@@MarcGismondi ah look, a Mazdaspeed 3 driver, my brother has a MPS6 mate, same engine and he bought it with a blown up engine. If you have 400hp or more in the 2.3t you will have to check and possibly rebuild it many times.
@@RottenWeeblet do you expect a 4 cyl to last with 400hp on a stock motor? at that point your brother is the idiot, build the motor and be done with it, mine makes 500whp and it takes 36lbs of boost more then twice a day.
I said it once and I’ll say it again..this is the most esoteric car in the tuner community.. it seems that this car responds to every type of bolt on you can think of.. I have a 2012 MS3 with hpfp fuel internals , and the Garret 3071 turbo/ screamer pipe.. nothing else , hell I’m still on the stock intake with a better turbo inlet pipe and it’s just a blast to drive..
It isn't a necessarily aero dirty vehicle but 150MPH in any FWD econobox is asking to eat it. My SVT Focus is very sketchy at its realistic top speed of 135MPH (those who claim to have taken it to 140MPH+ are lying or didn't live to tell the tale :)
@@jnd227 Bro my MK V GTI was smooth as butter at 140. Would take long sweepers at that speed like it was nothing. I had really good Michelin’s on it though.
@@emotionz3 The Mazda 3's are not really the typical weak "econoboxes". They're very good handling cars and overall pretty aerodynamic for how cheap they are. Specially the MPS/MazdaSpeed variants. They can handle 150MPH/240+ fairly easily. All you need is good tires and a good 4 wheel alignment.
I bought a Speed 3 new in 09 and was impressed. Thought it was fast and was sleeper, used to piss people off all the time. The next year I traded it in for a 370Z that had about another 60+hp stock. Did a bit of tuning to the Z with CAI and exhaust maybe had 350hp. Was driving home one day in the Interstate and saw a speed 3 and thought I would fuck with him knowing exactly how fast the MSP3 was. I passed him doing 120 and had about 10 car lengths on him as I ran it up to the limiter of 155 and when I looked back he was ON MY BUMPER!!!! So I moved over and gave him a 👍🏻
I had an 09 as well. Best looking year in my opinion. Definately the most fun I’ve had in a compact. Everything from the smoke screen on hard acceleration to the crazy torque steer gave it tons of character.
I've had my 3MPS 2011 for a few years now and it is totally standard apart from HPFP internals and motor mounts. It's a superb car although the suspension is a bit unforgiving- I got just over 155mph (250 kph) in Europe ( I'm not saying where! ) - but I can only imagine what 562HP is like - haha I think I'd have a heart attack trying to keep it in a straight line. Great video.
My girlfriend has 1 also its a funny car and pretty damn fast indeed. To be really honest i actually prefer it over my 550iM haha. But over 160 it gets really noisy and a you lose the feeling with the car. Over 200 i think its to fast for the car, but if it can 250 i might just be a pussy. My wife never went over 180.
Regarding the motormounts, Do you feel any extra vibration from aftermarket ones? I am looking into replacing it on mine but since i am using it as a daily i dont want to have my steeringwheel vibrating like im on a track or something.
@@Agent-K - I used genuine Mazda mounts for the 2 top ones but a Cobb replacement for the rear, as it's much better at absorbing the forces generated when you take off fast from a standing start - because of this the feel of the motor as regards to vibration etc is no different than standard. I'm never going to use it on the track, so for me it was an easy choice.
I loved my Mazda 3 MPS that was stock, I still think its one of the best looking hatchbacks straight from the showroom. However even with 260bhp the torque steer on some road surfaces was "fun". This thing must be horrifying in certain circumstances, not for the faint hearted.
I had the 6 MPS, two of them back to back, loved the power and handling, good looking car too. Engine was too soft though, con rod and turbo problems, both cars were standard aswell.
Yeah. Well, for most parts it's absolutely fine, I have sport suspension in mine though. It just never fails to surprise me. I barely had ever felt any torque steer and then I once went on the Autobahn (just like any other day) and this thing went just absolutely crazy. I felt the urgue to talk to my baby after that, I loved every second of it. I don't know what exactly happened and why it felt this damn fast, conditions? No idea. If you keep it coming and play very tight with the gas it's just a bull (300 HP on mine).
