So I was just doing an oil change the other day, and I noticed BEFORE doing anything with the oil that I have some type of brownish fluid/residue that is coated pretty thick over a part connecting to the front diff. I'm not completely sure of the exact name of the part, but you can see that it...

Hey guys. I've been noticing some weird popping/thunking sounds when engaging the clutch on my 2010 MS3. Took it to the dealer and he gave me this whole "it's normal in these cars because of the motor mount" BS. Don't believe it for a second. Anyhow, we don't have a Speed dealer anywhere...

UPDATE 6-22-10 - PICS AND VIDEO FINALLY ADDED!!! I'm just curious if any of you 2010 MS3 owners have considered a moonroof/sunroof for your Speed yet. Honestly, it is the one thing the car is truely missing that I wanted...so much so that I almost chose a 2009 Cobalt SS coupe over it. I'm...

I've owned almost a dozen vehicles in the last 10 years, and I have to admit that i've yet to have one who's seats have been less uncomfortable for long distance trips. This includes and RX-8, MS6, Mustang Cobras, Probe, Pathfinder and a Vette. Honestly, i'm very surprised. First off, i'm 28...

Has any 2010 Mazda3 or Mazdaspeed3 owners had problems with their cruise control working correctly? I've had problems with off/on issues on a number of different conditions with the cruise engaged. First time I noticed it was when I was sitting in cruise while going over hilly areas, and after...

Anyone attempt to rewire their foglights to run independently from the headlights yet? Usually it's done so the fogs turn on once you turn your parking lights on but i'd seen it be completely indepenedent from all other lights. I've did the fog light mod on 5 vehicles now, and know that its...

Anyone else have a rattle or creak starting in their drivers seat? I've got about 1500 miles on my 2010 MS3 and the drivers seat is starting to crack/rattle during adjustments within the seat. If you start or stop all the sudden, it's heard as well. Seems to be coming from behind your butt as...

Lookin to possibly pick up a set of TPMS sensors for my winter rims, but I'm not gonna buy new ones. Question is...will previous generation TPMS sensors work on the 2010, or is a "new and improved" system (AKA more money)? I've seen a lot of RX8 sensors and some Mazda 3 sensors but i'm not...

As it's been mentioned in other threads about the new MS3, i've been hearing a sound while shifting the 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 shift that sounds a lot like a "thunk" or "clunk" sound depending on how you hear it. Might happen from time to time in the higher gears but it's NEAR as noticable...

Hey all Bought this set of rims to use for winter tires and ended up finding another deal for a set of rims that already had rubber on them so these are up for grabs. Set of 5 spokes off of a 2007 Mazda 6i. Rims are 17x7", 5x114 bolt bolt pattern, +60 offset. Fit over my 2010 Mazdaspeed3...

Well I just got done installing the auto-dimming mirror...how many of you have did this on a 2010 MS3? Even with the instructions, it took me a good hour and 20 minutes to get past step 4 (a-pillar removal). The illustration they give you tells you almost nothing at all about removing the...

Can anyone tell me if there has been any changes to the brakes or fitment for rims on the 2010 MS3? Looking for winter tires on TireRack and they have a surplus of options for the 07-09 MS3 winter wheel/tire combos, but for 2010, it tells me you have to call. Aren't they identical? Anyone know?

As it reads, i'm looking for any type of rims that have snow tires mounted on them. I just bought a 2010 MS3 and know i'm not even gonna be able to move in 1" of snow on these tires. I'd rather zip off my current rims with the impact wrench and swap out rims/tires then have snows mounted on...

Hey all, just swung by the local Mazda dealer and picked up a fully loaded MS3 today. Look forward to a lifetime of fun in it. I've owned both and RX8 and an MS6, so i'm no stranger to Mazda. Lets just say that after a little time abroad (Cobras), the prodigal son has returned home. Good to...

Whats up all. New MS6 owner here...well new-er at least. Been driving it about 2 months now. I've been all over different boards before with the same name, including Probetalk, SVTPerformance, SVTCobraClub, RX8Club, and the Mazda 6 Club. Given the forums i've joined, it's not tough to...
