Let's hope that it isn't going into the block and out the tail pipe...that could be a problem for you and your car.

Sure has every sign of coolant mixing with engine oil. Discounting the cold weather recentlty any tail smoke? (white/grey)

Nope, not a whiff of tailpipe smoke. I bought some Ford coolant and I'm gonna bring it back up to the MAX line and see the speed at which it drops. They said they checked the block as well, no signs of anything leaking. They chalked it up to evaporation loss but I've never owned a car that dropped that much in th recovery tank in such a short time (By the time I noticed it had dropped from MAX it was June of this year, now its just above MIN and its Oct)

Oh man , that mazda speed 3 was sweet..... sigh ..... stupid focus ....
by the way i tried to take Mazda 3 speed for a test drive over the weekend and they were like uuum u pretty much have to put a deal on the car to drive it......so wtf....im not gonna buy something that i haven't even tried.....how retarded but w/e......yea look nice....i even opened the hood and not sure why they put that intercooler on top that car got planty of room in the front....
but i still want to test drive it
Yeah it was a nice car to see up close last night, never really saw one before up close. But I still can't get over that price tag wow!
good meet guys!
it was fun!
the speed3 was fast, got taken out for a boot in the whip, and damn that is a fast car!

yeah the first 250 speed3s are red
the next 250 will be white
after that i am not sure
well white is better :)
yea i guess i'll wait about 2 years or so...till they drop in price or something maybe i'll consider to buy one....i guess it is a really fast car.....i read in the magazine it kills STI in hte 3rd gear and up i think
read the same thing!
it is pretty crazy!
i look forward to seeing this guys dynos!
to be honest that speed mazda 3 looks like a sleeper....i mean they still look the same compare to the regular Mazda 3
Its cheaper to install a top mount intercooler than a front mounted version, due to the fact that you pretty much need no plumbing for it.
Dont like top mount , far too many heatsoak issues.
An easy way to avoid the heat soak is to avoid traffic and drive fast. I'm thinking twisty country roads. Mmmmmm Zoom Zoom anyone?
