I still consider our ms3 a wagon...

i used to really dislike mazdas in the past, but when my girl got hers, I kinda liked the overall comcept from the designers...

handled well, did not feel cheap and the local mazda dealership sales and service were really cool...

her old 3 got totaled and we were shoppign fora new car... nothing in her budget came even close to the ms3 overall...

PS. I'm still jealous you hava CWP

Now that you sold your tC, how was that BELL INTERCOOLER setup - really???.. Everyone talked that it lost a bit of PSI, but did you notice ANY powerloss, or anything else? I talked to you about buying it for a while, but someone else scooped it up.

Seriously MS3 was my first choice, but the rents had some stake in it even though i was paying for most of the car. My bro f'd it up 4 me telling then it had mad HP i was like d#ck. Anyways very nice im jealous, o and arent scions american by classification? They belong to Toyota and toyota is american since they race in stock car races no? Still all the engineering is Jap :-D

It may be owned by FORD, but it is indeed made in Japan.

ya Mahala picked it up. I honestly don't know how it performed with it on... I never got it fully installed. Started but some things came up with my work/was short on money so had to turn around and sell is asap. I wish I could have installed and kept it.

From what I've seen on various post of stock MS3 dynos from Mazda3Forums, they dyno about 235-240whp and 265-270tq.

Turbo xs has a sown pipe intake boost controller that gets you 300 whp, have they changed anything with the motor internals so it can handle more power ?

like the color, those are actually very nice cars, a friend of mine has one and it is superior to a tC in every way, by far best performance for the money now days

Ya, most likely when I get a exhaust it's goint to be a Turbo XS TBE. As for internals, I'm not sure that anybody makes any kits or anything for them that I know of yet. They've only been out since 07, but there are a few people that I've heard of on forums that are approaching 500whp on stock internals.

very nice car, love the color, enjoy it.

Why is everyone hating on american cars? I wouldn't be surprised if some of you have never owned an american car and are just talking from word of mouth. American v8's are made to last, there are a lot more american cars from the 80s in the street running strong than there are japanese cars from that time. I like both american and japanese have nothing against neither.
