Same. Bought some WS70s new for some 16" steelies on my MS3 and they're rock-solid. Haven't gotten even close to being stuck in any weather this winter.

Decided to install my winter tires today. The forecast of snow tomorrow scared me into putting them on a bit earlier than I planned, but I'm happy with the results even with no snow. The Blizzaks are WAY quieter than my Goodyear all-seasons and it's noticeably easier to turn (a 205/60/R16 vs a...

Seconded. That site will have the most technical responses (usually) but is prone to tearing people apart. Use with caution :)

I am trying to clean up all the extra stuff I have laying around the apartment and realized I have more things I don't use than I thought. Come buy it! Haggle! Ask to trade for beer! CAR STUFF - RSX Type-S Injen Short-Ram Intake. Comes with a filter for it that needs a cleaning, but...

PM'd on the wheels

Sometimes the turbo is just getting too much oil. These cars are notorious for that. A quick fix could be as "simple" as getting a new oil restrictor bolt, drilling it out a bit to compensate for the normally too-narrow opening, then install it. Google around for more info on that (I know...

I've got the TRZ Dogbone, which some people claim is harsh, but I love it. Zero wheel-hop, and the only time anything vibrates hard is under 1500 RPM with a load (IE: Not at idle).

Just so I'm up to speed, you have a turbo-back exhaust on the car but no high-pressure fuel internals? That's a huge, huge risk to run on these cars. Order HPFP Internals and don't floor the car (hell, I'd avoid boost all together) until they come. See this for references...

I should also mention I have one installed on my car. Installed with 2-port, there is no change in power, because the boost does not change. An EBCS is not a power-adding mod unless you're changing the boost levels.

The Grimmspeed EBCS does not modify the boost levels at all if you connect it via the directions that show 2-port. If you decided to hook it up 3-port instead, you are overboosting and will probably blow your engine up pretty soon if you keep on it. It probably feels like it's hauling ass...

Is there reallly two spots left (for couples)? If so, I figure this might be a good time to meet some of the group here

Welcome! I've got a Mazda(speed) 3 hatch too, and dig the hatches very much. Awesome that you were able to pay in cash.

I'm looking to get a boost leak test done on the cheap. I know building a boost leak tester is cheap as it is, but I don't have access to an air compressor, and would rather skip making the tester if someone else already has one handy. It's a stock-turbo (K04) Mazdaspeed 3 that it'd be done on...

Spotted a black Gen2 MS3 with tint and wheels at Lone Oak Grill today around 5-6pm. It had Wisconsin temp plates, so I'm guessing it was a new purchase. Anyone here?

#2 sounds cool. I was bummed I didn't join until the weekend after the summer cruise to New Glarus :( As long as it's not the first two weekends on Oct, I'll show up.
