    Gen2 undercarriage splash shield?

    That was going to be my last resort. I just cant believe its this difficult to find these things since they are subject to wear and tear. Thank you kindly good sir! You are a gentlemen and a scholar.

    Gen2 undercarriage splash shield?

    Does anyone on this whole friggin forum know the part number to these 2 splash shields? They are flat underbody splash shields. Mine have seen better days... I have looked through entire catalogs on multiple websites, (Tasca, RealMazdaParts, Mazdaparts.com....etc...), and I still cant find...

    StreetSpeed’s DD 500+ MS6 Build

    Dont fuck with your driveshaft nuts just to get an ebay downpipe to fit. Bend the hangers on the downpipe or take a hammer to the downpipe portion that is touching. The last thing you need are balance issues on the driveshaft from grinding the nuts down offset.

    Gen2 MS3 Anti Lift Kit, and other Powerflex Bushings we now offer

    New arms would be a good idea so you can have fresh ball joints as well. Also you can take your time going full race car on both bushings too.

    New member here from the Sunshine State first time owning a Mazda

    I live up in Palm Beach Gardens just before Jupiter. I used to live in Broward, I miss it. A lot of great Art and Music there. Unless anything has changed since 2016, there are not many Mazdaspeed shops around SoFlo. Those that advertise themselves as it were awful. One of the worst was...

    Gen2 MS3 Anti Lift Kit, and other Powerflex Bushings we now offer

    The front or rear bushings on the front control arm? The fronts are just a matter of pressing or drilling them out. The rears you should be able to grind off since the kit that DM sells comes with an outer shell and inner sleeve.

    Grease cant hurt. I am not sure that your question about the drilling is an actual question?! Drill it just big enough to get a thin socket in there but no more than that, assuming you have a thin socket to fit.

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    Believe me I would love to, but we only have 9 more months left on this lease before we hopefully (fingers crossed) buy our first home. It's not worth a battle with "leased Mercedez C-class white privilige."

    G-loc brake pads.... ¿que?

    Finally got these on the car. I got the G-Loc R6 pads for front and rear. These pads take a while to bed in, so please allow enough mileage in your plans to accomodate this. These pads are really nice. They do have a bit of travel before you hit dead stop, which is good for brake...

    Pink Pony Club or "The S197 Blues"

    Update time Nothing major to write about for the mustang. Brakes, Watts Link, and Bilsteins are holding up great! Had 2 oil changes since the last post. We had some knife like road debris puncture one of the rear tires, which turned into a pair because the other side was worn down enough...

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    Update time... Progress has been very slow. I haven't stopped working during Covid except for the 2 weeks we took off to move. My current garage is about 18" narrower than my old garage. This may not sound like a lot, but it makes a huge difference when setting everything up on jackstands...

    Genpu Seatbelt Retracting Issue

    Your seat belt is dirty. You can pull the slack all the way off of the belt and put a pin or clip at the shoulder guide to keep it from retracting. Dunk all of your seatbelt in a bucket of water and degreaser, let it sit for an hour. You will need to strain the dirt and water off of the...

    ACT Clutch kit: Review/experience for MS3

    No, the issues are out there. Not to say these clutches dont work for most people. People just dont bring up the issues because ACT is one of the cheaper options on the market, and well you get what you pay for.

    Aftermarket crash bar and car insurance

    ETS TMIC is very nice. Built very well and uses the outer frame plate to seal up against the intercooler feed shroud. So it forces more air through the intercooler core. I have the 3.25" core and it sits flush against the shroud through the hood scoop. CPe is the same way. They are the only...

    Ms3 genpu camber arm help

    Yes that rear passenger side is a PITA because of that fuel neck shield. Almost if not all of the rear suspension arms have the same thread bolts, just different lengths. One of the bolts for the toe arms are shorter, cant remember if its inner or outer. Regardless of which, compare bolt...

    Basic Wire Tuck ?

    The first photo in the Reddit link. It should be noted that the picture shows a regular Mazda3 and not a Mazdaspeed3. That is important because they have less shit in the engine bay.