I absolutely love my MPS BL. Too bad rules are way too strict towards tuning here in Switzerland but I still modified it. It looks kinda badass with a sport suspension, carbon parts and different exhaust. Would love a bigger spoiler but that's too obvious for police :P 230'000 km and still without any trouble towards engine and stuff yet, roughly 300 HP.
I have an 09 MS3, built and setting @ 486hp. I'm so impressed with the complete package that I'm in the process of stripping out an all-wheel 07 MS6 and stuffing it in an older Escort GT. Then the real fun begins... 😉
12:00 As a former 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 owner, I can confirm that "hopped up on cocaine" describes the car pretty well. 😂 Same color. When I first got the car I did a 4000 rpm clutch dump and my engine HIT THE FIREWALL and left a dent in the heat blankets. With some solid engine mounts it solved that problem, but then every engine sound was transmitted to the cabin of the car to the point where you could hear the transmission synchros engaging as you were shifting. I kinda miss that car. Holy crap did it understeer though. All the time. It just PLOWED on the track. Oh it was fun running people down with that big smiley face though. 😁
Still kept my 2012 MPS3 at a conservative 300hp/470Nm@1.2bar ... Cured the torque steer by having a much linear boost delivery(stock tune tend to boost spike), 235/40/18 + solid RMM ...that's it. I'm still using oem left/right mount.
Why I feel like 2.3L for a Turbo 4-cyl is the magic number? The good old Saab B235 2.3L Turbo, Ford 2.3L Ecotec, Mazda Speed 2.3L Turbo, Honda/Acura RDX 2.3L Turbo etc..
I had a second generation MPS for about 7 years. Had a stage 1 tune and some suspension mods. Tbh it was not a great daily driver and not even close to being the best driving hot hatch. VAG's mqb platform cars with the 2L EA888 engines are far superior to this - better handling and better power delivery (E.g. mk7 GTI). Not saying it was a bad car but it was definately not well designed and not at all well balanced. Road noise was effing terrible and it did not feel very stable at freeway speeds. Understeered and torque steered a lot too. Was reliable though.
@@kevildub You're a liar, dude, you didn't have this car.. MPS 3 is a much better car than the GTI, more powerfull and a better handling platform. Even stock, MPS has K04 turbo while GTI has K03. MPS has LSD, GTI has none.
@@Aramis_Production why so triggered by my comment? Do you own one? Is that why you're so defensive about it? I'm not knocking the MPS... As I said I used to own one and I spent a lot of money and put many hours into maintaining it. I'm just giving my insight as I know the car very well. It was a fun, reliable car - but it was flawed in a lot of ways. It was even regarded by Mazda as a bit of a misadventure into the hot hatch market - hence part of the reason why they haven't bothered making another one. The things you mentioned about the GTI are related to the MK 6. The MK 6 GTI was one of the cars I considered when a got my MPS new in 2011. Also considered an ST focus. The bigger power and LSD in the MPS swayed me towards getting the MPS. If you read my comment properly, you'd see I was referring to a MK 7 GTI, which is a much better daily driver than an MPS, features an LSD (on several models), and has an engine which offers more bang for buck in terms of tuning/modifying. Maybe next time you should think before throwing insults out at people and maybe learn not to take things too personally.
@@kevildub No GTI engine offers more bang for the buck, dude. You are just blowing air, not knowing this platform at all probably. Mazdaspeed platform is easy to tune, the power gains reached 800+ HP with relative less money than other platforms. In the US there's a lot of companies offering tuning parts for MS3. And yes, I own one since 2008. The OEM engine lasted me 7 years and died due to some damn counterfeit Dexelia oil. Rebuilt it twice since then now getting conservatively 420 HP. And is my daily driver.
