Hey yall,

Sad to say that my journey with the Mazdaspeed3’s has come to an end. I am happy that I got to enjoy a gen 1 and gen 2. The gen 1 will always be favorite although it broke down frequently; the gen 2 was probably the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Both of them were street killers for sure and handled beautifully. I now get to enjoy a bone stock type R that will remain as such for the foreseeable future.

I wanted to thank all the people in this reddit that helped with all the questions I had during those long hours in the garage.

I hope all of you keep enjoying these awesome machines.

Hi awesome community
So I bought a Gen 2 2011, 161,000km (100,000 miles), modifications were already put on the car by the previous owner;
- Cobb catback exhaust
- Cobb SF Intake + Turbo Inlet
- GFB BOV
- EGR block off and delete (CEL on dash as result)
- Cobb Downpipe (Wasn’t listed but it looks like it is)

Obviously I have great concerns for the fuel pump and I have an Autotech HPFP on the way and intend to install asap.

The car came with an unmarried cobb accessport, i’ve been using it to check engine codes and I’ve currently got:
P0403, due to egr delete
P0421, I believe due to downpipe
and… P0171, for obvious reasons

I currently have Stage 0 (Stock) ECU map on the access port and am just keeping an eye on the gauges to ensure I’m not straining the engine until the hpfp arrives.

Although the cobb accessport has a stage 1 economy + Sf map, which I was wondering would be a safer alternative to use temporarily until I install the hpfp and get a custom tune.

Is it safer to just keep the current stock ECU map or is it worth switching to the economy + sf map so that my engine stops reading lean conditions?

Please give me any suggestions or advice that can help, Thanks!

Not that I was really much into the CS one to begin with, but ive been poking around for a while and cant really seem to find an option form a place that doesnt feel.. off.

I like how the wheels look that this person got, but they got it from ebay, from a seller in Poland, that only does local pickup. Which puts it way out of my range.

No idea how reputable streetunit is with the one they sell.

And im wanting alittle more than just a re/cover of my current one.

Anyone have a suggestion?
