MazdaSpeed3 modders - where do I find them?
 

So KSTech has a few things in the works for the MazdaSpeed3. Does anybody know where the MS3 modders/enthusiasts hang out locally... online or in the real world? Looking for cars between here and San Francisco. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are wondering, "Why MS3?", it is because that car uses the same Denso MAF sensor as Subaru and the intakes are somewhat similar.

I like those cars.

Dunno. But if you want access to a standard 3S let me know.

Surely you've looked at mazda3forums.com? And there are child forums under the US regional forums, one for 'southwest' which includes CA and NV, although I am not aware of anyone on there from NNV

My GF has a MY09 plain old 3 I could always bring to a meet or whatever if that ever happens to help.

There's actually a big following in NASIOC's OT forum... lots of former WRX owners switched over.

And the MS3 forum I was on back when I was considering one was Mazda 24/7... they've got an MS3 specific area:

That's really the only Mazda forum I've been on at all, so I don't know how it compares to the others. But I found it to be just a little below NASIOC's level for technical info, and relatively friendly... but I haven't been over there in like a year now.

Also, coming up with a line of MS3 intakes is a *great* idea. Those cars make like 30hp more with a good intake, and very little to no tuning is required as long as the MAF readings stay true. So intakes are hugely popular on the car, and the car itself is becoming a popular tuner platform.
