A lot of these things rotted to hell in the midwest, meaning that seeing clean ones on the road is almost an anomaly and makes them seem a bit more special.
Bought an 08 speed 3 a year ago and the very next day picked up big turbo cst5 and man this thing is definitely my favorite car I've ever owned and this is car #8 in my life.
I love Mazda and the Mazda community, their cars are fun, interesting, affordable. My first car was a base trim i4 2006 Mazda3 sedan and I loved that car so much even though it was nothing special. It was so much more fun to drive and daily than the Civic I test drove, the suspension was just amazing. That car led me to learnign about cars and how to repair them / diagnose stuff (not too many things were wrong with it though, The PCV valve went bad at 130k miles and that was a pain to replace cus its located under the intake manifold, but It was glorious when I finally replaced that and it ran flawlessly again). I now own a manual 2021 Mazda3 hatch with the beautiful red leather interior (the 4th gen Mazda3s look AMAZING in the interior and exterior) and the 4th gen manual is SO smooth and fun to drive, and I now also own a 1990 Miata (I wanted an ND2 Miata at first but got the manual 2021 Mazda3 instead for "practicality" and then shortly after the stars aligned and I happened to get the NA miata 😅).
Had a 2010 for 5 years. Took good care of it and never had a problem. Loved that car! Torque steer is real 🚗💥💨🔥 Clean your injectors people those direct injectors gets dirty and make your poorly flowing cylinder #3 goes 💥
i just bought a red mazdaspeed3 from 2011 yesterday with 102.000 kilometers on it or 63.379 miles been looking for a good one for over year and i finaly got it, i can pick it up at the dealer a week from now. 😃
On a Serious note though:- HPFPI before breathing. Timing Chain/VVT every ~80k. Oil Change every 3-4k. COBB AP for if you don't care about EGR Delete, Versatune otherwise (might be worth finding which tuner you want to use and see which they'd prefer). There's a list of do's and don'ts you can find on the forums/FB groups on how to not destroy them too. Love the vid, seeing these in newer vids is always nice! In the UK our lot tend to end up parting out their cars because they just don't hold value, at least in the eyes of the people, which is a shame 'cos it means some really tasty ones get stripped for more value and are gone forever. They're hellishly fun and sound good IMO.
Just bought my speed fbo for the most part bnr s4 mounts sway bars and it’s so much fun gonna get it retuned for big powa because it’s tuned on wastegate right now we think so only 12psi but already beat a focus st so that’s all I care about😜
Nice list dude, would myself only add valve cleaning and injector cleaning/check to it. These DI engines tend to get caked in junk real fast. After that, go ham 👌🏻 (until the turbo blows, then just get a bigger turbo with some small supporting mods, run 350 to max 380hp all day and never look back 😂)
Cobalt SS turbo owner here; are timing chain problems common with 2000's boosted motors? Is that just a thing? Bc we have to change ours after about 100k too.
Seriously get the high pressure fuel pump before ANYTHING. As far a tuner goes, the guy before me that sold it was using Versatune, you can pretty much do whatever you need to with that. 1st Gen owner here!
I did the same thing, jdm motor at 60k miles then the turbo and motor mounts took a shit. Now it’s almost done being put together with Garrett turbo, race solid motor mounts, hpfpi, and other loads of goodies after a year of sitting.
just bought a mazdaspeed 3 MPS a month and a half ago, this video is incredibly handy! especially since i'm planning on getting it on bags and some ssr wheels.
As a P1 Volvo owner (shares same chassis with this gen mazda 3), these cars handle great as a daily with barely any suspension mods. dont know shit about drivetrain for these cars but i can say its a great chassis!
Ive had my speed 3 for 3 years now and while i havent been able to modify it as much as i like (college student) ive had so much fun driving and owning it. Current sitting on godspeed coilovers and fifteen52 turbomac wheels
I loved my Speed3, had the car for 13 years. Sadly cylinder 1 decided to drop to 25lbs of compression with the sparkplug being wet fouled. So time for me to replace it. Tempted to just buy a new car and then work on fixing the MS3 in my spare time. Always good to have a hobby :D
Love how your videos are now less focused on wheels/tires/suspension post-FI. Ofc that's an important part of modifying a car, and FI is a company that SELLS that stuff so that was understandably the priority, but going over stuff like the HPFP and the timing chain is absolutely important. Nonetheless, great advice with the wheels.
