Again thanks for watching!
Boxer rumble without the boxer engine!😉
Plz don’t compare trash to icons
@@dylondoest395 he’s not wrong tho 😄
@@dylondoest395 both these cars are icons
@@dylondoest395 I agree boxer engines fall apart when you look at them wrong, very trashy... The MS3 2.3 liter DISI on the other hand, is more reliable, more powerful, sounds amazing, and the bottom end can handle more power than a subi boxer can stock for stock.
@@dylondoest395 I literally murder buslength gap every fucking wrx/sti i see from a roll. MS3>WRX. they are literally only useful from 1-40 mph. Glass ass transmission and the old EJ platform needed more attention than my ex girlfriend. Overpriced generally, and driven hard so the used car market is abysmal. Please explain why a street driven subaru is an icon? Dedicated rally cars are legendary but not their consumer end garbage.
Luv the Mazda Spd3 spacious glove compartment
Thank you for posting. I’m sick and cannot drive my speed currently and this makes me feel better inside. Love this car so much
That's so rough bud. I'm sorry. I hope whatever is going on would get better soon
@@ZJSProMedia I am better now :) re-watching this video because the winter keeps the mazda in the garage :/
@@hardspaghetti9989 I feel that. I bent all the valves so I need to replace the head🤣 I watch this back for motivation 🤣🤣🤣
@@ZJSProMedia I'm getting struts, clutch, sway bars, and a axel replaced right with y'all😅😵💫😵💫
@@mike_money71 yeah literally just took the head off today and swapping the new one in tomorrow. Waiting on injector seals and friction washers for timing
This just popped up in my recommended because I just bought a Mazda 3 that I’m planning on doing some work to and then I recognized the road lol. Definitely going to driving up there once the weather gets better. Can’t believe I didn’t think of the gorge earlier haha
I miss my Mazda, someday I'll go back for an Mazda RX
I had a '13 Speed3 and loved it. I traded it in at 60k miles for a Mustang GT. I think the Speed was a tighter race car type of vehicle and will cherish the memories of it forever. Both are amazing cars.
I’m in drivers Ed rn😆🤦🏻♂️ my guy...legend timing
Ah yes, a fellow Mazdaspeed 3 POV driver. Hello! Great video!
This makes me miss my Speed3 🥹
I drive a regular 1st gen Mazda 3 and gotta say it’s quite enjoyable for what it is
Love the ride bro...she sounds really good.
Thanks!
Thank for this the sounds are amazing I miss my speed while it’s in the shop I’ll just asmr yours
Sounds good brother, enjoy the rides!
Thanks man! Love this car!
@@ZJSProMedia Thanks once again for the video man, it really is therapy - mine isn't yet that growly and fluttery, and listening to yours makes my day. Can't really drive around either, Covid is being a b#3h.
@@tosgaly absolutely! I'm glad that you've been able to enjoy it! Im sorry you can't drive your car...
Car in-scent hanging on for dear life
Sweet vid bro. My baby is at the shop getting built so I’m having separation anxiety - this helps sooth it 👌
Bro I feel. If you watch my most recent video on car stuff you'll see that I'm in the midst of a bunch of big projects. Haven't driven my car since June regularly. I've driven it maybe 2 hours since then... Different motor, different turbo. Built engine is going in my new project.
@@ZJSProMedia yup I saw it bro… white 09GT is going look clean. I want a Ms6 next in that midnight purple. Good luck with your projects!
I've got a gen2... this is making me consider getting a wotbox😍
It's so fun dude... I would just caution you that I have a built motor and wotboxes are not without thier risks
I need to move somewhere with roads like that.
bro i love that drive! i got a gen 2 and am from portland
Heck ya! Follow my Instagram and we should meet up!
@@ZJSProMedia for sure! what’s your insta i’ll follow
@@weraishere zjsproductions
Should’ve bombed the heel. Love the turbo noises!!
Pro tip: never shift gears or lay into the throttle mid corner, especially in a car like this with crazy torque steer. Great video otherwise, I love these Mazdaspeeds.
