Mazdaspeed 3 Misconceptions?

[SKYMP3]

I wonder how "far" was between his oil change to result this damage. 10k? 15k 20k?

The 2.3L Disi is an inferior motor by design! Poor PCV system that send oil vapor back into the dry intake to get clog, poor intake manifold that does not flow equally to all cylinders so some run rich others run lean,(predominantly #3 cyl), poor turbo design by Mitsubishi Ko4 i believe, Carbon build up that robs performance as soon as 35,000km on a highway driven car with sunoco 94 and amsoil synthetics, poor dealer support network, and an even poorer knowledge from MCI!! Run don't walk away buddy!! unless you are willing to do what Celestspeed is doing and fixing all these short coming by doing insane build!!

I don't know, I didn't ask. That's all the info I got out of him, and it's information that he got out of the service guys at Kieswetter after he bought the car there. It could be that it was running Mazda oil (semi-synth) 5W-30, or 5W-20, or 0W-20 (depending on what the tech put in, because you know there is 'practically no difference' between the MS3 and regular 3s as far as most dealership techs are concerned), or maybe the previous owner had brought the car to a quickie lube and put in regular 5W-30 Supertech from Walmart. If that is the case, I'm sure it wouldn't take long at all for fuel dilution to kill the oil...

don't let the door hit you on the way out...

the remaining 99.9% of us who's been running well and making good power won't be missing you at all, eventho we gave you the wide berth on going on a tear about your isolated lemon. Besides, having reviewed your findings and the way you went about it, we are all pretty sure you could've had your issue fixed and enjoying your car like the rest of us. The fact that you decided to go on a one-man crusade against Mazda and having your warranty voided, and casting a bad light on the rest us, makes me glad we don't have to read you bullshit diatribes about Mazda and the motor.

...and the OP was made specifically to address the bullshit you spread..."misconceptions"...unless the rest of us feed our car unicorn blood.

gawd...you drive a GEn2 and have Gen1 problems like back in 2008...who's fault is that?

[loki]

not bitter at all

(although I have heard of a certain red gen1 MS3 that blew up like 3 times for reasons that are not yet clear to me lol). If you go onto msf and do some reading, you will also see the same thing.... bottom linely (that's a Fobio line).

Maybe that was me lol

Don't know what your talking about cause my warranty is not voided, but again your just talking the talk! How many ppl's number 3 cylinder has gone boom!! Why is Celest porting out intake manifold?? Cause this engine is perfect?? Far from it that's for sure!! This engine has its rewards if you put the time in like Celest is doing to address all the issues! Then again this MazdaSpeed is modified from mazda's in house performance group. What is MazdaSpeed= factory-engineered vehicles!! Maybe this is the problem lol!!

FYI This is best car I have bought minus the engine and I bought the car in oct 2009 when MazdaSpeed programs were still in full affect, then they take it away???
These are facts and everyone has seen these problems to some extent. Thanks fobio

1) MS3s are pretty good cars stock.
2) If you want more power, you have to do so responsibly and address the known shortcomings of the motor. This also applies to most modern performance cars.

And this was just hilarious.
