I can provide pictures of all parts upon request. I traded the 08 MS3 in over the weekend & have a couple items to part with. I'll post them here before eBay,CL, or vehicle specific forums. Feel free to make an offer or ask questions.

Forge BPV (fits MS6 & CX7) RX8 wheels (seen in avatar) with Yokohama AVS ES100 tires. (no shipping please)

Double DIN radio installation kit.

Little felt washers to fix chattering windshields (mazda part).

I may have some other stock items once I clear a ton of GTP parts out of the shed.

Maybe this is a know before you ask question, but what is a Cobb Accessport?

My wife has a regular Mazda3, and I know there are a few parts that crossover, but I have no idea what a Cobb Accessport is.

Thanks

Actually the Accessport has just sold.

An accessport would not work on the 3. What it is is a handheld tuner for the MS3/6, Subaru, Mitsubishi & some other turbo cars. It allows you to install OTS maps based upon supporting mods as well as custom tune. It was a great tool for my car & I'm sure the GRM staff are enjoying theirs as well.

Question: what's the width of the OEM MS3 wheels, and what's the width of the RX8 wheels? Are the RX8 wheels similar weight?

Thanks..

The OEM wheels are 18 x 7, the RX8's are 18 x 8 (forget the offset). They brought the wheel further out than the stockers, no hella flush stance though.

IIRC the stocks weigh 27lbs, the RX8s weigh 22lbs?

Thanks, good to know. I may try to pick up some inexpensive OEM-sized MS3 wheels at some point for auto-x use. I wish there was such a thing as inexpensive 18-inch sticky tires...
