Horoscope huh? LOL

Yikes! Good thing you found that OP. As was mentioned I'd be looking to borescope and see what's going on.

Here ya go, you've got A LOT of work ahead of you. https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/speed-3-awd-conversion.12034/ https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/awd-speed-3-project-halfmilespeed3.15154/

I can totally relate to this, I've been lucky to ride along on track a few times and it's absolutely amazing! I have just had different priorities in life and never made that a priority. I'm just happy to be able build my car for street use and enjoy it there. OP I've also really enjoyed this...

It's on this page for the Swift Spec R springs. https://www.springrates.com/products/swift-spec-r-springs-2010-2013-mazda-mazdaspeed3-bl3

Are you asking about Bilstein B8 with Swift Spec R Springs? I know people run them and that they are a known good combo. I have that exact setup waiting to be installed on my car.

Sweet new DD! I did my front wheel bearings a couple years ago and used the Harbor Freight kit. Pressed them in and out no problem I didnt have a bench at the time so I ended up working on the floor with my vise bolted to some home made speed ramps. Getting the snap ring in and out of the...

While we are on that topic, how many miles on these plugs?

There is a thread just above this one called "TROUBLESHOOTING SHEET" . Take a look and give us the rest of the information requested there. Edit, just saw you are in the Chicagoland area, if you are looking for a reputable shop to work on Speeds let me know.

How many miles are on this motor?

So your leak down test is showing that #3 has the worst result of your cylinders. Your compression test is a bit uneven as well with 1 and 3 showing 210 psi. If I were to take a guess based on my experience I wouldn't be surprised if you find that cylinder #3 is wet with oil if you look in...

Good old cylinder #3, those leak down numbers aren't looking that great to me honestly based on what I've been through. If you have access to a bore scope I'd pull the plugs and take a peek inside your cylinders.

So on the note of oil restrictor bolts and such.... You might find that interesting. Not saying that's the cause of your issues. When you had the intake manifold off did you see any evidence of oil in the manifold?

OP you say cylinder leak down was all green but what were the actual percentages of leak down. The reason I ask is I was in the green also on a known good Snap On leak down tester. If I recall correctly 30% was still in the green. However 25%-30% leak down is not a good result at all. @Enki I...

OP, Was any of this mentioned when you bought the car?

Looks like there was a similar post here not sure if a solution was ever found. https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/p0012-camshaft-timing-overretarded.14399/ I'm in Chicagoland and luckily I found a great shop that specializes in Speeds not far from me. Parts guy at my local Mazda...

What exactly is happening that makes you think you have an issue to address?

What brand of MAF sensor did you use? Do you have HPFP internals in the car? I believe the car will actually idle off of just in tank pump pressure. @Enki correct me if I'm wrong on that one. It does look like your HPFP is functioning though. Also pretty much everyone here will tell you not...
