Loved the video, ordered them myself only to come to the conclusion the speed 3 hood doesnt have the same mountingholes. Could have seen it comming because of the hoodscoop but just quietly hoped it would works without drilling holes. Sad times.
Ah no! That sucks! I would of assumed that they would fit on a speed3 too! 😕
I have a Gen2 Speed3 (MPS in the UK/Aus/EU), purchased a set of very similar ones to these in the video (AliX) just a different brand name. They did fit, albeit slightly angled as there's what I'm assuming is a popper hole for the hood lining (my car has never had hood lining).
The one issue I faced was that the Battery Box got in the way of the one on the right, and prevented the bonnet from closing.
I removed that and the one on the left works alone just fine. Plus when it goes from the strain, I can use the other as a replacement. 😅
I'll probably try and find one of the smaller ones for the other side, universal jobbie and make it work just to support the left one.
Damn shame Corksport stopped doing the bonnet struts.
Nice, I don't think I could ever justify doing it myself though :P
Yeah I understand! There's a lot of other mods most people would do before this 👍
Have you noticed any differences in opening or closing the hood? Any extra stress on the hood? When closed? Thanks
Yes the hood is fairly stiff to close and when you pull the leaver to pop it there is also a fair amount of tension, like it pops right away, as if it spring loaded.
Want to do it to mine but won't do unless there's a way to mount it to the side not the strut bolts
Yeah that makes sense, one of my friends as that type of hood struts on his Mazdaspeed 3 just not sure where he got them
Wait until you get some engine improvements.
Defiantly looking forward to getting headers and a tune!
Would appreciate a detailed video guide.
Do you think it will fit the mazdaspeed3?
Hey no unfortunately someone else with a Speed tried it in the comments and mentioned it didn't fit on his car.
