Hi guys.
I'm thinking of getting a pair of 9006/HB4 Cree LEDs for the fog lights.

Morning all,
Took my Gen 1 MPS 3 into Mazda this morning for a service and they asked if I wanted to get a fuel injection clean for about $160.
Does it make much difference getting the fuel...
Hi all,
I've got a 3A Racing pod filter for my SRI. How do I go about cleaning it? Am I able to simply rinse it out with water?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure I don't get a "wong wong" noise when doing a sharp turn at low speed. I know what you're talking about though, I used to get that noise when using the Mazda gearbox oil.
This is...
I don't know about the sound being normal mate. It wasn't happening before..
Hi everyone. I hope you guys can help me with an issue I am experiencing.
My car went in for a 100,000km service 2 weeks ago and the gearbox oil was replaced some sort of Penrite oil instead of...
What had heaps and heaps of pad left?
Hi all,
My Gen 1 MPS 3 has done nearly 100,000km. The front rotors and pads have been replaced about 10,000km ago but just wondering how long the rear pads and rotors typically last before needing...
So I was pulling out of the garage today and as soon as I put my Gen 1 MPS 3 into reverse, the rear parking sensors started beeping for no reason.
This is the second time I've experienced this....
Hi all,
I've got a Gen 1 MPS 3 and have recently developed this whine that happens on a cold start. The whine is noticeable from around 2000 RPM to 1500 RPM. Once the revs drop below 1500 RPM, the...
Hi all,
I am experiencing a wong wong noise when driving straight/cruising along. It seems like the noise is most obvious in 4th gear (~60kph).
Is this a gearbox oil issue or something else?
...
Hey all!
I had my 70k service recently and was told I needed new front rotors (too thin to machine apparently) and pads.
I am after a rotor and pad combo that provides comparable performance...
Okay just an update. I called Mazda Australia, they couldn't really help but suggested I discuss the issue with an actual Mazda dealer so I spoke to the General Manager at the Mazda dealer I usually...
Yeah I'm aware that it's a common issue with these cars. I ran out of warranty 1.5 years ago. Is it still worth contacting Mazda HQ?
Hi all,
Thought I'd bring this thread back to life. I had my car serviced by Mazda and they said that the water pump is leaking slightly on my Gen 1 MPS 3. I have noticed my coolant reservoir...
Go to a second hand dealer and test drive one for yourself ;)
I'm up to 63k on the OEM tyres now. The fronts are pretty much screwed now (haven't rotated them in a while) but the rears are still above wear indicator. Will be replacing the fronts this weekend =)
Hmm I think it was an encounter with the automatic garage door I had earlier.
The antenna base is now loose.
Random question but is it just me or do you guys have a small gap between your antenna and the roof? I noticed there's a small gap on the front and rear of the antenna surrounding if you're looking...
Oh the annoying cowl rattle. Funnily enough, it happens on my Gen 1 when the weather gets warm and not when it's cold like mentioned. I never heard it rattle throughout the whole of winter but since...
Mine doesn't feel as fast as when I first got it either. I think it's a mental thing :whistle:
Yeah that's it.
I've got a bit of a story to share which is a bit embarrassing too. Went against a Astra SRi Turbo TS (older model). I had wheel-spin galore in 1st and 2nd (tyres are pretty bald so I lost a bit of...
The Gen 1 MPS 3 is much the same. I've owned my car for nearly 2 years and still cannot get consistent smooth shifts. 1-2 shifts are the worst. As mentioned earlier, the clutch is too bitey.