If he’s experienced driving the car which is clear, then I think your tips are irrelevant.
@@ohBoolooz yeah experience doesn't really beat out physics, dumb f.
@@xsct878 Skill issue tbh.
How you’d setup the camera?
Nice
we cruisin
Cool!
Driving scares me too much not sure if I'll learn how. I don't mind TriMet and it's cheaper too.
I'm hoping to get one of these next year if the prices don't go stupid
I got mine last June for 13k with 86,0000 miles on it. Now I see some online selling for 15k with 100k miles on them or more it's ridiculous.
@@cruzezzz9900 yeah I hate that BS. It's an old car, doesn't make it more valuable especially with high mileage too
@@AzenBerries sweet! Hope you find a good one! I'm going to be selling the one in the video and building another one. I will either follow the build on this channel or make another one for it. Because it's basically fully built minus fuel system, I'm probably going to try to get 13k or so out of it. The new build will be less sleeper and look more the part. I am planning an AWD swap as well. Should be a cool build
I just watched your phantom 4 video since I plan on getting one. Checked your channel and oh snap! I have a black 2007 Speed3. Kinda rare cars, so I thought that was cool. You live on the east coast? - I’m tuned by Erik as well!! Small world - what camera you got in here?
That's funny! Nah I'm on west coast. I had just mounted a GoPro lol nothing special
Is this in oregon ?
Can you make a vid on the build cost please. I’m trying to put my speed aside and go fully built once I get a truck/daily lol
I might do that. If there's interest I'll make a more in depth video on my car and mods as I go
@@ZJSProMedia do it I wanna see as well
I’m around $17k between mods and labor on my gen2. Built engine+ clutch and flywheel is costing me 8.7k alone. All my bolt ons were purchase new so between a turbo, full exhaust, intercooler, engine mounts, suspension, brakes, etc. another $10k about. It’s worth every single penny ❤️🏎. If you know how to work on your car you will save a good amount - I just don’t have the time.
Hows the luk clutch and fidanza flywheel holding up? Considering getting that for my built motor, cst4, fbo build. No aux fuel yet, shooting for 350-400. Would I be good with that?
I run approx the same build, luk/fidanza, cst4 17psi peak, no cats, top mount. makes approx. 290-300 whp on a mustang dyno. I have noticed that I make way more torque than the hp figure, and the luk has the tendency to let go completely if I put the power down early, before 4500rpm. roll into boost rather than stabbing it on a highway pull. you might want to get something grabbier than an oem replacement friction disk. also, the fidanza makes SO much noise, if you pull up next to a building, it sounds broken. clacky clack
Worked great for over a year until I had a money shift accident. But definitely a good setup!
5:48 this looked like it was straight out of forza horizon!
Yeah looks like one of the intro sequences 😂😂😂
Man I'd love one of these cars but they're so hard to find
Look everyday my friend, I tried to buy 4 this summer… they all fell through. Either ended up being issues that would be a headache or they got sold before I could go take a look. One just happened to come across my screen and I couldn’t be happier. They’re out there!!!!
@4:13 do you have a WOT box for a that flat foot shift? Or are you just that quick? xD
Wotbox baby! It's so much fun!
@@ZJSProMedia Awesome! Love the build man!
did you have to get a retune when you installed the WOT box? I'm thinking about getting one but worried the install is bad and I'll need a retune
also how did u get ur turbo to flutter?
No retune, if you can solder then you are good. I wouldn't use a wotbox on a stock bottom end, but that's just me. My turbo flutters because it doesn't have a antisurge housing, and my tial q bov is placed on the hot side of the piping rather than the cold, so it reacts more slowly when the throttle shuts
What bpv do you have? Wasn't listed in your mod description
I have a tial q
Does this have stiffer engine mounts? Those shifts seem smooth compared to mine. Mine is really jerky when I shift
The transmission built into these cars is very lazy, not necessarily bad but you will hear a lot of noises and experience jerks especially between gears 1&2. A lot of people fix this issue with a short shifter, idk what he has in the video but that’s what I’d guess. It’s smoother if you pull the clutch out slowly, also like this guy you can rev match nicely on the downshifts. I doubt it’s the engine mounts tbh.
