Hello everyone, just picked up a new to me Genpu 2010 Mazdaspeed 3, and have been lurking around this site for a bit. Looking for some like minded local MS3 tuners to bounce questions off of and maybe do some meet ups.

Welcome to the forum. Any mods done on your Genpu from the previous owner?

No mods done from previous owner that I can tell, the windows were tinted poorly and the headlights, tail lights were smoked tinted and there is a K&N stock style filter in it. But other than that, pretty much stock. The RMM is still stock.

Cool. You're lucky you found one in such good condition. Mind if I ask how much you paid?

What mods do you plan on making to her?

You may want to check out the below blog post that CS put up yesterday. It discusses some of the issues with the car and ways for handling them... and some modding tips.

I paid 13.5k for it down here in San Diego. Today I installed Wind diffusers, Bayson R front and rear lip kit, Corksport power II SRI and TIP, Rally Armor Mud Flaps, 7000K interior lights and license plate bulbs, plasti dipped rear wheels, with red lugs and valve cap, loaded stage 1+ OTS cobb map via V3 access port.

I still have my Corksport Catback, Corksport HPFP internals, and Cobb RMM to install. I also need to sand blast and refinish/paint some engine parts to compliment the red and black look. I also have an extra Corksport RMM that I don't need for 120$ if anyone needs one.

That car is coming together nicely. I'm doing the Murdered out Red and Black look. Really wish there were people in the area to hang out and help, but I'm getting it done myself.

I was going to go to the OC autoexchange to pick up the one up there. But I convinced the dealer down here to match the price for an 2010 with 61k miles.

There is a nice stock black 2013 down here at John Hein Mazda with 18k miles. (Basically new) for just under 20k.
