Mazda 3 MPS vs MAZDASPEED Axela - What's the difference? [in NZ]

[@LifeOfTuners]

What’s the difference between a Gen 1 and Gen 2 Mazdaspeed 3/MPS? *WATCH IT NOW FOOL* kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5S9hqKOg7NjmKM

[@LifeOfTuners]

- i forgot that the MPS’ speedo goes to 280, not 200 - MPS’ have door guard trims - Speed Axelas have folding mirrors - Stock MPS wheels are darker - Speed Axela has clutch start - MPS has Aux and Cigerette lighter in the centre console *WHAT A IDIOT*

[@realjesuschrist2982]

ecu limited at 190 i can’t go faster lol

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@realjesuschrist2982 that’s right

[@paulofelicianosaningo7369]

With tune that can be removed. Not an issue at all.

[@paulofelicianosaningo7369]

Axela also has blue color.

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@paulofelicianosaningo7369 yes that’s right

[@andrewherman6557]

Mps 280km speedo

[@LifeOfTuners]

that’s right

[@mazdasp33d33]

Good video as usual. The major difference is the rear spoiler, european versions MPS had that little tiny spoiler and MS3 got the big one. In europe we used to import rear spoilers from Japan or USA and mount them on MPS. MPS looks like a civil car without that spoiler. The headlights cleaning stuff is a mandatory thing in EU, if car has Xenon lights it needs to have a washer of them too. BTW. it dosnt clean them at all it just makes the car dirty so its sh#$ just like you shown in the video, nobody needs it :)

[@RazoE]

You guys also had aero mirrors and different suspension if you got the big wing stock (aero package)

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yesss this video was more aimed at the NZ Spec MPS and JDM Axela

[@idontreadreplies.252]

Weird because i have the mazdaspeed speedo yet where my spare tire is the foam thing has the MPS logo on it 😂

[@LifeOfTuners]

ohhh yes i’ve seen that before in another car ahaha, mine doesn’t have it

[@realjesuschrist2982]

same here lol

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@realjesuschrist2982 i think mines the only axela without it ahah

[@RazoE]

The front crash bar foam also says "MPS" on it

[@RazoE]

North American Mazdaspeed 3 differences: -2 models: Sport (base) and GT (not base, duh) -The GT had half cloth /leather for 2007 and leather/Alcantara for 2008/2009, auto wipers/auto headlights/alarm, LED taillights and HID headlights and the stereo had a computer built in to calculate mileage (not kilometerage, you metric using commies), and the Bose system. -standard curtain airbags/cruise control on all models, navigation optional. -BBL front /rear bumpers because Mazda of USA wants you to survive a car accident. -Canadian Speed3s had daytime running lights in their highbeams -Drivers have bigger penises/breasts (in some cases both at the same time) -Available in white, blue, silver, red, and black. -LHD like the Lord Jesus Hernandez Christ intended

[@LifeOfTuners]

ahahhaa the last and 3rd from last are probably the main ones

[@gabrieloconnor7140]

You forgot about the mps comes with an cig lighter and aux port in the center console 😜

[@LifeOfTuners]

omg another thing ahah yes you’re right

[@alexjames1785]

Who you with for insurance bro do they mind what’s done to the car?

[@LifeOfTuners]

i’m with AMP, they don’t really ask what mods you’ve got from my experience, they just have a list of parts you can’t have

[@thisislargemouth5566]

I miss my speed so much right now. 😭😭 It's getting a ton of upgrades and maintenance. It'll be down for another week or so.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Ohhhhh that sounds mean

[@thisislargemouth5566]

@@LifeOfTuners some cunt tried to steal my wheels so they pulled the starter signal wire out and ruined my starter. They were hoping I would leave the car. While the starter is getting done I'm going catless DP and oil restrictor, 3.5" intake, walnut blasted valves, doing new injectors and seals, PCV plate and catch can, EGR delete, VTCS delete, EBCS, oil change and spark plugs.

[@5ohh112]

Most of things depend on how the car was optioned when buying new. Ive been in the several MPSs that didnt have cruise control, leather seats or BOSE sound system. My MPS has leather seats, cruise control but no BOSE for example. But horn stuff is interesting, my MPS horn sounds the same as yours Axela which sounds better imo. Also worth noting : - white was available for MPS and Speed but only in 2008.5 models - 2008.5 (MPS and MS3) models had piano black trims in the interior, optional alcantara/leather seats or full black cloth seats with lower trims - 2008.5 Mazdaspeed only models had rare Metropolitan Grey colour - keyless entry was optional on MPS - MPS had auto lights, wipers and rear seatbelt lights as standard (not 100% sure but i saw them in all MPSs Ive been into) - "STI" blue was offered only in Australia and NZ, darker blue was Japan only - only xenon headlights had washers on MPS/MS3/Axelas - MPS in Europe had small, regular Mazda 3 spoiler - MPS in Europe had Aero package which included bigger spoiler, "M3" wing mirrors and - 30mm Eibach lowering springs

[@miss_axela]

Love the video sir so good makes me so happy made my day 😎

[@LifeOfTuners]

yeah whatever loser

[@miss_axela]

Wow so rude

[@MetroidGamerFan]

Also does the Axela Mazdaspeed have a rear fog light?

[@LifeOfTuners]

oh no it doesn’t

[@MetroidGamerFan]

@@LifeOfTuners Here in Germany it's mandatory even for import cars

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@MetroidGamerFan ohh right

[@ErukanuSenpai]

You should change the title and add the country which those cars are from, otherwise this could lead to confusion. Reason is the MPS here in Germany have nearly everything inside them, expect Sunroof and Navigation (those were the only extras you could add back then) The 7 HP difference is most likely due to Mazda's "rework" on the whole engine Lineup back then For example, my standard Mazda 6 from 2007 has also 7 more HP than the models pre-2007 due to the Engine's being "reworked" A Good indicator would be the Identification number on the Engine block

[@LifeOfTuners]

I’m starting to think that’s a good idea

[@nater9345]

Been watching u for a while, any clue on how to fix limp mode on mazdaspeed 6? Thanks

[@LifeOfTuners]

scan the check engine light and fix whatever’s wrong with it ahaha

[@Ali-sh4ib]

What’s your opinion on the mazda3 turbo? The tuning and aftermarket availability is starting to open up and it’s proving to be a pretty capable car

[@LifeOfTuners]

Oh yes haven’t looked too much into tuning it, but seems like a perfect daily with plenty of power, wouldn’t imagine it being heaps of raw fun just since it’s so refined

[@MetroidGamerFan]

The Speed cap is on the MPS aswell, only it's at 250 kph instead of 180 kph

[@LifeOfTuners]

yess depends on country as well

[@dachaclaassens6907]

I live in south africa ive got a red gen 1 mps and mine does not have the same steering controls and also dont have those headlight washer things

[@LifeOfTuners]

it’s very different across counties isn’t it

[@miss_axela]

Wowwwww my car

[@LifeOfTuners]

basically famous now

[@miss_axela]

Ofc

[@mazdasp33d33]

OH and MPS i saw some versions, like the swiss police version :D (undercover car) which had no leather seats. In USA u could by MS3 and MS3 GT, the GT version had those leather seats. While in Europe we only had the GT version, top of the line. There was no way to configure this car other then the colour. There was just wan setup to take.

[@mazdasp33d33]
