Just wanted to say thanks
 

I just wanted to post up something to show my appreciation for this forum, the members, and all of the info on it. I don’t think I’ve ever posted on here, except for once when I first bought my car. Without posting at all, I have lurked MSF for countless hours and obtained a crazy amount of knowledge about my 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. I currently have installed the following mods in order:

CS LED Kit & Fogs
Cobb AP
CS RMM Inserts
CS SRI/TIP
JBR RSB
JBR 5mm wheel spacers
Autotech FP Internals

I have the following mods on order (hopefully install them all next weekend, but may have to spread between two weekends):

CS Racepipe
CS solid shifter bushings
CS short shift plate
Ford XT-M5-QS transmission fluid
CS TMIC
NGK (6510) LTR7IX-11 (one step colder) plugs
CS Cold Air Box

I know I’m a bit of a @CorkSport; fanboy… It’s hard not to be when you never hear anything bad about them.

I will be looking for an etune after these parts are all installed. Although I did play around with the stage 1 OTS maps a bit and learned quite a bit from you all about how to make adjustments in ATR, I found that I don’t have the time to keep learning about tuning. I also have my fiancée giving me pissed looks when I “do my spreadsheets”, as she calls it. I’ll probably be contacting @atvfreek; once I have all of the new parts installed.

Again, thanks for everything, guys! There are some smart fuckers on here! Keep the good info going!

Great start man, doing it right the first time. Welcome and start posting more :)

You can't go wrong with @atvfreek; for a tune. Love my tune and we've still got another map to go once I get my meth kit on the car. Goodluck with everything, keep us posted on results

Looks like you're on the right track..... ;)

Thanks guys! I'm looking into doing some Chin Motorsports events, so I'm trying to get the car ready for those future events. I still have a nice SHOEI helmet from my sport-biking street/track days. I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the stock wheels, but I may switch to wider aftermarket wheels and tires after a track day or two. With 30k on the car, I figured I should change the transmission fluid, probably flush the coolant, and bleed the brakes. Anything else you all can think of?

Good line up with mods, my in suggestion would be ssp//bushings and tran fluid before the race pipe.

As for e-tuner; you can't go wrong with a Msf proven vendor e-tuners.

Definitely on the right track
