+1 ...have had my MS CAI since break-in, no CELS or MAF sensor issues, runs like it came that way from the factory, heavy rain in GA has not been a problem either tho' I did install an Injen hydroshield along w/ the MS CAI, more for piece of mind than anything else...

Def. no need to remove the bumper... though it is a small PITA to get to the one blind bolt securing the 'airflow diverter' in the top of the wheel well... just takes a long reach and a bit of patience as you can only turn the thing a few degrees at a time with any wrench that will fit... after...

Don't forget the hidden costs as well... most lease agreements include a "lease termination fee" which is due at lease-end (check the fine print on the back of the form you signed) and can add several hundred dollars more to the total lease cost basis... Leases used to be good for those who...

Ummm, he sure wasn't lying about his sister....

Ha! I love the 'Save My Information' Link too! No doubt it will prompt you to re-enter your info into thier bogus site! Another off-shore scam to be on the lookout for! It's why I only use 'temporary' card numbers on the web... each one funded with the exact amount needed for that purchase...

unfortunately, your solution is for the opposite problem... his knob like the one shown above can't screw down far enough before hitting the top of the leather boot ring. raising the height of the boot ring wil only make it hit sooner and be less tight on the threaded shaft. I used a small...

Not much to add that isnt clear in the pics... a lot has been said, both good and bad, about the TWM STS shifter's throw and height... not too many pics have been posted to actually see the thing in action... and I couldn't find any pics of the mazdaspeed RX-8 knob installed as well, so... hope...

TWM STS + TWM Bushings + MazdaSpeed Urethane Shift Knob (p/n QSEA-46-030) for the RX-8 (from MedCenter Mazda Online) The shift knob thread on the RX-8 is the same as the MS3... the only install issue I had to deal with is that the RX-8 knob's threaded area is deeper than that of the MS3's...

Not intended as a bump... 'cause I'm not lowering the price on these oem wheels, sorry, but its amazing how low are people willing to let these go for... me? I'm keeping them and will put them back on the car when it (eventually) gets sold.. no way I'l sell these for less than what the Rays...

I paid $1600 even for a set of 4 MS3 Forged Wheels (silver), w/ no tax (over the internet sale), w/ a set of Mazda wheel locks thrown in gratis... these would have include free shipping as well if I hadn't driven in to have them installed along w/ the MS3 sport spring kit... (apparently Mazda or...

Read the 'sticky' about cross-linking to other forums...

Do you need to stay in the ATL area to buy your car? If not, give Med Center Mazda, in Pelham AL (just outside of Birmingham, AL) a visit... I bought my MS3 at Jay Mazda in Columbus, GA where I live, but had I done some research beforehand I prolly would have bought from Med Center Mazda... It's...

I just bought a set of the Mazdaspeed forged wheels a little more than 2 weeks ago and inquired about the smokey-chrome ones, unfortunately the p/n listed in the Mazdaspeed brochure (BLMS-8M-Z01,Smokey Chrome PVD) is not even listed in Mazda's ordering system yet, or so I was told at that...

Don't know if its been mentioned on this forum already, but its been said before that the MS3 seems to have a narrow clutch engagement zone (aka friction zone, or sweet spot) along with a relatively long throw of the shifter needed to change gears... having just yesterday installed a TWM STS for...