@@caniborrowapencil5160 Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely be looking into doing a short shifter. I’m sick of it feeling like such a chore to try and shift 1st to 2nd smoothly, especially in the mornings when I’m tired 😂
How did you make this POV? I wanna do some POVs on my speed 3
I just have a clamp arm on my gopro, I had it clamped on the passenger seat headrest post
@@ZJSProMedia ohhh okay I thought this was recorded through an Iphone or something I was wanting to make a POV without having to buy a GoPro. Thanks so much for the reply tho!
@@prodigygaming858 you probably still could with a phone clamp! Try it out!
I wanted to get a speed 3 but it had 100k miles and I saw the common problems that come with it and I decided to pass on it they were asking 10.5k did I make a good choice by passing on it
Well I'm listing this one for 12k with less than 10k miles on a built motor and big turbo setup
Man man kann den Wagen auch mit wenig Touren fahren wenn es bergauf geht,wenn man es gemütlich angeht
Awesome video man! Car sounds so damn good! Im planning on getting a Mazdaspeed 3 soon, would you say theyre pretty reliable?
They can be. but you need to do maintenance on a LOT of things if you're getting one in the 4-5k range. the common failure points more often than not are neglected, and tend to suddenly break, leaving you stranded. Check for, suspension in good shape, including bushings, HPFP internals if tuned, VVT/Timing replaced and done properly, AC compressor replaced if around 120k, Oil cooler plate that sits on your oil filter assembly, idler and tensioner pulleys for the serpentine belt, suspension bushings, particularly sway bar mount bushings, they are always dust and will give you the infamous rear end clunk, pivot shaft seal on top of your transmission tends to leak, DO A COMPRESSION TEST AND SHOOT FOR NEAR 160 ON ALL CYLINDERS, Cylinder 3 runs leaner than the others due to the intake manifold design, can and will run lean with a shit tune and that cylinder is always the first to go zoom zoom boom. 2nd gen, for overall reliability, is leagues above a gen1. however, it will hold your hand much more aggressively with the driver assists. gen1 has none of that, barely even tries to wrangle the torque steer. I own a gen1, and this is the list of shit I had to do immediately after purchase, costing around 4k for just parts, me doing all the work.
@Jared amen. My gen 2 just had its turbo oil seals go. Getting it right now as we speak. Though I do have a lot bolt ons along woth cat back and a catless downpipe. So that probably didn't help. Ended up going woth a cst4. You're lucky you can do all the work yourself. Minor stuff I'm fine with but I don't have the experience nor time sadly.
@@jkon156 Damn thanks for the info, really appreciate it!
I’m a bit late, but how’s the torque steer ? I found an unmodified 70k mike 1 owner 2007 ms3 for 10k that I want to pull the trigger on
Torque steer is not bad, people are over exagerating it
I bought a 2002 year” protoge Mazdaspeed sedan” with a 5 speed manual transmission” transmission has been rebuilt” now it’s time to work on the engine” turbo boost not working properly “ fun to drive car”
Soooooo, exhaust setup makes that sound? I'm gonna try for the same sound when I get a mazda 3 😌
Won't sound the same if you just get a 3 instead of a speed 3. But it's an hks catback with cattless downpipe.
been eyeing speed3s for awhile, would you recommend one for a daily driver?
absolutely
a 2008 gen 1 is my daily right now. probably the best daily you could own. super super fun
Definitely a super fun daily. STAY ON TOP OF MAINTENANCE. Once you go built motor reliability starts suffering with supporting mods. Also take it from me, don't money shift. It's expensive 🤣 I have to swap heads now
@@ZJSProMedia gotcha, im about to look at one tomorrow, has 169k miles, compression numbers are pretty good and car seems in pretty good condition. does smoke a tiny bit after a while in idle so i suspect turbo seals but i plan on going cst4 and possibly built block down the road. how is a built block for a daily?
