r/mazdaspeed3

If anyone knows where the sound could possibly come from, I would really appreciate some info. I know it doesn’t have to do with the AC because it’s the exact same whether that’s turned on or off. Comes from when the fan is on.

2013 with only 118,000km (73,000 miles) never winter driven and stock besides an intake and bov. Loving it so far! Probably an exhaust and a few small things to come

I’m trying to install rmm but it keeps getting loose

Hey just seeing if it's something non serious but the engine is idleing funny now and the only way I can describe it is like it's stuttering a lil, no codes tho

Hey guys I've had my ms3 for 6 years and I was wondering if it's time to get the timing chain done?

I don't hear any suspicious noises yet.(?)

The exhaust is a bit louder than stock.

As far as I know it's still the original one at 199k kms.

But I don't have any history on this car from the 2 previous owners so you never know.

Picked up this 2010 MazdaSpeed3 at 108K miles a couple of months ago. Couple of weeks ago it started throwing a P2096 code w/check engine light, where only the downstream 02 sensor says it's running too lean. Took it into my mechanic and he saw that the downstream sensor was bad, and so he replaced it. Check engine light came back on shortly thereafter; I cleared the code and the problem cropped up again.

I'm thinking it might be an exhaust leak, but would like to know if anyone has dealt with similar problems; this is my first Mazdaspeed3 (first manual vehicle I've ever driven, actually).

Recently purchased a 2012 speed 3 with 120k miles. I am planning on doing one large purchase of the majority of mods that I want rather than purchasing them one at a time. I'd like a decent bump in power over stock without being too risky, so I'm not going for big numbers. I'm both new to the platform as well as somewhat new to modding, so let me know if you've got any recommendation or if I missed any must haves.

2010 mazdaspeed 3
130k miles

The bad-
The clearcoat is gone in most spots
There's a rock chip right in the view of the driver
Interior shows wear
Periodic tpms light, accessport says it a tpms sensor
Noise from the alternator pulley, works perfectly but the pulley is making a whirring noise

The good-
Timing done around 250 miles ago by autodoc in los alamos, the timing kit is from corksport
Good suspension no clunks
Pretty much stock (the only mods are the solid shifter bushings, hpfp internals, and a radio)
Turbo was replaced at around 90k miles (no proof sadly)
Brand new touch screen radio (i also have the stock one that will come with the car, the only issue is that the volume button doesn’t work)
Hpfp internals are in the car (corksport)
Hardmount for dashcam installed (im taking my dashcam sorry)
Tech package
Has all the books that these cars came with, including the import slip from when the car was made

Reason for selling-
I bought this at the beginning of summer as a bit of an impulse buy, i bought a fwd fun car when I already have a fwd fun car, now that summer has ended and im not able to work full time i’m not able to afford 2 cars comfortably, I also need to save for something that is good in the snow, so sadly this one is going to a different home.

6650 with accesport and A pillar mount

2008 Mazdaspeed three, this sound just started today and slowly got louder and worse. It started off only over 2K RPMs, and then it gradually got louder and now makes the noise when I idle. I have my intake off right now in this video because I thought it was my turbo scraping against the housing. I have no idea what it could be. It sounds terrible though and it’s getting worse. I just did injector seals about 5000 miles ago I put overspeed seals and everything has been perfectly fine and normal and this noise just came out of nowhere today.

I have cob intake, front mount intercooler, CS cat back exhaust, freek tune, just put a new stock turbo in around 10,000 miles ago. car has around 140,000 miles. VVT got done 15,000 miles ago.

Been in love with my speed 3, owned it for a while done a lot of work to it. Just joined this group excited to be here.

So I previously had a rmm alignment issue (still do) and checked the pmm. It looks like this anyone know how I can go about fixing this?

I had to replace this front sway bar end link and the sound went away but it came back. Is it because I need to retighten them and torque them down properly?