@@Aramis_Production dude, I love how you don't really address any point I'm trying to make but instead go off on random rants about 700hp engines. The original comment which we are replying on said that the MPS was a good car - I'm not disagreeing, in fact I owned one so I obviously liked the car. He said that they are a good all rounder - I disagree with this. I daily drove it for years, often in traffic. The ride was crashy, the NVH was bad (Mazdas of this era were notorious for bad NVH levels), the clutch was heavy as, and the gear shift was not the most pleasant either. Also, the engine had heaps of turbo lag by today's standards in turbo hatches - that's why I drew a comparison with a mk7 GTI which in my opinion (and probably in keeping with the opinion of the majority of people) is a much better daily driver. When I mentioned the EA888 motor offering better bang for buck, I was referring to bolt-on mods. The EA888 gains heaps of power with simple stage 1 or stage 2 bolt-ons. Most people would only do basic mods like this so it is relevant to most people. You mentioned 700hp... Most people aren't going to do this and honestly I'm not sure why you would in a FWD hatch. I mean, the 3 MPS chassis could barely handle the stock levels of power and torque. My point is the MPS was a fun car but it was flawed in a few significant ways, especially when compared to more contemporary fast hatches. Don't take it personally and enjoy your car.
It's a different dimension of acceleration from my Mazdaspeed 3. Unlike me, who lives in Japan, I envy that I can demonstrate this potential on a daily basis.
Greetings and hat off from the owner of the quickest and most powerful 3MPS/Mazdaspeed3 which still complies the factory emissions standard :) 3MPS BK 2008, 711Nm/509PS on the previous engine (current one won't go past 480 or so and 650-ish Nm), 100-200 in 6.9 and 60-100mph in 4th in 3.62s, max rev limit 7150 because no additional PI apart from 1200cc/min WMI, dual catted exhaust and stock manifolds with fully functional EGR. I absolutely love when people do this kind of things to their cars and leave the exterior and interior stock-ish, fully functional and even improve it. FWD FTW! Let's go!
I had a 2012 for 4 years with mild bolt ons/tune. Kept getting this "feeling" it was going to blow up. A week after I sold it the new owner crashed and totaled it. I'm not superstitious but feel like I knew it's time was coming lol.
Despite not having that power or anything close to that and me only doing 75-80. The pop at 13:10 gave me ptsd of my 2010 ms3 blowing cylinders on a shift between 5th and 6th while passing someone
No lie, ive driven a 400hp sti and im more scared to drive my own 320hp speed3. The sti just goes fast. The speed3 with the torqe steer and fwd tires spinning scares me. Its makes my heart race like hell.
I had no driving stability issues running 250+ for prolonged periods in my mk1 MPS, even maxing out the 270 limiter, with slighty smaller diameter tyres than stock. Is the alignment off or dampers changed, since its "off" above 230? No doubt it would do 300 easy. :)
I drove 222 km/h GPS in my Mazda 3 Diesel today to get some basil seeds from Dehner. I wouldn't call the car sketchy, it's just the hood moving around so much that you think you didn't close it properly.
Love the video as I own a 2011 Silver MS3. The stock wheels are 18 inch not 19 as you said, but I might of missed hearing you say they were aftermarket.
@@oetic5016 lmao they are so far from overrated. They’re the only affordable Japanese performance cars left. Everything else has jacked up prices and don’t perform nearly as well as the MPS
@@oetic5016 overrated? I have never seen one in my life except mine. They´re cheap as fuck. The Type R, Focus RS and i30N are overrated. They still cost more than 25.000€. The MPS just abaout 7-8k. With the same Power since 2005 in the speed 6. It can´t be an overrated car if 99% of people you ask doesn´t even know that this car exists. 😂
I had an 09 MPS 3 or as they were called mazdaspeed 3 here in the US for 8 years. It was a fun and reliable car all the time I owned it. Had it tuned and with bolt ons to 310 whp and 320wtq. Was pretty fast and fun. I can imagine this beast. I kinda regret selling it tho. I kept it in amazing shape and babied the hell out of it.
