Got this baby shipped from Cali with 84,xxx miles completely stock except for its clutch, I believe it has a extreme clutch, plus they deleted the muffler, other than that stock stock.
Ready to start throwing money into it

Welcome to the forum. What are the mods you’re thinking about?

Thank you, air intake+Hpfp (reading is the first thing to do on this engines), downpipe and maybe a big turbo. I installed a Ultimate Racing catback already and sounds nice and rumbling.

Need to figure out first a weird noise that is coming from the passenger side every time I turn the steering wheels to the left, not when is straight. Mazda says is the transmission, but the transmission is find, is not the hub bearing, I think is the axle or the inner axle shaft, don’t know and is driving me crazy.

Welcome!

Broward County, looking for a MSP3 tuner/mechanic? And you?

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 Velocity Factor in Boca Raton. Those guys did a lot of damage to many cars.

Velocity Factor, wow. That took me back. They had blown up Mazdas since the Speed Protege.
