I sold my car over a year ago and this is sitting in my garage. It's painted true red but needs repainting thanks to tiny stone chips from driving. No cracks, no weirdness, and it's in very presentable shape. You could sand it and flat black it if you wanted a front spoiler on the cheap.
I'm...
With heavy heart I've parted ways with my 2007 true red MS3.
I have joined the dark side. The marvelous darkside.....
my title should read mazdaspeeders. I am le retard.
It was on the chopping block so my wife could get a new car. Ended up keeping it and bought her a 2010 FJ Cruiser. Pick it up sometime this week (it's in transit)
Hooray for $1000 in car payments again! haha. Just for about a year, then the Speed is paid for.
No bent fins. No broken tabs. Very noticeable power increase. I've had this for about 2 years. The shroud was painted black but has since worn. You could re-rattle can it for a new like look! It has never had any clearance issues. Some argue the 3.25 inch core works best as it does...
$500 shipped to the lower 48 firm.
I take paypal.
comes with cable, dongle thingy, a little booklet, a CD, a sparkly box, some maps and junk.
I divorced it from my ECU. No visitation in decree. Alimony set @ a one time payment of $500.
I've had one for about 2 years. Mine pooped out. It just illuminates the screen with back lighting and does nothing else.
Anyone else have this issue? Secret button sequence to make it work again?

pick what you think is the closest to true red.
i know it will look different on everyone's monitor, so the collective view might help.
These are factory mazdaspeed 3 struts and shocks. The springs however, are the factory Mazdaspeed springs (30% stiffer, lower car about .5 to .75 inches) No camber plates. Also comes with hardware. This would be a GREAT upgrade to a factory MZ3 or an easy swap for someone who wants...
and my 88 duro AWR mount was rather distorted. Installed my new TRZ mount and while it is a little vibey (but not bad at all!) it's given the car a serious solid feel. I read quite a few threads on people complaining about the vibes. Maybe my 1981 Scirocco S with all Poly engine mounts broke...

Stage II VF engineering supercharged.
1.8 60 foots. He decimates me off the line but we're a good run when moving @ 20mph. I hope to change that soon.
This was an all VW event so I couldn't have run anyway.
I've got want sounds like a squeak coming from under neath the car. It's not the windshield squeak, I know what that sounds like. It's def a bushing type squeak. I have an AWR 88 Duro trans mount. I've had it for 40,000 miles. I'm wondering if that's my squeak.
Anyone else have the same...
I search...I even GIS'd bitches.
Someone post pics of their MS3s with Enkei RFP-1 in a 17 in black on their true red MS3. (lol2)
17X7 if you can. You know, nothing too specific. Just if you have them handy.
If you have a set of 17x7 or 17X8 traklites, I'd like to be your very best friend and buy them.
I'd prefer something blemish free but will entertain other possibilities.
I know how much they are new and where I can get them. If you haven't guessed, this is an effort to save me some...
I have a set of OZ ultra legerras in gold. I'm thinking about having them professionally powdercoated (low temp) true red, to match the car.
Bad idea? Personally, I think it would look pretty good. I saw a Red Porsche 996 turbo that was red with red wheels and thought it looked bad assed...
I used to get that when I had the Mazdaspeed Springs.
A few months ago I installed BC racing coilovers. I never took a picture.
I took one today
Not bad for 2.5 years of ownership. Still cleans up nice.
