It would be a great ideea to share the best drive you had (the location) in your MS3 (and other cars). That could help everybody in choosing the next destination in your Speed3. My latest road trip (4000 mile, Chicago-Yellowstone-Rocky Mountains) showed me how little I knew about great roads...

I ran a couple of tests in the last few days. It turns out that if you drive in ideal conditions, plain road on cruise control and no traffic (no lane changing, no touching the brakes) at 45 mph the computer shows an average of 44 mpg!!! I tried various speeds for about an hour at the time, and...

Anybody who could help me with rolling my rear fenders around Chicago? I only need 1/4 of inch or less. Too much of a hassle with renting/shipping the tools. Thank you.

My floor mat hook disappeared last week. I was looking around for it and could not find it. Now the floor mat moves forward under the pedals. Anybody knows where I could buy one? Anybody has an extra one laying around or decided to remove their own to use different floor mats? Thank you!

I raced a Ford Mustang 4.6L V8 the other night. I turned off the traction control and I dropped the clutch @ 3000 rpms. The rev jumped close to 7000 rpms and stayed there. With all the wheel spin going on, I up shifted to the second gear. The RPMs were above 6000 the whole time. When I got to...

How long should you warm up the engine in cold weather (below freezing)? I want to keep my MS3 past the warranty expiration. Should you not start driving until the temperature needle starts moving?

I installed my new rims + tires + TPMS on my MS3. $1425 shipped from TireRack: Sport Edition CD 17" rims, 225/50ZR17 Goodyear F1 all season. Not the best looking rims probably, but I do not have to worry so much about the brake dust. When I had them put on the car, the mechanic called me in...

I have experienced this three times already in the past 5 days. It never happened before (the past 6500 miles). When I floor it, around different rpms, the engine chokes, it stops pulling just for a fraction of a second and then pulls again with full power. It makes me realize though how much...

I finally had a chance to go all the way with my Mazdaspeed3. I had 2 runs and the speedometer froze at 153 Mph. I have it all on video, I just have to figure out a way to transfer it to the computer. Did anybody else try it? How fast could you go? I figure that if I saw 153 on the dashboard...
