MS3 reliability
 

Hi guys, I searched regarding MS3 reliability and found 1 really old post about high mileage Mazdaspeeds. This may sound dumb, but if I'm religiously changing the oil every 3k. and keep up with other maintenance how long do you think this thing will last.

Its a 12 MS3 with the following:
Full intake to TIP
CPE top mount
AP tuned to 20 Psi
corksport test pipe to UR catback
Autotech int.
stage 2 catch can
JBR rear MM
and turbosmart BPV.

I think thats it. To be honest I drive the car relatively normal unless its the perfect weather then im beating on it. It has 22k now, i just want to know how long this will last with those mods.

Thanks guys.

Really?? :facepalm2:

literally didnt find this when searching. thanks

That's not a question anyone can answer. With proper maintenance it should last just as long as any other vehicle. But, even proper maintenance won't necessarily stop something catastrophic from possibly happening.

This model has been thru many years of tweaks. The 2013 is not a first year car. It's time tested. That was the deciding factor when I got my 12. That's all you need to know. keep up your maintenance and you should be fine.

As long as you maintain it I'm sure it will stay reliable.

It will break whenever it decides to. You have no control over it. Do the maintenance, mod it the way you want, and whatever happens is gonna happen. Be smart and conservative if you want mileage out of your car. However, you can't help it if the timing chain fails for one reason or another, or some other catastrophic even happens. Machines fail, and the best part is they're repairable and/or replaceable.