@@itisjustacomment yes there are way more hatches in Europe, but there are arguably only 3 hatches that are better than this car, mini JP, golf r and, civic type r
I think the most tunable cars in the UK and Europe are the Audi Rs3/4, BMW 3 series, Ford Fiesta ST and Focus ST and RS. The A35 and A45 Mercs used to be big favourites, but I prefer the N30i. I used to drive a Fiesta ST, then an Audi S3 and RS3. I also had a 335i, which was great, but I prefer having more space. I briefly had an M3, but the cost was too high, so I switched to a 330 6 cylinder touring instead. The ride was not great on bad British roads. I did have a 235i (2014 at the time) in blue, which was a fantastic car. However, for long journeys , the X3 x drive 3 litre D is a great car. I used to work for BMW car leasing, so all the BMW above and also mini copper S I got as a company cars Copper went to my other half at the time while I had the audi S3. M products, we had to pay more and get them back to as new spec after that year or two of owning even stone chips which they did by full paint or new panels . So it wasn't worth the ownership. I've driven all the models as we got pushed into trying, so we knew the cars . Still owning one as older man now age 47 a X3 35d is the one as I got that twice while working there ,as I loved that car , The ones I had were fully loaded thou so that helped . But it's still great, just not in larger size up run flat tires . The road noise was the worst. I've owned faster cars and had my fun, so it's time to own slightly fast X3 again, lol .
@@itisjustacomment I love the rs3 and amg but I feel like because of their price they are in a league of their own. It’s unfair to compare a $10,000 Mazda. The ford st is very similar but it is all preference. I like the bmw especially the x3m but I wish they made more in standard transmission. It’s rare to find a new bmw in manual here.
We have an MS3 and the turbo is always ready to go, and the sound is really nice. With an Accessport and COBB we got it to spin all the way to 3rd gear lol. Really fun car to tune and mess with imo.
Love the modded older car reviews. It’s awesome to see what people get up to in NL. You should try to get a big single turbo N54 on I reckon you’d have a blast. 😎
Concerning the engine bay temp+turbo it is a very good idea to have extractor fans(with heat sensor+temp gauge) with a switch(on demand) to instantly evacuate hot air from engine bay..I have done this with well placed fans in my 5 cyl turbo VOLVO and don't have to worry about too much heat inside the engine bay..be in control of that heat...!!!!! ,especially when driving during hot days slow/stuck in traffic(happens a lot these days)..!!!!

I mean, the 3 MPS chassis could barely handle the stock levels of power and torque.
My point is the MPS was a fun car but it was flawed in a few significant ways, especially when compared to more contemporary fast hatches. Don't take it personally and enjoy your car.
It's a different dimension of acceleration from my Mazdaspeed 3. Unlike me, who lives in Japan, I envy that I can demonstrate this potential on a daily basis.
sounds like the Mazda RT24-P when it comes on cam after 5k rpms
That motor is a bespoke MZR derivative (MZR-R), so that makes sense.
Greetings and hat off from the owner of the quickest and most powerful 3MPS/Mazdaspeed3 which still complies the factory emissions standard :) 3MPS BK 2008, 711Nm/509PS on the previous engine (current one won't go past 480 or so and 650-ish Nm), 100-200 in 6.9 and 60-100mph in 4th in 3.62s, max rev limit 7150 because no additional PI apart from 1200cc/min WMI, dual catted exhaust and stock manifolds with fully functional EGR.
I absolutely love when people do this kind of things to their cars and leave the exterior and interior stock-ish, fully functional and even improve it.
FWD FTW! Let's go!
Mk1 ftw!
It's a pretty cool Mazda 3, not aggressive, I love it!!
i have a mps here in the neighbor with stage 3 and a straight pipe and blow off valve. sounds lovely!
It was totally unexpected!!! Incredible Mazda, My favorite model of this nice brand of all times!!
Man this car got bumped up to 700hp now!!! Matthew is scary! Luv it!!
Proud owner of a 2013 mazdaspeed! these cars pull hard in lower gears specially with bolt ons. Next turbo and cam upgrade
It’s so beautiful. much more fun to watch MPS instead of mainstream BMW,Audi, Mercedes, etc
I had a 2012 for 4 years with mild bolt ons/tune. Kept getting this "feeling" it was going to blow up. A week after I sold it the new owner crashed and totaled it. I'm not superstitious but feel like I knew it's time was coming lol.
