    Help me pick out some new rubber!

    Hey guys, long time no see. So with nearly 28k miles, it's about time to ditch the stock poortenzas in favor of something wider and grippier. I've been strongly leaning towards a set of 235/40/18 Continental Contiextremecontact DW tires. I love that they have such a long life (UTQG of 340 AA A)...

    Last minute - drag racing tomorrow!

    Hey, I know this is very last minute for many of you, but I'd figure I'd try anyways. There'll be an import wars day tomorrow at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI. I'm trying to get a little mazda group together to drive up. We're meeting at the Citgo at the intersection of rt41 (skokie...

    Strange "swooshing" sound coming from the front drivers side?

    Hey guys, was hoping one of you could pinpoint an issues I've been having with my 08 MS3. There is an odd swooshing type of sound coming from the front left side of the car. The sound is almost like a whole bunch of marbles rolling around in a cloth bag. It comes almost from underneath the car...

    Pronunciation of tuner companies' names.

    I thought this would be an interesting idea for a thread... I've always wondered how to pronounce some of the more 'exotic' parts companies' names. You see them all the time on the internet and on paper, but only at meets and such do you hear them really pronounced and that is only so often for...

    Removing a painted lip?

    Hey guys, as you can clearly tell by my sig, I have a set of time attack Tenzo DC6s. Well, they're not in the best shape of their lives to be quite honest. I curbed one pretty badly and the red lip is starting to 'chip' off on two of the rims... I was wondering, since the red paint seems to be...

    The Official Mazdaspeed3 Exhaust Thread.

    I searched and searched but really didn't find a thread quite like this that was MS3 specific. I always find myself comparing exhausts on youtube to see which one I like best... problem is... I can never find the link or vid to the setup I want! For example... I love the sound of the Magnaflow...

    Plans for your MS3? Post 'em here.

    Just figured I'd create an MS3 specific thread where we can talk about what we plan to do with our cars. This can include future mod ideas and discussion. If you are planning on filling it with gas and driving it back and forth to the grocery store, great! I want to hear it! Plan on going built...

    Mazdaspeed 3 with single exhaust?

    I was wondering if anyone had ever thought of swapping the rear valance from an MS3 for one from a JDM or other 2.0 MZ3 hatch with the single outlet. I have also seen both catbacks from both cars and it looks, from pics, as if the 07-09 CBE will bolt up fairly well to the 2010 with little...

    New Photos - Saskatchewan17's hot hatch

    New photos from 7/10/10: Just decided to go out yesterday and snap a few quick shots in some random locations around Naperville, IL. Shots were taken with a Nikon D40X and no tripod (couldn't find it, damnit!), then they were quick edited. Yes, I'm well aware my HD lip...

    Problem with my MS3 (Vid inside: Timing chain? Heat Shield?) HELP!

    So I have just been getting this problem with my MS3 today and yesterday. It makes this clamoring sound (you will see in the video). Can someone diagnose this? Am I going to have to go to the dealer? I'm not getting any CELs and the car runs fine. It is coming from the passenger's side of the...

    HID options for fogs?

    Can anyone point me in the right direction of some nice HID fogs. I don't want the yellow color.... I'd prefer a hue that is similar to the GT HID stock low beams. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    I think they've had it.

    I just got into an argument with my Mom, the only one who has been letting me come to meets and been "ok" with my mods. Well... I drove her somewhere in the MS3 and it was the first time she had been in it with the new RMM... she hated it. Said that I need to consult with her when I do any...

    Blacking out the headlights?

    How hard is it to black out the headlights and reseal them? I know you have to bake them and whatnot but what is the entire procedure and what are the materials I'm going to need? Thanks for your input in advance!

    I'm in the market for a BOV! Must be MS3 specific and have the correct recirc adapter... to be honest I have a pretty low max price I'm willing to pay, but I figured I'd expand my options from a just a forge... but if you want to get one sold fast, please PM me!
