New to the speed3....
 

I am looking to buy a speed3 and was just wanting to know what I need to look for when I look at a couple. I am waiting on my dealer to find me a couple. and also I want to mod it a bit but I also don't want to spend a bunch of money. any help would be great.

2. Read. everything. This forum has a plethora of knowledge at your finger tips. While we will be more than happy to help a newb...some leg work and the effort to at least find information is expected on your part. Don't be lazy

FYI - cheap is a relative term (what is cheap or expensive to me may vary from person to person) but the must have mod before anything else is typicaly the AT internals combined with a Cobb Access port which can run you anywhere near $350ish for the internals and another $350-$650 on the access port. Just to give you a jumping off point...

so what are AT internals? and I'm looking to spend around a grand for a good fun car that handles good and goes decently fast. would you go for a bolt on exhaust or a custom one from a muffler/speed shop?

Auto tech internals.

do more research.

These can be very fast cars, especially with a little bit of corn, but do your research first.

This is the best Mazdaspeed site by far, but we don't spoon feed basic and easily accessible information.