Owner: "After 230 it becomes sketchy"
Max: 13:20
Owned a 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 for 12 years. Even stock, they're eager to be driven hard. Sold it @ 167K miles and it was still running great.
Years ago i had a 323 gtx awesome littel Car!
Despite not having that power or anything close to that and me only doing 75-80. The pop at 13:10 gave me ptsd of my 2010 ms3 blowing cylinders on a shift between 5th and 6th while passing someone
Mazda is my favourite car.I have mazda 6 2.0 tdi 180hp.your mazda is beautiful and powerful.
No lie, ive driven a 400hp sti and im more scared to drive my own 320hp speed3. The sti just goes fast. The speed3 with the torqe steer and fwd tires spinning scares me. Its makes my heart race like hell.

I had no driving stability issues running 250+ for prolonged periods in my mk1 MPS, even maxing out the 270 limiter, with slighty smaller diameter tyres than stock. Is the alignment off or dampers changed, since its "off" above 230? No doubt it would do 300 easy. :)
Cool looking sleeper!
Its really fast!!!!!!
I drove 222 km/h GPS in my Mazda 3 Diesel today to get some basil seeds from Dehner. I wouldn't call the car sketchy, it's just the hood moving around so much that you think you didn't close it properly.
Love the video as I own a 2011 Silver MS3. The stock wheels are 18 inch not 19 as you said, but I might of missed hearing you say they were aftermarket.
The autotopnl is the best car reviewing keep going up
Naprosto nejlepší auto který jsi tam měl😃.Je úžasný 👏👍.
Gtrko bylo lepší
This is cool. Those arent stock wheels btw, they are mazda6/atenza 19 inch wheels. Look greaaaat
Love this design Mazda3, now it all same design for all mazda.
Absolutely brutal!!! Mazda rocks!!!!
When will these cars finally get the love they deserve?!
They've been overrated for years.
@@oetic5016 lmao they are so far from overrated. They’re the only affordable Japanese performance cars left. Everything else has jacked up prices and don’t perform nearly as well as the MPS
@@oetic5016 overrated? I have never seen one in my life except mine. They´re cheap as fuck. The Type R, Focus RS and i30N are overrated. They still cost more than 25.000€. The MPS just abaout 7-8k. With the same Power since 2005 in the speed 6. It can´t be an overrated car if 99% of people you ask doesn´t even know that this car exists. 😂
Hi dude, I'm from Mexico and I really like your videos, you ar so lucky to test that kind of cars. Keep going. :)
3 miles per second holy fuck thats quick dude
I had an 09 MPS 3 or as they were called mazdaspeed 3 here in the US for 8 years. It was a fun and reliable car all the time I owned it. Had it tuned and with bolt ons to 310 whp and 320wtq. Was pretty fast and fun. I can imagine this beast. I kinda regret selling it tho. I kept it in amazing shape and babied the hell out of it.
i always wanted a MS6 but loved the look of the early MS3
12:00 Describing the car as feeling "hooked up on Cocaine".... Max, I love you!! Hahaha!!!😆
It's funny that was actually my first car (not the mps tho) now I got a WRX STI that was tuned in Switzerland by a subaru tuner...
as if it is not so hardcore, but when I see the counter as it latches, I was a bit surprised heheh
I click on the video for the cars but stay for the cool accent.
Best car chanel
i have a 2011 mps, not as much power as that. only like 400hp but its still absolutely insane.
Nice to see these cars being tuned up.
In the states it’s almost impossible to find a stock mps.
@sav7123 I guess we have more hot hatches than you, so tuners tend to do better cars first.
