I already have the Turboxs DP, which I believe would fit to the 3071r. I thought they were both 3inch. I'd really be happy if I could keep the build under $6k, but I'm willing to spend a little more to keep it a safe and enduring build. Power wise, I'd like low 300s. I don't want super...

Thanks, guys! Awesome news! I'm thinking about the install either July 2nd or July 3rd. Hopefully I can get all the parts before then. The feedback I'm getting from the road currently is pissing me off! Workdawg, thanks for the offer! I'll for sure post up a help wanted thread as soon as...

Yeah, I really do not want to go back to stock. So...I'm thinking bigger turbo. Still doing research on everything I'll need. This is what I have so far: GT3071R turbo catch can tuning software TIP fuel pump? FMIC? What do you all think? Am I missing anything? The car will...

Yup, its time. My stock struts are heading out the door, and a single bump in the road now feels like 3. Going to upgrade to Koni Sport struts, coupled with Eibach Pro-Kit spring set. I'm not a mechanical genius, as much of you may know by all my questions. Just wondering if there is...

Hey all, so here's my situation: 2008 ms3, 68,XXX miles, and another smoking turbo. According to the newest Smoking Turbo TSB in the first thread here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123787883-TSB-01-004-10-(8-18-2010)-Smoking-Turbo-(Speed-3) , there is a newer/updated turbo...

Checked the intake couplings and they were fine. Started my car and listened for about 5 minutes and the sound never came back. Drove it around my work parking lot, parked it again, popped the hood, and nothing. Not sure what that noise was. I'll keep you posted if it comes back... I hate...

Yeah, I have the mazdaspeed CAI and the noise was coming from the engine bay. It did change pitch a little bit as I sped up but not in harmony with my RPMs. Then, it just all of a sudden stopped. It also was doing it at engine idle speed when I was stopped at a stop-sign and in neutral. I...

Hey all, My '08 MS3 was making a very weird high pitched squeeky pssssssp noise this morning on my way to work. It sounded as if my car was speaking in morse code for the first mile or so, and then it just stopped. Didn't matter what gear I was in, under boost, or in neutral. If I were to...

Yup, it was. I was so close to ragequiting this morning. Such a crappy past 36 hours.

This is what I no longer have...... http://www.autopartsfair.com/mazda-exterior_parts/3-2008-engine_drivetrain-m310114.html

So I decided to go out fishing on Tonka last night and while out there, my splash shield got ripped off by an unseen old ice-hole that somebody never kicked down. Last night, I drove the car around and it drove like it always had. This morning, I go out to drive, and at about 45mph the whole...

Thanks! I'll let him know, and hopefully we'll get it figured out.

Hey all! My buddy just bought a 1998 protege and when I drove it, the throttle seemed to stick a little bit. I would have to push the gas down with a little force, and then as soon as the throttle was pushed hard enough, the pedal would push in easily and the RPMs would shoot up. It made...

Black MS6 on Lake O'Dowd in Shakopee yesterday, Jan 2nd. Debadged and a for-sale sign in the rear window. Sounded like it may have had exhaust upgrade too. I was in the black frabil portable right next to your house, but on the other side of the plowed road/ice rink. Did you catch anything...

2 MS3 spottings on 35 heading South, just North of Hinkley, yesterday. First was a cosmic blue - looked stock. Second was black with lots of goodies. Gave you a wave the first time I passed you. Cobb and AEM stickers on the windows, rims, tires, FMIC, exhaust, tint. Your car sounded...

Blacked out MS3 headed North on Normandale Blvd in Bloomington, Monday night, around 8:40. I gave a wave, but your windows were closed so I have no clue if you even saw me...

Post some pics!

Jeesh...Didn't know it was frowned upon by "the law". So many stupid laws/rules...You can only drive this fast! You can only have 50% tint! Opps, you failed to use your turn signal...shame on you. Can anybody tell me if I'm still able to wipe my ass from front to back? Tom, I may take you...

Oh yeah, it would only be at/around sunset when they would look glowy. The morning too, pre-sunrise as I park my car in a lighted garage.

Painted my stock wheels white and then covered them with glow paint? Then, on top of that glow paint, a clear coat? Hmmm.... By the way, these would be used as my new winter setup, so I don't really care. Just not stock silver. Anything but stock silver.