I’ve got a 2012 speed3, a 2000 Miata and a grom and I love all of them. I found my speed with like 75k miles clean title for 12 grand and drove it for a year only to have someone hit it and run while I was at work and destroy the whole bumper :(
Step 1:- HPFPI (Corksport or Autotech). Step 2:- Quit while you're ahead and stop there, ORRRRR fall into the money pit but have fun along the way while getting comments for having something a bit different.
Yooo had mine for 5 years now and if you look after it and CHECK your oil, you’ll have a great time. Reason I‘m saying that is because I drive around with 3 4-liter buckets of oil in the back to top that thing back up every 1000km because it is the only issue I‘m having with it haha I’ve got 220k km with 310hp and never had an issue.
07 MPS since 2012; fully built Overspeed block by Jordan paired with a CST5 and ethanol blend pushing 500whp. The damn thing continues to want to tear the steering wheel out of my hands on 3rd gear pulls.
I love my ms3 I have only have owned it for one summer and I don’t winter drive it because of all the mods and I have semi slicks but I have been counting down the days till summer so I can rip this thing again and hopefully not blow it up😅🤘
Any tips for a 2013 speed3 owner? Ive had the car for a couple years now. I feel like the power delivery varies from drive to drive , even more so lately. It has an unknown exhaust that sounds good and a cobb drop in filter.
Yo! Ive got a base 2nd gen as my first car and would love to do some power mods to it, I’ve got some skirts and wheels, but I just have not been able to find anything good power wise. I don’t see anything available in your guys website either 🤷🏽 does anyone have recommendations on where I should look?
@@jamesrather1510 I bought a 2 owner 86,000 miles speed for $2000 for a donor motor for my big turbo it was grandma driven half it’s life and high school driven the other half has amazing compression runs good
@@andruwwilson8367yep. They’re out there. Just gotta look. Waited for an “unmolested” example for about 2 years before finally pulling the trigger on a gen 1. So worth
I own one. Video lacks some of the intricacies required to know to really enjoy the car (clean those ports boys and girls). But a cool car if you have one.
It would be great if you can do one on a Tahoe/escalade/yukon/suburban for those of us who don’t wanna “donk/bling out” ours… Or a 1 ga eclipse…thx in advance
WTF how dare you.. ignore the 1st gen Speed3 which is so different from the ones on that video... BK and BL generations ... are you serious man ??? so you didn't find any video / pics with a 1st gen ?? hahaha You tell the MS3 need a high pressure fuel pump.... totally wrong. All the 2.3 DISI (aka L3K9 engines) have a HPFP by default... a high pressure fuel pump. So you may talk about the upgrade for the Internal, not the HPFP itself !! Com'on man ! For the timing kit... WRONG again... the timing kits from the 1st generation (BK from 2007 to 2009) had the unmodified and unreliable timing kit.. because of a bad conception of the VVT. So once you're buying a BL , I mean a gen2 mazdaspeed 3, then everything should be fine and no need to change the VVT !! SO instead of yelling like a freak , selling tshirts, try to work a bit harder when you make videos :p AND you talk about COBB AccessPort ... again you just ignore that VersaTuner is making a proper and better solution for tuning ONLY Mazda vehicles.. so just leave the Cobb in the past especially since Cobb AP cost more and only give the benefit of having a small little computer able to log or update your ECU depending on your needs / maps (that looks ugly in my opinion...)

@@turbo_co27 I would say that's a fair amount of miles out of it.
HPFP and VVT are the first two things to do, then go ham. I make about 400WHP on E30, and let me tell you, it tries to drive off the road at WOT. 😂
Seriously get the high pressure fuel pump before ANYTHING. As far a tuner goes, the guy before me that sold it was using Versatune, you can pretty much do whatever you need to with that. 1st Gen owner here!

I own a gen 1 2008 ms3 and its fun as heck. Its bone stock with an Cobb intake 😅. 5 years of ownership
did you have a tune for the intake?
@@dustinsuba_19you'll need a new tune for a bigger intake. I'd also recommended upgraded hpfp internals before doing anything to it
@@luuk4143 is there something specific about mazdas ECM that requires that? dont know anyone thats getting a tune for an intake on most other cars...
Bout damn time the speeds got some love. Have had mine for 4 years and my buddie just got one because of mine
I miss my Mazdaspeed3. I’ve been looking for another one with low miles. Hard to find now a days.
Its only fair to do the Focus ST... next the Bootleg Mazdaspeed3
