I don't use one. I have not used one, ever. I have had many tickets - 4 in the last 4 years. 3 in the last 2 years during which time I've owned the Speed3. Two were really unfair, but I did break the law; the cop was just being really quota-hungry if I'd venture to guess. Anyway, I do admit the...

I have a question about what a coilover is. From my understanding, a coilover is a combo of a spring and a shock that offers adjustable ride height/adjustable dampening rate. So in the above image of the BC coilover for our MS3's, the red arrow points to spring/shock combo for the front for...

Hey guys, My front brakes started squealing at 25k miles. Got the brakes checked and found the following: Front rotors were very close to the minimal thickness and the front pads were worn out, too - rear were just fine, btw. The first solution was the following: Since the OEM rotors are...

I'm currently trying to install H&R lowering springs on my MS3 2008. I completed the rear with a friend, but I'm having problems with the front. I know that the bottom of the shock has to come out of the knuckle, but when I loosen the pinch bolt the shock still won't come out. I've tried to...

I was going about 60 mph and hit a racoon of about 20 lbs. The racoon was low enough that when I hit it, it hit the lower left portion of the front bumper and slid under the ground as I drove over it in a hysteria. The obvious damage is a dent in the front bumper on the left bottom portion...

I just found out that driving in heavy rain can get me in so much trouble since I have MS CAI... did not know that prior to today. This is my first "performance" car and I don't know much about performance parts. How much danger is there in driving in the rain with a CAI in our MS3's? What can I...

I used the blow drier/floss/spray adhesive remover method. For the spray adhesive remover, I used a "gasket remover" because at Advanced Autoparts, that was the only thing they had close to a spray adhesive remover. I had tried Home Depot and Walmart to find the 3M adhesive remover spray but...

it's 2008 silver sport and it's scary fast! I love the sleeper look...hopefully not many people know about ms3's... anyways, it's a bad ass car!

Hello guys and girls! I'm really new Mazdas. I found this website and I'm thrilled to see everybody is so excited about MS3's. First of all, I live in Birmingham, AL. I have only owned two beat-up cars (i.e. 1991 Nissan Stanza and 2000 Corolla). I'm 18 years old and will be turning 19 soon. I...
