What have you done to your MS3 today?

[Rotus]

lol, I have 1 year on one and 4 on the other.

In other news domino, pulling the front strut forward is adjusting the caster. Camber is movement towards or away from the centerline of the car. If you can push the strut in or pull it out with the mounting nuts loosened you would be adjusting camber.

Like eric said, there may be eccentric bolts for camber adjustment. I know that's what I used on my P5 for the rears, but the fronts had some adjustment built in.

 

[Domino81]

I think you misunderstood. I know caster, camber and toe. I didn't mean that way.

 

[jri4]

Thanks man. I wish I could say I'm doing anything to mine other than parting it out and selling it right now (sad1)

I'm sorry man. But let's be honest, cars and all the goodies in the world mean nothing compared to taking care of yourself and your family financially. It sucks that the courts are screwing you over, though.

I probably did. That happens a lot. My apologies.

Brought the car back from Mazda with a brand new transmission

 

[Domino81]

Hate.

 

[MSFANATIC]

Had to take the 19's off and put the stock back on because had belt separation in a tire already and it's only been 3mths since I bought the bitches. (FML )

Did you get an alignment after dropping it?

Gave Mazda a piece of my mind. Time to get this POS fixed already. /end rant

 

[superdoughboy4]

What's broken?

 

[79535]

High RPM rattle and cylinder 2 misfire in and out. This has been going on for ever but they never seem to fix it.

I'm thinking either bad injector or seal or possibly rotating assembly.

I've swapped plugs and coils and checked wiring. Misfire never jumped cylinders. I took it to a performance shop and put it on a dyno and had a listen. It sounds terrible from outside. The shop figured it was rotating assembly. 2nd motor with only 30000km on it.

I had the primary O2 sensor replaced less than 7000km ago and it's toast again, I'm assuming due to cylinder 2 dumping fuel in the exhaust. More money out of my pocket.

Just ordered SURE Blue Countershift, going to put up my like new PG shifter weight for sale.

 

[ericrapp]

why the change Kyros?
I have seen a couple of SURE parts being mentioned on the forums lately, whats up with them>i will look into it of course.
But what is the attraction.
What i did Today was rec'd my kinda cheap-o but grippy tires. love the smell of new tires
looks like a busy weekend with speed 3, if the temp drops back below 1000 degrees.
I was thinking of doing a video while going for some burnout record. i still have ... some... meat in center of tires. But i would be pissed if i hurt the wheels.
i still have the stock tires on the stock rims in garage. those spun like crazy in second gear launch at track when stock and i am running 5 more lbs of boost now. Now that might be good fun
any body here ever do a you tube vid with smoke rolling? At the track of course.
i would have to find some slippry tarmac and some sponsors hahaha!
"More money out of my pocket." sorry to hear all this bad stuff Smoke. Nobody should have to deal with crap like that. Second motor and same issue, thats crazy.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

SURE is just street unit's new brand name. It all looks pretty but I don't know about the quality. Could be great for all I know.

On another note, does anyone have their stock floor mats in very good to new condition? I'm looking for some since they didn't come with the car.

 

[oaklandopen]

The Mazdaspeed mats, steering wheel, pedals shifter boot dash upgrades, seats and shifter boot and knob, are super cool on the speed 3
