Alyssa, let me know if you guys want to come over some time to check out my MS3. It's packed away in the garage, but I'll dig it out if you guys want to come check it out if you're still trying to decide.

So, what is with all the MS3 bashing in this thread? If I am not mistaken we are a mazda car site, so why are people putting up with dommo and stealth bad mouthing our cars?

I have modded my car since day one and have had no issues. If you are smart with your mods and don't cheap out on parts then you'll be just fine with whatever platform you choose.

Relax, man. I'm not bad-mouth the MS3, just explaining that they don't always take mods very well. No different than my MS6. Some turn out fine, others wind up with issues, but modding a Mustang, a WRX, etc is definitely cheaper and more reliable.

Yeah Dom that would be cool! And brian took the Tcs out, and my car is haulin ass now ! But id still like to check out ms3

Who the hell said I was bad mouthing or bashing the MS3? I fucking own one, don't I?

SpeedRacer · Postby **SpeedRacer** » Sun May 17, 2009 9:14

Um I agree with Patrick ^^ You were / are bashing the shit out of the MS3. You may own one but in your own words, its packed away in your garage. Sorry but all you did in this entire thread was bash MS3's.

Sorry but they -do- take to mods well. Explain where they don't? I'd love to hear this from you seeing as how you have zero mods on yours if I remember correctly.

Can we have some examples of issues with modding a MS3? Mine is heavily modded and I haven't had any issues.

Cesaros · Postby **Cesaros** » Sun May 17, 2009 9:14

example one: you INCORRECTLY install your mod...it doesnt work properly.

cant think of any more at the time guys..sorry..

That's the best you have? Isn't this true with ANY car?? Nice try.

Whee this threads fun!

So Dommo I've now owned the 2 fastest and highest HP speed3's in the state (troy now owning my old one and even making it faster than I did) and there's relatively been no issues with either. Plus another 30 cars i've installed parts on that haven't had issues... So where's the problem with modding?

What are you going to bring up a turbo with bad seals from factory? How does that relate to modding?

Alyssa welcome to the club and glad yer SRT is working better now

Stealth01 · Postby **Stealth01** » Sun May 17, 2009 9:14

Well, I for one did not intend to bash the MS3. My MS6 has even MORE problems with mods than the MS3, which is why it is and will remain painfully stock, at least power-wise.

I think the biggest problem with mods on either car is the tendency of the MZR to blow when you up the power past 300 HP. The smoking turbo problem isn't directly related to modding, but seems more pronounced and more frequent with modded cars. The MS6 has its stupid rear diff mount bolts that like to shear, but that's our problem, not the MS3. Price we pay for being .3 seconds quicker to 60 (stock) and slower in the quarter.

Maybe it's a misconception, but I seem to read about a lot of Mazdaspeeds having problems after mods. Or maybe it's like Josh said -- they're doing it wrong.