Ah yes, I too, drive a Mazda speed 3.
I do not concur with your diagnosis 🤣
@@ZJSProMedia I don’t concur with your conclusion that my diagnosis is in correct
what state is this looks amazing
This is the gorge in between Washington and Oregon
@@ZJSProMedia is this road on the oregon side? I wanna bring my speed 3 to this road so bad, but I don't recognize the castle lookin thing at 3:00 edit: just saw the vista house sign lol
Is there an specific way to get those pops on the speed or r they just random 😭
I use a wotbox for faster shifts and staying in boost. I don't recommend them for stock motors, only built bottom ends. But of course do your own research and find out what you think. N2MB wotbox
@@ZJSProMedia thxs for the reply dude
@@MegaXavier1999 of course bro! Always happy to help!
At min 4:14, what was that sound when u shifted?
I use a wotbox so that I can shift without loosing boost. It has a nice side effect of shooting a massive flame. You can see me do it a few times.
I also did it at 3:27 but it wasn't hot enough to make a really big flame. Just a lil one😝
Sounds like you have the same clunk sound I do. It sounds like end links but mine are tight. Do you know what it is?
Not sure what clunk you're referring to. But endlinks are a common thing on these.
@@ZJSProMedia I've had mine on a lift and pried on all the suspension parts and can't see anything loose but mine clunks over bumps.
@@rh2racing could be shocks or shock mounts too.
What type of video camera do you use? Love the video!!
That was a gopro 4🤣🤣🤣 I have since upgraded.
@@ZJSProMedia as long as you can still hear the engine and exhaust and see the road clearly I approve lol 😂 can’t wait until I get mine running. I want to make videos like this too
@@Mrhandsome25659 might be selling this car this weekend but I'm building another and putting a speed 6 together as a daily. I'll probably do some videos of those 🙂
@@ZJSProMedia is the speed 3 just bolt ons and a tune?
@@Mrhandsome25659 nah built motor CST4 now, in the video was a gt3071r. It's gone through so many iterations
What turbo you running and how much boost?
Like in the description it's a gt3071r. Targeting 22psi but the iwg is sticky. Going ewg to fix this
How much vibes did the BSD add to the car?
Tbh I have the bsd and rear motor mount and the vibes aren't as bad as my buddies who have all damon motor mounts. I have the stock mounts on the sides still. It's really not bad. Not sure how bad it would be with motor mounts though
@@ZJSProMedia I have the bsd and the lightweight FW as well with cobb rmm, and JBR psm and honestly my car has so many vibes already i don't imagine there's much of a difference
@@iTsBkRandy I've ridden with a buddy who has the "soft" Damon mounts and it vibrates like CRAZY and my car is barely worse than stock.
do u recomend that head unit?
If you're an audiophile like me, absolutely not. If you don't care too much about sound and more are into the functionality, then go for it. I have a 5ch amp and I don't use the amp built into the head unit, it's not great and very underpowered. As far as functionality goes its definitely nice
Do you heel and toe on your downshifts?
Yeah I do. Do it kinda backwards tho. I use heel on brake instead of on gas. I find it easier to blip accurately with my toe.
@@ZJSProMedia okay i know I was hearing it but your foot movement wasn’t showing it. Yeah I can’t really heel and toe I’m practicing that way but not working so far lol. I got a Speed3 gen1 also.
@@inixratedini a lot of the downshifts were just fast blips not actually heel toe
What exhaust is on this? And how loud would you say it is?
I have the hks on my car. It's definitely not super quiet. It has a good tone and is tolerable for daily driving and when you get on it it sounds absolutely amazing. And pretty loud in tunnels and such
@@ZJSProMedia sick thanks! I have a 2010 non speed 3 rn, but I'm saving to get a gen 2 soon, love all ms3
@@tylerw782 that's awesome! If you're in the Portland area you can buy this one from me soon, will have a brand new built motor. It not a genpu but still an awesome car
