nice to see more and more going with the speed 3! its a great little car and anyone who hates on our fwd cars are just mad because they are great for the money. they're decently quick stock and out handle many cars stock for stock, including the WRX. my first mod was the corksport SRI and TIP combo also. i have a 2010 and its decently modded with bolt-ons so if you have any questions, just ask!
Sorry for the late response. Cobb makes Accessports for various cars. Its basically an engine management device. You use them for lots of stuff but mainly its for flashing the stock ECU. Modern cars have so many sensors and involve so much computer management that you need to override it for most upgrades like turboback exhaust etc to actually generate gains. You can even have a tuner design a custom map and install it via the accessport, or build your car based one of the downloadable maps.

Nice video,..just bought a 2012 Speed 3. Ordered a CorkSport SRI to start it off. Going to make sure I build her up properly . Seams one has to really do it right with these cars as the ECU is sensitive to change as per fuel pump and downpipe mods etc. Good driving sir!!
I gotta know what you have done to this beast!!!!!!! I'm thinking of getting into auto-x'ing this year myself. This is prob my favorite video of all the MS3's on youtube.
Pretty sure this is Anthony (driver311) if this is in Boise. His car is badass. He is now rocking a built motor on a gtx3071 with everything in between. He rocks yellowspeed CO's.
Thanks for the response. Just curious what mod's youve done , particularly BPV & exhaust ? What would you recommend ?, ..I like the sound of the Forge Unit but some say it's complicated when choosing the right ( Springs ) w the kit, no idea myself,... 1 st turbo car for me. Thanks for your help.
cont... Basically, you can start bolting all kinds of crap onto an MS3, STI, EVO, etc. and it really wont do much (sometimes even hurt the car) if the computer doesnt know how to handle all the new parts/information. The accessport also has a bunch of other useful features to measure and monitor engine performance or diagnose problems. You can learn more at Cobb's website. Also, buy a new rear motor mount. Its the other absolute must. I can tell you why later if you want but Im out of space

I love how your Intercooler doesnt look small like most of the ms3's ive seen.

I have an 08.
The first thing I did is buy an Accessport, thats what I think everyone should buy first if they are planning on modding their speed3.
Nice
Ya awesome vid, car sounds amazing ..
Perfect example of how you should mod a MS3
Riding Diiirttyy!!!
Very nice!
wow! looks sick. What are the suspension mods?
with the way that ms3 was sticking, looked like compound R tires
0:02 OMG this thing looks pissed
i am pretty sure he has replaced the OEM LSD with a aftermarket LSD that has even more lock similar to the OSGiken Superlock LSD for Mazdaspeed3
crazy nice
build thread ? what rear wing is that? extensions ?
nice ride !
