i want speed
 

The mazda3 at 120 MHP automaticaly throws you back down what can i do to make that crap go away

speed
 

well i first started out with putting in a catback exhaust system. this will add anywhere from 10-30hp if done right. then u can get headers which will add another 10-20hp, cold-air intake 5-15hp, manifold 20hp, flywheel 20-30 hp, racing pulleys 20-30 hp, injectors, fuel pump upgrade, racing axels, short shifter w/performance clutch. its really all about wat u want and how much u willing to spend. also u can check out these forms and learn even more about wat u can do with ur pro. let me know how its goin!!! :bt:

The ONLY thing that will get rid of the 118 MPH governor is the SCT flasher which is being developed for the MZ3 as I type this. No idea when the release date is though.

these numbers are SO far off it's scary. Secondly, half of the parts you mentioned dont even exsist yet for a 3.

my advice. Obay your posted speedlimits. there is no need to go over 118mph and no'one here is impressed if you go faster. :thumbs do

^^what he said.
We're up to 145 hp, potentially, with those mods? :rofl:

Not only that, none of the parts he lists will get rid of the top speed governor anyway. :cookoo:

well....i've seen automatic proteges hit a wall at 112mph and they added the obx header and got an extra 8-10mph out of it...I've seen it first hand. I think it is more load/gear based than mph/gear.....it may even be rpm/gear based....i know some of the cars I've driven will reach top speed in 4th so when you shift into 5th you can't go any faster.

I didnt know a flywheel made hp ??

let him go faster than 118 guys...that way there will be one less idiot in the world !! :bt:

I got my '03 up to 117, of course it was downhill...

Flywheels don't make horse power they give you more usable hp. Your engine puts out 160 at the crank but only makes around 130 at the wheels. A light weight flywheel will give you more usable wheel horse power.

I'm sure macdaddy was being facetious....

thanks there Kargo...at least someone can "get" text...hard to show tone...Man I wish my engine put out 160 at the crank !

Your right Roddimus Prime but just knowing that i can go faster than most m3's is just pretty cool oh is mac daddy fella always that stupid???

probably not a good start to call your fellow forum super-mod "stupid". He's one of the smartest guys we've got.

you should stick around for a while before calling people names.

He the smart one??? Well i guess your right.... I apologize Mr. Mac

You mean "HE'S the smart one." and " Well I guess you're right " ???

Look, I'm smart enough to use proper punctuation. :bt:

damm chill bro...i just suggested these mods whether or not they offered them to his car. u can tell somebody something; but they dont hav to listen. so why am i being dissed for a comment?? like i said it was only a suggestion!!!

You should really quote a comment arabamer, or at least advise the person you are aiming your rebuttal too, otherwise you come off not making any sense...took me a minute or 2 to realize you were talking to Matty...

The main reason you were "dissed" is for spreading false info...it's not looked highly upon here....your hp gain claims on those mods were rediculous....leave stuff like that for msprotege :bt:

Arabamer, you're an idiot. Learn about the car before you start giving advie on how to mod it. And learn how to speak english better.

RedBlaze, you're a bigger idiot. I dont understand what the deal is with people wanting these cars to go that fast; it's a Mazda econobox! They were simply not designed to go that fast, even on a real track. If you drive at those speeds on a normal road, then you need to look into what can happen to you (not just law-wise, but also crashing your car and killing yourself/others) First hand experience is a bitch.

:laugh: :rofl: :evilgrin:

you weren't being "dissed" you were being corrected. Anarchistchiken "dissed" you. See the difference in the two responses?

Miller, no need to add fuel to the fire. The guy already feels like he's on the defensive.

LOL.............and if I can see those gains from those parts, I'm clearly doing the wrong thing and should stop saving for big things like the WOMP. They were good suggestions, but unavailable and very inaccurate, as stated above.

hey men i dont mean to offend nobody here, but i think you shouldn't call nobody idiot, yeah i know one of them gave a bad advise, and anotherone is trying to kill himself with more speed, but that doesn't give you the right to call them idiots.
respect people and they'll respect you.

Respect is something that should be earned. You earn it by reading or listening and learning, and then pasing on proper information to others.
Spreading false information, or making false claims, or trying to qualify for the 2005 Darwin Awards are not ways to gain respect.

I think we should all just realize that driving a car like the protege we're going to encounter a lot of people who are "younger" (both in age and mentality). We should try excersizing a little patience.


that's bad if IM the one syaing we need more patience!

Sell it and buy a bike...

Mine by the way! :tit:

wrong i think that everybody here deserve respect, now, im not telling you to love him, its just being nice you know, if something correct what he said but dont make him feel unwelcome and unwanted, and most likely like a PIECE OF CRAP.

Hey Chicken man chill out dont get your panties in a bunch It was just a question and if i wanna make my car go 1000 miles per hour then crash and die then thats on me I appreciate your concern. Lets all just all get along!

hey listen tough guy...i already said my bad on the whole giving advice thing. it was my fault for not doing more research :squint fi anyhow m3....good lookin hommie :p and as far as anyone else tryin to diss me kiss my ass!!!...didnt know that eating, sleeping, and drinking cars was a life :booty:

what part of "settle down" does everyone fail to realize...I've already scolded Anarchistchiken....let it go and get back on topic.


The only way to increase top speed is to remiove the ecu-controlled speed limiter. You could get a very small boost in top speed with a nice 4-1 header but one doesn't exsist yet. My advice would be either be satisified with what you've purchased or sell it and buy an evo or srt4.

look back on topic, like i said in an old post, this guy that does everything in my car he removed the top speed limiter, well actually he try to explain me, he said that he had to add a chip to the ecu, he said he couldn't removed the top speed limiter because in most japanesse cars you can do that, you have to add a chip and its like 200 bucks if i remenber, well i hope thats helpfull.

Ok, sorry I snapped on you guys that's my bad. I guess I was just having a crappy day.

M3, that doesn't sound right. I think it's a piece of code in the programming of the ecu, cause Mazda doesn't traditionally do chips like VW's and whatnot. I don't know the 3 that well, so I could be wrong, but that just sounds fishy.

well i dont remenber if it was either a chip or a software, i really dont remenber there is a post that i made of this when i had just talked to the guy over the phone try and search for it.

here you go i found it for you the link is
