    Hey everybody!
    I'm new to the forum and have had my speed for about 3 years and she has 252,195 miles.
    I have a 2007 Cosmic Blue Mazdaspeed 3 with-
    • Cobb RMM
    • JBR 5mm wheel spacers
    • JBR EBCS
    • JBR Short Shift Plate
    • JBR Solid Shifter Bushings
    • Fidanza Single Mass Flywheel (ef this thing is loud and annoying)
    I love the car, love working on her (she responds to April, btw), and LOVE that I finally fixed her CEL (a classic p0401 that plagued me for the past 2 years). She's fast, pulls hard, and gets my heart pumping everyday. I don't have all the knowledge in the world, but I'm happy to help where I can.

    Welcome to the forum. Get an AP with a tune and you will love it even more.

    Right on. I was just looking at them; 700 big bucks! What's the used market on these baddies like?

    I second the Accessport suggestion as your mileage (mine is currently 208k so I know) is pretty high as it is and it will truly help the health of your car with a solid tune. $450 is about the used amount right now and is WELLL worth your money and can also help diagnose your issues as mentioned in OP. Glad you joined the forum and we are all glad to help out.

    [mention]anthony [/mention] and [mention]StreetSpeed6 [/mention] thanks. Up next, finding out how to crack into the buy/sell page to rock a deal on one. Any hookups y’all have?

    If were to do it again I’d just buy one from Freektune and call it a day,

    Okay cool. What’s pushing you in that recommendation direction?

    You’ll get an OTS Freektune map with a revision, assuming your still on a K04.

    Yeah, still with the k04. Awesome man. Tuning is so foreign to me, but it sounds like it’s mandatory to keep the car running smooth. Probably especially needed this deep into the mileage at +250,000.

    Welcome. It is painfully obvious we have not met, as you have side moldings. :)

    Thanks [mention]Raider [/mention]! Yeah, well, I don’t have a good excuse for not smoothing out the sides after three years. Maybe this quarantine is the time to grab a hairdryer and an extension cord [emoji2957]
    How long have you been selling mazdas?
