    Why You Should Use Headlight Film

    I agree, but it is nice to see an actual result. I have film on all of our headlights, and on my MS3, I put in new headlights and immediately had the film applied. Small price ($95) of the film is a lot less than replacing the units! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What's the alllure of the MS3?

    What I am talking about is the angle of my legs. I am 6'4" with a long torso. My other rides are a CX-9, which has a great seating position, the other is a CX-5 which is similar. IF you look at a GTI, for example, the ingress/egress is much easier. A lot is windshield angle too. This is...

    Dammond PMM installed....

    I was surprised too. Now that all 3 mounts have been installed (CS Stage II RMM, Damond PMM, CS insert in the TMM) there is an overall increase in NVH, but it is not as bad as I was lead to believe on the various forums. I notice the NVH most during the initial warmup when I start the engine...

    What's the alllure of the MS3?

    Oh, and I fit in it...and my son already bought one and wanted to sell it.....next time/if ever again/it will likely be a car with a more upright seating position. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What's the alllure of the MS3?

    Well, I am a Mazda guy, I love the way they handle....even this beast. I will not expand the under the hood power of this engine/transaxle except for the short intake from CS. Otherwise, any mods I do is for handling. I have secured the engine/transaxle with new mounts and helped the...

    Cooling For Long Distance Drive

    I take mine all over AZ and it gets a touch warm here. Good AC and I get 25-28 mpg running pretty much stock on Top Tier Premium...I like Costco gas. The nice thing is that I can drive this car fast and still get good mileage. When I take my CX-9 (2015) and cruise at 83mph I get 17 mpg...

    June 2017 Raffles!

    So if we are Metal we automatically qualify? Do we need to enter somewhere else? This is an awesome prospect, but I absolutely NEVER win these raffles....even at Church when I am the Pastor! S Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Pictures of your speed

    Thanks. I wasn't sure I liked it because the clear coat had oxidized on the paint so badly (it has always been an AZ car since it was born in Japan, that is). I probably invested more in the paint job than I will ever get out of it in $, but wow, with a new and deep coat of Celestial Blue with...

    See my post on the CS TMM insert to help with the NVH. Amazing combination!

    TMM Insert installed

    Today I finished off the "motor mount project" by having the CS TMM insert installed by my favorite Mazda Tech named Drew. I am pleasantly surprised by this addition. In review, I have a 2010 MS3 GT with about 87,000 miles on her. I have the CS Stage 2 RMM, the Damond PMM and now the CS...

    Stage 2 RMM for Mazdaspeed!

    Yep! Mine has been in a couple of weeks, along with Damond PMM. On Friday I am getting the CS blue insert put into the TMM and then I will check off "Motor Mounts" from my Restore List! Yes, there is an increase in NVH, but the beast has been tamed when it comes to steering and shifting! I...
