Changed the oil, had to buy penzoil ultra because walmart was out of platinum.. Probably a marketing ploy to get me to pay the extra 8 bucks for it.

I got some magnetic vinyl and turned my Mazdaspeed3 into a "Counterfeit MINI" for my upcoming MINI Cooper road trip. (400+ MINIs at Deal's Gap) I am still working on the side markers, so they're not pictured below.

That is so cool. I'll be down that way in June at EECMM.

 

[Gmac03]

wait, your pissed the shocks lasted 40k.....how long did you expect a sport suspension to last?

Obviosly longer than this. I honestly would say that any suspension should last around 100k miles. And I understand a worn suspension, where the parts just don't function like they used to. But shocks that are blown, leaking oil, broken, is not right.

Installed a TurboXS BPV. I like it. Similar sound to a Forge but less ping and more schwing. A bit more subtle.

Finally returned the MS3 back to stock. Took half the day with the help of my friend and brother. Left the CS inserts and spin-on oil filter conversion on the car. Didn't feel like messing with them. Might get to them later next week.

Lots of goodies for sale soon! Looking for a good deal on a reliable P5 now...

Are you getting rid of your speed ?

Are you getting rid of your speed ?

Yup

 

[rice ahoy]

How is it?

Had my MS3 stock for 26k miles and now THIS AWESOMENESS lol. Car sounds slick and has alot more pull at lower RPM (about 2500). And the power delivery feels smoother.

deleted rear wiper, installed oem rear bumper skid plates, received my muteki extended open ended lugs to replace my neo-chromes, and re-wired my sub into my amp under the seat. Nextmod spoiler lip and mirror covers are getting airbrushed custom carbon fiber this weekend

LOL! Too funny...

Washed and waxed it this morning. Currently pouring rain. Leaving for a road trip at 6:30 a.m., so if the rain leave spots, well... &$%# it.

This is an annual tirp for me... it usually waits until I get to NC and wash the highway dirt off to rain on me. 7 years in a row, never have made it thru the trip without rain while in NC. Maybe the pre-soak is a good omen? Or maybe it means I'll be whitewater rafting in the MS3 by Wednesday... lol

ordered a hydroshield prefilter for my Injen CAI and going to block off the vents in the wheel well (hydrolock scares me).

Also ordering a Cobb AP this week.

 

[coyfish]

If your going to block off the vents than screw the CAI and just get an SRI. That defeats the purpose really.
