I know someone here has done this.. Can you tell me what is involved? I did the CAI myself last year, and would be interested in changing it over to SRI, but am not going to do it if I have to have the piping cut, or anything. I'm just not sure how you'd go about doing this.. Seems to me it's...

I saw you yesterday morning at Town Fair Tire. I was dropping some ill-fitting shoes off at the UPS store; I know you saw me.. I was going to say hello, but then figured you might not know who I am, or something. Your car looks great, by the way..

It must have been about 10 AM or so. I was in my silver MS3, passed you going up the hill from New Haven into Woodbridge. I did not take off too quick, but then the road ahead opened up so I went for it. 130 this time before I had to start slowing down, nice straight section of the road. Of...

Is it a downpipe & midpipe sold together? I would't think it overpriced if so. I am considering this downpipe & exhaust combo (and have been for a while) and will actually do something about it in the spring. So anyone who's got info or has the full CP-E exhaust, I'm asking you.. Spring seems...

Someone else must be a Ween fan here..

Probably ATX, as my wife doesn't really care for standard - though she is very smooth, she ends up driving the MS3 way too fast.. Color doesn't really matter, but she won't be happy with White, Red, or Yellow; I would, however. Basically, the MS3 is going to be garaged for the winter, and she...

Someday I'll learn (& remember for more than a week) basic HTML; for now you have to click on the thumbnail, innit.. Forge BPV, Mazdaspeed CAI.. Go ahead and tell me the engine bay needs cleaning. Wanna clean it for me?? I'm sure I'll get around to it in December when I garage the speedy car...

I just want to get rid of the big M on the front. $300 or so for the part, plus the cost of having it painted & installed doesn't seem too bad.. Or are the AutoEXE products simply overpriced? Do you guys think there will be another company's offering coming around any time soon? If so then I...

My mechanic says this, and has me drive the car into & out of his garage. He also says it has too much torque and that he'll just trust me to drive it. My wife says it's touchy, and she peels out every time she drives. Heh. I say it's very responsive - you can feel everything the car does, and...

Black, looked like it was picked up yesterday. The tires were still shiny, etc. Parked behind Bonani, Layla's & Ole Mole in Fairfield, CT. And yes, I wrote down mazdas247.com on a piece of paper and gently put it under the car's driver side wiper.

I know those Rays wheels would be worth it. A tad pricy, but whatever.. Now, what about those RX-8 wheels such as that guy Maestro has? I'm wondering what those things would set me back; in my opinion those are the nicest I've seen on the MS3..

Now $1800 per year down from almost $2500. Still more than I paid before this car, BUT - all my older cars were insured in a different town and were used when I got them. So maybe I can use that "saved" money for more mods! To date, it's TWM shifter base bushings, 70 duro AWR rear engine mount...

I do not trust the dealer to do their job, so I want to check it myself.. If this involves removing the battery tray, how do I get those PCM connectors off? I wanted to give the battery tray a good cleaning when I was prettying up the engine bay last week, but I couldn't get those connectors...

I remember reading an article that said 1/2 full as low as you want to get before refueling - for optimum fuel pump life. In practice, I'm not that good, but I do keep it 1/4 full or more.

I haven't got a jack, and the cheapest one I found that will get under the MS3 was $120.. I've already got ramps, and likely all the tools I need. I have not read through the instructions yet, as a time to do the work has not yet come up, but I have some days off coming up soon..

Anyone else have this problem? My shifting is all out of whack; there's no rhythm there, as there ought to be. Also I'm driving too fast and don't notice it. I've been staying off the road, but had to come into work and fix a computer today, so I noticed how s**** my driving is at the moment...

They replaced the part (solenoid purge valve) right away, no charge. Then I get a call, saying that the dealer where I bought the car (they closed down) never filed my warranty! So can we get a copy of your bill of sale? F*ckin' guys.. Anyway.. I would actually recommend Partyka Mazda for...

OK, so I've got myself an Axela badge for the MS3, and when it (the outside air and that) warms up a little more, I'm planning to remove the mazdaspeed 3 badges, and replace them with the Axela badge. Or I might remove the 3, keep the mazdaspeed badge, and put the Axela on the right side...

I think I met the guy there about a year ago, but damn.. His car is covered in custom graphics - for example, the HUGE R.P.M. on the side.. I dunno.. I guess all that is just not my taste. But I've seen that car there a lot, so I guess he hangs out at stereo shops? Anyhow, what can you do anyway?

Hmm.. Must have been over a week ago now, as I've been sick and therefore at home, not, er, wasting work time on the mazda forums.. I was heading North (in the silver MS3), I'd say around the North Haven - Wallingford area, you were heading South.. I think that's someone from here, anyway.. So...
