What have you done to your MS3 today?

(drinks)
two rock chips on the WS courtesy of Swampass' tailgating problem.
That's all. 2. You are not putting enough effort in mister Swamp, there are many more chips to be had if you persevere. And DaleN is turning post *****, whats next on 24/7?
 
took off my carbon fiber hood and switched to stock. not a success story...

plus side: having my GV lip painted, as well as the sides of my carbon fiber hood painted. (lol2)

Stock Hood Weight: 39 lbs (including OEM air duct)
Carbon Fiber Hood Weight: 18-20 lbs (including OEM air duct)
 
What went wrong with the CF hood? and where did you get it from? (manufacturer not retailer)

haha. nothing is wrong with the hood. i'm painting the sides of the hood to match the car. it'll make more sense when the work is done. i'll take pix and keep u guys posted.

the hood is from Fiber Images.
 
Thanks, I thought the stocker wouldv'e weighed in heavier. But 20lbs savings is not bad. It seems you are pleased with the quality fit and finish on the FI hood. Look forward to pics
 
got my tires rotated and picked up my new O2 sensor from the dealer.....

OMG! Mazda! of course I would love to pay $187.50 for a new O2 sensor just because you have to have a machine put them in so a human cant possibly get them out without ruining them! Thanks! Love ya!
 
gave the girl her blood transfusion to Mobile 1 full syn. bought her some parts for the boost and a/f gauge install tomorrow

High heat anti seize can be your friend, friend.

There is something about an oil change that makes me feel good. When i first switched to synthetic on any of my cars i will swear i could hear the difference. The valve train on startup when cold seems so much smoother too.
