Yup, it's been a while since I've been on this site mostly due to the fact that I've built another and much faster computer. So I feel an update is in order here, the last post I made mentioned that my brother was looking to buy a Mazda 3 because he really likes mine, so what did he come home...

Yeah, I don't plan on doing anything to the looks, just want to do some mod's under the the hood, would love to find an engine from a speed3 but as the money goes...it aint gonna happen any time soon. The car already looks great in sunset orange and is somewhat of a sleeper as a few Chevy's have...

Way cool!...A Mazda 3 fan, you are the first that I have found since I became a member of this foum, I also have 2005 Mazda 3 GT 2.3L 5spd(Sunset Orange Mica), however, it is all stock for the moment, first step I am going to take is an air box mod as soon as the money catches up to me..., any...

Thanks Waynne, will certainly keep you posted however my visits to the site may be a little sporadic over the summer as the family suffered the sudden passing of my sister in-law at the age of 52, this happened a few weeks ago but things are slowly getting back to a more normal state. If my...

Well I'm back from my holiday and go figure...didn't accomplish a dang thing on my car. Work all year...get holidays...work in yard...help family with their yard, the list goes on. On the up-side, my brother is looking at purchasing a Mazda3 GT and together with our combined knowledge we will...

Hi Waynne, thank's for the warm welcome. I am enjoying this site very much and enjoy reading the many threads from around the world. In search for some one to do the remapping however I'm back to work for this week then it's holiday time for a week, my search will become much stronger then...

Now this sounds good, I'm starting my holidays at the end of this week so it will be a good time to start my search for someone to do the coding. Thanks, I greatly appreciate it.

Nothing like a little tire smoke to get the juices flowin in the morn! Welcome aboard!

Yup! That's where it's at, now all I have to do is find out what equipment is required and the how to re-code the ECU. There's a little voice in the back of my head that's telling me it won't be worth the cost.

Thanks for your reply - Yes it is fly by wire(ECU controlled). I talked to our local Mazda dealer and that is what they told me but at the same time they also said they wouldn't set the idle higher as they are only allowed to set to spec., butt covering is what I call that. I know it can be done...

In my experience with any vehicle with a 5spd, particularly with this one is it's response time on the gas peddle, a little lagging(not hesitating) on the up take, I've been told it's the nature of the beast. Also, because I live in Saskatchewan where the winters are cold I find that the car...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and am glad to have found it, I was looking for a place to go for information on my Mazda3 GT 2.3L. A simple question to start with, I need to step up the idle speed because I really don't like 750rpm idle, if someone could let me in on the 'how to' it would...