@@itisjustacomment yes there are way more hatches in Europe, but there are arguably only 3 hatches that are better than this car, mini JP, golf r and, civic type r
I think the most tunable cars in the UK and Europe are the Audi Rs3/4, BMW 3 series, Ford Fiesta ST and Focus ST and RS. The A35 and A45 Mercs used to be big favourites, but I prefer the N30i. I used to drive a Fiesta ST, then an Audi S3 and RS3. I also had a 335i, which was great, but I prefer having more space. I briefly had an M3, but the cost was too high, so I switched to a 330 6 cylinder touring instead. The ride was not great on bad British roads. I did have a 235i (2014 at the time) in blue, which was a fantastic car. However, for long journeys , the X3 x drive 3 litre D is a great car. I used to work for BMW car leasing, so all the BMW above and also mini copper S I got as a company cars Copper went to my other half at the time while I had the audi S3.
M products, we had to pay more and get them back to as new spec after that year or two of owning even stone chips which they did by full paint or new panels . So it wasn't worth the ownership. I've driven all the models as we got pushed into trying, so we knew the cars .
Still owning one as older man now age 47 a X3 35d is the one as I got that twice while working there ,as I loved that car , The ones I had were fully loaded thou so that helped . But it's still great, just not in larger size up run flat tires . The road noise was the worst.
I've owned faster cars and had my fun, so it's time to own slightly fast X3 again, lol .
@@itisjustacomment I love the rs3 and amg but I feel like because of their price they are in a league of their own. It’s unfair to compare a $10,000 Mazda. The ford st is very similar but it is all preference. I like the bmw especially the x3m but I wish they made more in standard transmission. It’s rare to find a new bmw in manual here.
This is one of the rare times he’s driving an awesome hot hatch that we actually have in the states.
The car is amazing. Love it 👍
This covered exhaust manifold looks like a ginger root.
I love these cars
As quick as an M8 Competition but able to have a family car's mpg...
And on a low maintenance budget as well. For a 7sec car...
We have an MS3 and the turbo is always ready to go, and the sound is really nice. With an Accessport and COBB we got it to spin all the way to 3rd gear lol. Really fun car to tune and mess with imo.
I did 220 with my stock ms3 and it was like nothing. Love this car
I'm Lucky, i've got the same one , but stock , with 260 PS , but îs wonderfull ! Keep going !
I've got a 2010 Speed 3 with just a couple of bolt ons making 300/300. She's a hoot!!!
Love this MPS! Proper rapid pace haha hope to build mine up to this level one day 😆😆
Love the modded older car reviews. It’s awesome to see what people get up to in NL. You should try to get a big single turbo N54 on I reckon you’d have a blast. 😎
“These guys are having a drag race” lol

Place your bets
I just sold mine the other day. I miss it already 😢
Man I love my gen Juan I was close to selling it but decided to keep it and glad I am
Not bad for a Mazda 3 4 cylinder. I bet it bangs from a dig being light. Not a bad way to go for a sleeper.
My brother had one and the torque steer was crazy. They apparently made a 4wd version but limited amount.
I love all types of mazda cars esp_ 626 model 1998 ٠
Concerning the engine bay temp+turbo it is a very good idea to have extractor fans(with heat sensor+temp gauge) with a switch(on demand) to instantly evacuate hot air from engine bay..I have done this with well placed fans in my 5 cyl turbo VOLVO and don't have to worry about too much heat inside the engine bay..be in control of that heat...!!!!! ,especially when driving during hot days slow/stuck in traffic(happens a lot these days)..!!!!
i hope i can get this car as my first. Its such a sick car and ive wanted it ever since i first saw it
I love mazda
good old smiley MPS ladies and gentleman. Class car!
I got goosebumps watching this
And what cosumption?
YES!
That's stock mounted turbo...nice! That does not look like stock coil pack placement I want to look into this head there running!
Looks great 👌
we had 2012 mps in our family so much torque steer in stock form ;)
Love your presentation, keep it up!
That car pulls in high speed like the Balboni LP-550....Impressive
Ha! I have the exact same turbo on my Axela :D Good to know it can do more than I'm running it at.
I used to want this car when I was younger:). Now I got a BMW:) haha. this thing pulls just as strong in 2 and 3 gear as it does in 4 and 5th:).
Dikke auto, zag hem ook laatst nog op de rollebank video:D
