Brand New Mazda 3 Mps MY13

[ledfootrob]

Nice car mate, welcome. Straight into the mods, nice. Corksport do lowered springs too, just ordered some myself

Sweet who through led? I got quoted $450 for H&R without fitment, sounds high?

I paid about that for my H&R springs (springs only)



And welcome

[Wingsta]

Hey Caffeine, thanks I got quoted $345 from cork sport direct from the US so I guess just gotta decide which way to go.

There should not be any issues between gen 2 2009 to 2012 model springs or rates ,but to be sure go to dealer and check that part nos are the same first. Just maybe Mazda could have altered spring rates etc,but i doubt it.
Pedders and others probably do not have up to date catalouge ,so are hesitant to supply. Most catalouges are well behind model releases.
Hope that helps.

Hi all,

Name is Zane live in Brisbane new to the forum and the world of Mazda's. Traded my 05 WRX on a brand new Mazda 3 Mps today and so far I am really impressed. Hope to learn heaps from all the members here about my new love for all things Mazda. Will take some better photos in the days coming.

That was the one in the showroom floor... I nearly picked that one but opted for the white instead...

Welcome Love the black parts! I wish I would of known Mazda were going to make the MPS wheels in black before I went about powdercoating mine! Ohwell haha, I want the back bumper part of mine like the '13 mps's so bad, will get it done asap... Also, as I have the iPod connection in my SP I have a question about your usb connection... Can you go through artists a-z? and skip to say.... D or something? Because I'm slightly annoyed that when going through artists using the ipod connection I have to manually go through every single artist and cannot skip to whatever letter I want. I have over 900 artists so it takes forever

Welcome there mate, you certainly have chosen the right car! Absolutely loving the 2013 models and the exterior changes! Make sure you stick around on the forum, there's loads to read and learn on here which will only benefit you on the knowledge of these cars on the do's and dont's!

Cheers Lee

Hey cameron it doesn't seem you can I only have the option to randomly play all songs on the USB or per folder but no artist search

Ahh bummer! Same here... the suggestion in the manual for it is to make a playlist lol... hopefully it gets updated sometime.

Turbo downpipe, high flow cat and custom tune... epic power/ torque gain..

I am so jealous of those black rims dude. I chose the black but after looking at this I should have waited for the refresh and gone for the silver. Looks haawt.
