    Official 225/45/17 Tire List for Mazdaspeed (Stock Rims)

    It was asked for, so I thought I'd create this listing of tire manufacturer's whose 225/45/17 fit our Mazdaspeeds. I just purchased the Bridgestone S-03's today, and I'm sad to say that they DO NOT fit. I had rubbing against the suspension arm and frame on the inside of the right front tire, and...

    225/45/17 vs. 225/40/17 on Stock Rims

    Hey Guys, So I know there are a TON of threads about tire size....but....none of them answered my question so here's one more. I've got a killer deal on some Bridgestone S-03's (my buddy works for Bridgestone), and have heard that you can fit a 225 width on the stock rims without rubbing...

    So how bad is hitting fuel cut? Really?

    Hello all, Just wanted to ask if anyone knew if hitting the fuel cut is really harsh on your engine. I have an MSP boosted to 10psi with colder plugs, JOe's FPR, and that's about it. But with the weather turning colder here, I hit fuel cut if I get on it. So I've been babying it, but...

    Spark Plug Install??

    Hey, I remember reading a thread a while back that had a step by step guide to changing out your plugs. I did a search and waded through about 5,000 noobs asking what kind of plugs to use, but I couldn't find the thread that described the install. If anyone has the link, or would care to...

    Whistle at Idle?

    Anyone else have this problem? It's been happening on and off for a couple of weeks now, and I haven't been able to pinpoint where it's coming from. Problem is, I can't recreate it, so I can't take it in until it does it, and even then it could stop by the time I got there. It's a quite...

    Got a free coupon for an oil change at the dealership....

    ....because they are total retards and can't fix my subwoofer (see addendum). Do I use it? I'm on Mobile 1 synthetic now, and I don't know if I should trust them to change my oil. But if it's free......I don't know. Am I being paranoid? If I give them the oil, do you think I can trust...

    For all of you who have CAI.....

    ....is anyone interested in selling me their stock intake tube? The one that goes from the stock airbox to the wastegate. [Please don't move this moderator's. I know there's the For Sale section, but since this is only a Mazdaspeed part, and the other section doesn't get frequented as much...

    Orange MSP on 880 South in San Jose? Anyone?

    Well I had an eventful drive home. Saw my FIRST Mazdaspeed on the road (other than my own) while I was driving. It was a SPICY (anyone else like pronouncing "spicy" like Jim Carey? OK...just me) Orange one. I think the dude waved at me, but I could just be imagining things. If this is you...

    Short-Ram vs. CAI vs. Drop-in Filter

    Hello all, Been thinkin' an awful lot about air induction, and wanted to get everyone's opinion on which is the best way to go with our cars. I've already heard the standard K&N cone filter creates a drop in power, so I didn't include that here. I'm a little put off by the hydrolock aspect...

    And here I thought Gray Davis was the worst governor.... .....but NO! It's the damn governor on our MSP! Headed down to San Luis Obispo this weekend to visit some old college buddies for the 4th, and was on a particularly long, flat, empty stretch of 101 south when I thought I would make up...
