My NEW 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed 3 ::280whp/311wtq needs moar torques::
 

Well as some of you may know i wrecked my s2k back in december, and it has been a long wait for another car. One of the main reasons was because i didn't know what i wanted. I finally narrowed it down to an evo, MS3 or another s2k. The evos are obviously nice, but for the money that i had, i could only afford a high mileage one or a salvage one. Plus the interior is not the greatest and my dad didn't want me to get one because the side impact is 2. The MS3 was my second choice and, when i first looked at one i was impressed. The interior is pretty decent and it had some good speed. So i drove a couple and eventually found one out in East Petersburg. Picked it up a week ago and so far i absolutely love it. It has 71k on it and has:

Very nice man, I wanted one so bad. Is it a sport or a GT?

sport with the upgraded sound which is a 7 speaker bose with sub and 6 disc changer

very nice! hopefully some better quality pics to come soon :]

Def get some under hood shots curious what you setup looks like.

Really running a type-r bov? You never see those these days especially for their size. maybe you meant RS?

it sure does have a type r on it ****s massive!

hahahah wow, interesting.


Good luck with it, my buddy has one and i love cruising around in it. I'd definitely consider one as a daily if i was in the market.

hey thanks i will be getting some new pictures once i am able to drive it lol the title still is in the mail from harrisburg

stoked someone else has one man! looks good. make sure that bov is recirculating.
i just blew the motor on mine at 84k miles cracked block and all, but just got a new turbo and motor with 5k miles on it :)
getta test pipe and accessport and youll be golden!
get on mazdaspeedforums.org if your not already too, good site.

do you have any plans?

lol you think your car blew up because you were running atmospheric and not recirc?


Nice pick O2Spec, i have always liked these cars since this asshole^ got one.

Cut MX some slack, that's obviously not the reason why he blew his motor, so leave it at that.

Don't crash this one! This is FWD boost which means torque steer. I still don't know how you lost control of the S2K, but I bet this car is going to be a bit tougher to drive so please be careful. I have never driven a S2K but have driven MS3s and they are torque friendly little buggers.

Enjoy it and uhhh...... wtf....get more pics lol

hahahaa joes kidding, hes my good friend! but yea i dont know why the motor blew but they gave me a 2010 one hmmmm

Looks good. I'm kicking myself in the ass for not getting one, oh well...maybe get a 2011 later on down the road.

yeah guys i have not even gotten to drive it yet because the previous owner had a loan on the car and when i bought it i payed off his loan, so i am still waiting to get the title in the mail because they take like 2 weeks to send it, i have been very busy recently, so i don't have any other pictures, but this week while i am still waiting i am gonna at least paint the badges flat black.

Nice :) jealous on the car, I wanted a speed3 so bad, trying to get a speed protege now though. Love Mazda's good luck with everything!

Newest picture. Removed stickers and put on yellow overlays for the fogs and painted the front and rear emblems black. I am getting tints tomorrow, so ill throw up some more pics and this time they will be high res :finga:

Looks good but def not feeling the sticker on the hood. Any plans for wheels?

wheels i am looking for are either silver or sbc rpf1s i am thinking either 18x8 or 8.5 or 19s in the same size i don't know yet.

18x9 trust me

looks good.

18x9? what tire size is that?

Get mazdaspeed6 wheels. They look so hot on MS3's.

Grab a cobb accessport and a downpipe
especially the accessport. it will drive like a whole nother car.

some new pictars up

plasti dipped wheels finally, third brake light, side markers and reflectors!

I really want to see what the short shifter is like in these things my girls got an 09 speed3 deff a pretty cool car.

And for rim sizes id suggest an 18x9.5 + 30 - 38 with a 255/35 or maybe slightly smaller 245/35 my girl runs 17x9 +38 and the wheels are sunk another half inch and they would be perfect. If you still havent bought rims yet
And your up in the air maybe one day you can see in person how they sit on her car and deciede from there. Itll atleast give you a better idea.

Car looks sick btw love silver !!

awesome to see another MS3 here...

are you running a Cobb AP yet ?

not yet thats next on the list shooting for 300 wheel

I think we need to add you to the list of Speed3 owners that have been on our dyno. ;)


Have fun with it!

i was looking through your pic's, and noticed your car has alot less fender gap then mine does... what suspension work do have done ??

mazdaspeed coilovers and mazdaspeed camber arms and sport springs

any idea what that cost ?

pricy lol i know mazdaspeed stuff was up there in cost heres the link to the accessory catalog

by any chance do you have a RMM on your 3 ?

im looking into buying an 88 duro JBR mount, but wanna know if i will notice any improvements in shifting. i know a trans mount will help that, but just wanted to see if the RMM alone helps...

yes i do i have full mounts they are all in the mod list on the first page. Your shifting will feel a little different, but the main thing your gonna notice is interior vibration

Just checking out the camera on my new Hero 2
