Hi All, My worst fears about installing an oil catch can in a northern climate came to fruition...I wish I had never installed it. We are in a deep freeze right now (-30 Celsius / -22 Fahrenheit) and I had an extended drive home (1.5 hours) after visiting with family. The majority of the trip...

Hey everyone, Tagging: @StreetSpeed6 @Awafrican @Enki I've been trying to trace an issue with very negative fuel trims at idle, KR at WOT and pig-rich AFR conditions during WOT runs. A lot of these issues started happening after cleaning the intake valves and installing an OCC last March and...

Hey everyone, @Enki I'm creating this thread as per your suggestion. In March / April, I took it upon myself to walnut blast the intake valves, service / clean the fuel injectors, replaced the injector seals with Overspeeds, replaced the PCV valve in the OEM PCV plate, and installed the DM...

Hey guys and gals, I recently purchased a Forge BPV from Edge Autosport; model no. FMWRX3. It came with 3 springs (blue, yellow, and red) and no shims and no instructions. For the life of me I cannot find instructions for it...I know how to install the valve, but I don't know what spring to...

Hey guys, I was curious you could give me some points on pulling the fuel rail and injectors. I'll be cleaning my intake valves (myself, for the first time) and installing a new PCV and my OCC. Since the last time I had the injectors cleaned was almost 60,000 miles ago, I figure it's time...

Hey guys, Over this past week, I've been trying to 'fix' a rust issue on my rear wheel arches and interior side bottom of the passenger front door, which is also starting to rust bubble on the exterior side as well. I live in the snow / salt belt that is Canada, so this isnt avoidable. I say...

My 2011 Gen 2 is starting to succumb to its age and our harsh, salty ass winters in Canada. Bottom inside of the front passenger door is starting to rust, as well as the rear passenger side wheel arch. In both cases, it appears that the seam sealer has failed in these areas causing the start...

Are there any good how-to's for changing the brake fluid and clutch fluid on this site? I'm definitely overdue for this service and have never done this myself on any car before (I usually let a mechanic do it). I'm curious if there is anything I should be aware of like running into seized...

I searched for a similar style thread here, but could not find one. (@Raider, feel free to delete this thread if there is already a similar one). Pretty simple thread and is just for fun: 1) What year is your MS3? 2) How many miles is on your car? 3) Are you on the original motor, rebuilt, or...

Hey everyone, I installed an upgraded TMIC (old Street Unit) and 3" test pipe with one step colder plugs as per my tuners recommendation this past weekend. I've taken a couple WOT datalogs, both ways down the same stretch of a relatively flat road. I am getting a bit of knock retard <1.0 KR...

Hi guys, I am considering a resonator delete on my 2011 Mazdaspeed 3. I've watched countless videos on YouTube and they all sound different due to recording equipment, ambient conditions, etc. Will I regret it (I.e. drone)? Any shame in being 33 years old and driving around like that? Haha...

Hey everyone! Brand new to these threads and the idea of being tuned for an e30 mix. I drive a 2011 MS3 with 122,000 miles on it (2nd owner since 2013 and 13,985 miles). Checked the compression this winter and all looked good (also had leakdown test done a couple years ago and it was <5% if I...

Hey everyone! I'm a new member here, over from the other forum (which constantly seems to be down). I've been an owner of a 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 since 2013. Haven't done a ton of stuff since its my daily driver: - Autotech Internals - COBB Accessport v3 - 3" JBR tru-wide full aluminum intake -...
