I have the MS CAI installed but I opted not to put the watershield on. I do have a makeshift water block between the filter and the plastic wheel well so that water doesnt come through the slits from the tire onto my filter. Not having the shield on hasnt caused a problem in the two years I have...

welcome to the speed3 family.

Will take some this weekend while I'm at the carshow in Austin, TX. That way the car will be spotless clean.

Yea I did it myself. Hardly any trouble at all. The pin on the drivers side is a pain due to how little room you have to work with but nothing a little muscle wont fix. Took me about a half hour to do all the work. I was working slow and taking my time though.

Over the weekend wrapped the center console (cupholder area and around the stick shifter) in 3M Carbonfiber vinyl. Also did the door sills where the aluminum Mazdaspeed logo is. Will slowly work my way up over the ashtray toward the radio.

Sounds to me like there a pipe loose somewhere. After installing my FMIC I had a similar problem. Turns out one of my couplings popped off on my FMIC. Just wasnt tight enough. And I agree make sure the little rubber hose is plugged back in and secured with that crappy little metal clip.

(flame) I agree...seriously do these guys even know how to drive? Sometimes I think they only mention the torquesteer because they cant find anything else they dont like about the car. I mean look at all the speed 3's we have on this forum..from the 07 to the 2010... There is such a large number...
