Hey mate, sorry for very very very late reply. But to answer your question, it holds pretty good. I've done my side mirrors and rear bumper diffuser too.

They are both fine. My only issue is that I had the CS tranny mount insert which gave me a whirring sound into the cabin at low speeds. That was annoying.
Performance wise, definitely recommend...
Hey mate,
Love the combo. But you hear the transmission very well on lower gears.
I thought it was the oil, so dumped fresh syntrans oil out and put vmx back in. Sound is still there.
Just means...
Go the CS bottom race mount, transmission insert and replace the top engine mount (oil filled) with stock. Don't change this top one to aftermarket.
Mate I'm not going to cry over $20. And I can confirm with certainty because I've got the old plugs and they are stamped "FoMoCo.......SILTR6A7G"
Gen 1 MPS used 0.8mm gap, Gen 2 MPS use 0.7mm gap.
Gen 2 is 75W80 as per owners manual. 75W85 meets the viscosity spec of 75W80.
And I'm positive gen 1 was 75W80.
Read the thread
Can't see how a 75W90 spec oil could work. The viscosity numbers are wrong for the type of seal that's in the gearbox. If it is working, I reckon you've got a problem in the gearbox.
Hey mate, I have a gen 2, so oil spec is straight 80 or castrol syntrans 75W85.
Oh wow....that sums it up.
Got the CS rear mount, tranny insert and a new OEM top mount - the front end feels so much stiffer and you can actually feel the tranny and engine. Awesome and so glad I...
So got report back from Mazda that bottom engine mount had a small cut in it. So given that they had it out to inspect, they ended up installing the CS race bottom mount and installed the...
OK so Ive got brand new unused CS bottom engine mount inserts for SALE. Anyone interested?
Good question, waiting on formal quote. Approx. around $200 incl install. Ill be able to confirm when the part arrives.
Ok if it hasn't already been confirmed, I just had the 100K service done on my car. Asked for the stock plugs to be returned, the plugs are stamped "FoMoCo.....SILTR6A7G"
This part number matches...
Sorry, I supplied the CS mounts and insert. They are supplying the Mazda mount.
Work done at Sutherland Mazda, NSW, great team.
Just clicked 100,000 kms on the car (Gen 2 MPS 3) and dropped it in for service today. I got the guys to install the CS tranny mount and inspect the other two (bottom engine and top engine mount, the...
I'll get them to check the current condition of the motor mount given that car is going for100K service.
If stock mount is in good condition then I might give the tranny and engine mount inserts a...
Hey mate, I've got my delivery from corksport. I ordered the tranny and engine mount inserts and also got the rear race mount. Which would be the best combination?

My apologies, I can swear that someone posted earlier that gen 1 take 75W90.
If the specification states 75W80 then I would recommend VMX80 or if you want synthetic, use syntrans 75W85.
One...
Guys, vmx80 is only for gen 2 MPS. For gen 1, use AMSOIL 75W90 or castrol transmax 75W90. Both these are synthetics.

Check EGR valve. Guaranteed it is the problem child.
Give it a good clean, while you are at it, clean the piping.
Car: Gen 2 Mazda 3 MPS (BL Series 1)
Speaking to Mazda service looks like they stock Denso plugs. From my conversation with Denso Australia, they are pre-gapped to 1.1mm
Reading the workshop...
Easily fixed by cleaning out valve and pipe. Done with throttle body cleaner or the like.

I had the same issue at around 49,000 km. Ended up being EGR valve. I've now done 96,000 km and having same issue. Easy to diagnose this time...lol

Hello MPS Club members.
My MPS is up for sale, if anyone is chasing one or knows someone looking for one, can you please send them my way?

The upgrade obviously means you have to repair your devices. Sound quality drops given that Bluetooth 4.0 profile makes it so. Other than that, no issues...works like a charm
It's just called a...
