    Been looking at an ECU tune and sole to my insurer and they say that the mod will put the price up £70 (On top of the £250 one off payment for the tune). Are the performance gains worth it in your experience? I find the car revvy enough in the low end, it's just lacks a but of pull on...

    I've come across a strange thing which I'd like to confirm with the wider community. My cruise control goes up and down by 5Kph (Australia) increments with I short press +/- keys and 10Kph when long pressing. I actually prefer 1kph (to compensate for my non-standard tyres which require 3kph...

    I have a 2011 Mazda 3 2.5L with a K&N Typhoon cold air intake, 18 Inch wheels and Magnaflow Cat-Back exhaust. How can I maximize these mods to increase my power?
  4. Engine / Drivetrain
    Hi Folks, Hope everyone is doing well. The kinda question perhaps been raised already many times, but better to ask myself. I have a mazda 3 1.5 (100HP) 2014. I really like the car but i feel not enough torque and it's making me quite unhappy in a way. I don't want to change the car since I...

    I would like to increase the air intake of cold air to the stock airbox of the 3 Hatch Sky. Looking at the intake points, one is near the opening of the hood and the second tube goes down and I can't see where it takes air. Does anyone have diagrams of the airbox and its air intake points. It...
  8. 2010-2013 Mazda 3 & Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    I'm putting this here because it is a handling/structural topic, yet it deals with the interior. As some of you may have read in my previous posts, I wish I had the hatch model right now for transporting some equipment I have on a regular basis. I decided that it would not be a good idea to...

    I moved from a place about 700 feet above sea level and filling up with 87 octane gas. Now I'm living in a place a 5280 feet (a mile) above sea level using 85 octane. Back at my old place, a full tank of gas would give me a range of about 416 miles after filling up, according to that console...

    Hey all, I'm a member of a lot of forums for various vehicles and motorcycles. I love how you guys stickied the thread about the Corksport sway bar. That's going to be my first change! In other forums, there's usually a list of mods with the level of difficulty, price and benefit stickied so...

I was getting a reading of 30.2 mpg on the display from February to June. Since June I am now commuting 15 miles a day. My reading on the display has...

    I have a stock 2010 MS3. I've noticed in 3rd I can get to full boost somewhere around what feels like half throttle. Between that point and flooring it to WOT it doesn't seem like there's much increase in acceleration. Is this normal? Thanks!
  13. 2010-2013 Mazda 3 & Skyactiv Discussion
    I have been doing some reading, and it seems to me that if you add an air intake, you increase your miles per gallon by 1-2. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I'm looking to get the most mpg out of my vehicle.

    John Hine Mazda in San Diego, CA is selling a "recently shipped" Mazda 3 S 6 manual for about $470 more than an earlier model. Is there a differene (modifications/ improvement to the more recently shipped cars)? I'm wondering what the extra $470 goes to and if it's worth it. Please see info...
