Mazdaspeeds Forum The New Era in Mazdaspeed, CX-7 & Ecoboost Forums!
I got a way for MSO to really grow with activity. On the old forum, we had threads with intakes, brakes, intercolers, etc. Well fast forward a few years, they are being reported all over failbook and here, as outdated. Some companies are irrelevant, or just gone.
So yeah, let's make FRESH threads with all new pics of products out there (must upload them to the thread, no hosting!) and include as many current companies out there. No gorilla arm companies, ok? Do not copy a single word or picture from the old place.
So yeah, here is the list of things I can think of. Sign up, make it in 3 weeks of signing up, and you will be rewarded. Already a member? I will extend it. Not a member? I will give you a year silver level free, plus some stick on horsepower.
Ideas:
1) Intake manifold.
2) Intakes CAI and Sri @JohnnyTightlips
3) turbos!
3) Intercoolers.
4) brakes
5) motor, trans, diff, etc mounts.
6) Fuel Pump Upgrades.
7) Struts/Springs/Coilovers
8) Downpipes
9) Exhausts
10)????
Now if you want to make a how to on installing a part, YES! make it. Same rules apply. Upload pics here, no copyright risks. See if it is here already. If not, do it!

Figured I would throw the bumper fitment solutions into a better organized location than the announcements. No banners, and will be at the bottom of the vendor section.
What we have is a solution for Mazdaspeed 3s of both generations for the fenderwell area of the bumper being loose. While a fix is possible for the Gen 1 for the front area around the headlight, the 2nd Gen (GenPu) is being actively developed.
RaiderFab is just the name I came up with after I had to go out on my own and come up with a fix for the fenderwell tab failure on the 1st Gen MS3. With help from @Maisonvi, who made a cad drawing of my crude specs, made a better bracket to confirm it would work, got a company to fab the brackets right here in Michigan...Murrica. The result of nearly 3 years of trial and error is the solution for the Gen1 Market.
2nd Gen, GenPu MS3 owners face similar issues, and @Faeker has helped prove the solution will work and at a very affordable cost.
Time for an update! October 2022 I lost my job. After 2 years of inventory issues and covid, etc my latch distributor closed shop. I decided to make this my thing. I was given full rights to his pics, and has been a huge help getting me going. Nearly December, my website is being made by me, I have all the legal stuff done too. I hope to open for sales soon!
I am also looking to expand to the solutions to anyone who has bumper issues. Just PM me and we can talk about how to make a solution.
Thanks, and look for more from RaiderFab in 2023

About the latches:
Only 1 latch will be needed for the fenderwell kit per side. If the area is popping off under the headlights as well, you will want to order a pair of full latch kits as well, which will be in the link sent when you order. You can even order our fenderwell kit first, then if needed after, order the front latch later.
The goal is to go from the bumper falling off, to this:
The how-to will be updated to reflect the final design as needed, but overall, it is pretty similar to the prototype.
