What have you done to your MS3 today?

[8.5MS3]

thanks for the compliments guys. yes i will be painting the center caps to match, but since they are plastic they cant be PC'd. so i ordered some metal mazda center cap overlays that will be powdercoated then adhered over the OEM caps once i pull off the chrome mazda emblem. problem is they come in from china and take 15-20 working days (notcool)

Dealer called me, car was smoking, changed to 5w40 and told to report back if it starts smoking again. Will be staying stock until i can make it smoke and get a new turbo

tires mounted, now i just need my damn car back (warning ginormous pics ahead):

I think the Mazda logo valve stem covers would look good with that as well.

My stupid hotside piping blew apart again today. In the same spot too (rant) damn non beadrolled pipe in the PG kit!!!! I buying a longer coupler for it tomorrow. The one that came with the kit is just long enough, but its location is almost better suited with a hump hose. IDK, its been fine since i installed it. But now its come apart twice this week. Longer coupler/hump hose seems like the easy fix. Any other suggestions out there?
