It actually sounds like the AC compressor kicking on and off, like it supposed to. It's done it in every car I've ever owned. Very normal...like the said before the idle adjustment solenoid is raising the engine rpm to handle the.extra.load from the AC.compressor.

    CORKSPORT Stage II Power Series Short Ram Intake--Void factory Warranty

    Every dealership is different. Mine loves the fact that I mod my Mazdas. I've never had a problem with them doing warranty work.

    Black dots

    You'll never get rid of them...its unburt fuel and oil since this car runs a little rich. Every time you get on the throttle its gonna happen.

    offset question

    18x10's would be awesome, ran them on my 8 for a little while, I'm getting ready to throw on some 18x9's w/ 45 offset. Now I'm trying to figure out what size tires would fit without any rubbing??? Any suggestions? I was thinking 245/40's...

    Vibration with 50% tread left

    I liked mine in the summer but never on track. I could only manage 20k on mine... :( I've tried many tire combinations on my 8, my favorite so far has been Nitto INVOs...I think I may end up going with the same for the MS3 but I'm still reading up on the reviews from other owners.

    Vibration with 50% tread left

    I'm not saying its the performance aspect of the tire I'm saying its the Potenzas that are on there. Those tires are pure junk. The same tires came on both of my 8's and around 15000 miles is when the vibrations started. Amazingly once I put on new and in my opinion, better tires, the vibrations...
