Greetings everyone. I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed somewhere else on the forum at some point. Here's the lowdown: Model: 2007 Speed3 Mileage: ~44,000 km Mods: Mazdaspeed factory CAI, nothing else Location: Canada Tempurature: -2 Celcius I drove the car to work...

Dealer said that the front pads needed to be replaced. So they did this and flipped the rotors as well. this seemed to solve the problem for about 1 day, and now it's back, albeit, not quite as bad as before. I'm pretty sure that it is just the pads moving back and forth a little, but what...

Yeah, I thought that it might have something to do with the e-brake, but I can make the clunk/sound happen by performing steps 1 & 2 regardless if my car has been parked with the e-brake on. Could that still possibly be something to do with the e-brake?

It's been quite a while since I've posted on the forum, so please excuse me if this topic has already been discussed. Over the last few months I have noticed my (rear?) brakes making a small clunking noise. FYI, 2007 Speed 3, all stock with approx 35,000 km's The noise will always occur when...

Yep, I thought that I was imagining things when I first heard the spring squeak the other day. it has been -10 celcius for the last few days in Lethbridge, and I have definitely noticed that going over any larg'ish bumps when the car is cold will make a bit of a sqeak. On another note....is...

My MS3 lives with me up here in the north (Alberta, Canada). I've noticed recently that on cold days -5 degrees celsius or lower (when the car has been sitting over night or all day) before the engine warms up, shifting into 2nd (no other gears are a problem) grear makes a litlle grind sound...

Ive noticed that when I request bad ass power from my MS3, sometimes my turbo kicks in a bit harder than others. I dont think that there is a problem with my engine or ECU, but rather, it might be a function of what RPMs Im driving at when I start to accelerate, how fast Im already going, what...

The exact same thing happens to me.....I have already posted about it a week ago or so. There must be a problem with a bunch of the audio consoles in the MS3's. I think that I'll eventually warrantee it if the problem pisses me off enough.

I'll probably bee throwing on some aftermarket rims on my MS3 soon, and just wanted to know if there are any issues with the tire pressure sensor (I'm assuming it won't work, but I don't want it to be going off all the time or somethng like that).....or anything else for that matter that I...

I didn't have the scraping noise, but I did have a humming noise, and yes, only when I was turning right (over about 20km/h....with a passenger in the front right seat). I've had quite a bit of experiene with disc brakes (actually as a mountain bike mechanic), and I'm almost certain that this...

Here's the issue with the CD player in my Speed3: It seems now that every 1 out of 5 times I start my car the the audio system will not recognize my CD player. Everything else works fine...I can cycle through all of the other options (i.e. AM/FM, AUX) but it will not let me cycle to the CD...

Just Picked up my Speed3 a few weeks ago, and I'm wondering if this is something that I just didn't notice before, or if something is wack with my security indicator light: Is it normal for the Security Indicator Light to flash every couple of seconds when the key is taken out of the ignition...

So I don't have to worry about waiting to break-in the engine before I can start to push it hard?

Hey Guys, I just picked up my new MS3 last week and I've got a few questions I was hoping that some of you could answer about engine break-in. I'm not a car pro by any means, so please don't laugh at me if these questions seem stupid. Just for reference, the car only has about 200 miles on...
