Ok, let's start with what caused it. There's several possibilities, the most likely of which is the PO of the car probably did some damage to it before you got it. The rods are kinda fragile, and especially if it ever runs into a lean condition (IE CDFP failed) it's gonna smoke a rod. That's the...

Worst case scenario- coilovers!

Yeah, I'd talk to stellar. If there's a suspension issue, they'll find it.

Nice J-body!

Keep that voodoo donut closed- it's fucking nasty.

Easiest way to track it is call the dealers and see if the car's ever been there for service. If the car's never left the state, there's only like 3 places it coulda been serviced.

Ms3's have a known problem with the timing tensioner. It was a TSB for all of the first gen cars. Does it have a bit of valve clatter on start up? Mine did, and I got the TSB done. Only problem is- it expires at 70k. I also had a random misfire as well- that can be any number of things. I'd...

Yeah, I'm genuinely curious as to what is going to end up in these cars for engines.

Fair enough.

Yeah see- THIS is the kinda thing that would have had me interested in it. Now we know for next time!

Don't bother, you're going to blow them apart. I'll GIVE you mine, but they're already shot and sitting in a box in storage. By the time you get to correcting the suspension issues on this car, you're better off ordering coilovers.

If you see an extremely bearded dude in a dirty black ms3, that's me, so don't be too scared lol.

I like it, I may take you up on that if I see you.

I believe mine is installed pointed end up. I can go look later to be sure. The other thing to check with the creaks and groans, you greased the shit out of the bushings, right? Binding can cause that.

Attachment is busted... can you host to photobucket and paste it?

Yep, those are solid. Now for wider tires and a drop....

Well, at least I do. Most people aren't too amped about mudflaps. I really DO like how they look on these cars though. As far as visual impact, I believe the rally armors and their corksport counterparts to be one of the best looking things you can do to a mazda3 hatch, speed or otherwise. I...

Nice. Glad it all worked out for you.

Golf club and blades are gone, thanks JT! Listed updated to reflect. Someone buy the rest of this crap!

LOL Andy- if JT bails on me for whatever reason, you're next in line. Promise. Hayden- duly noted.
