Hot or cold...mine has been reading the same. About 1/8inch to 1/4inch above full...

Hmmm....That is weird...I've noticed now though, that as my engine burns the oil back down to the "full" line, there is less smoke coming out my tailpipe. I wonder how much Mazda flooded my engine with...? Has anybody had an Oil Analysis done on their MS3 used oil? I've heard of one being...

They changed my oil prior to me installing the DP and MP...They probably just dump the oil in there and dont care how much they put in, just as long as it reads full or above full. Definitely not having anybody else change my oil anymore...seems as if I always have problems when others do it...

I bought the Turboxs HBOV as well. Also, put 4 washers in there. Only had one backfire under heavy acceleration. Mods are below...would the backfire most likely be from the new BOV? Or from the DP and MP? Or is it because of a combination of both? Not that the backfire scared me or...

Very glad you brought this up. I too have experienced the same smoking in my car. Just recently had my DP and MP installed as well. I've been checking my oil and its way above the fill line (Stealership oil change). Its even above the little bent part of the dip stick. Hopefully when I...

Yeah...My car will do the same thing. But there is a window of mis-opportunity there where if you hit it...BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! Oh well...I think I'll just unlock my car as soon as I'm right next to it from now on. Atleast until that starts setting off the alarm. Friggen horn...

Yeah...It aint no VTEC YO!

LOL, yeah, atleast I do have an alarm. And atleast it works! But it works when I dont want it to! ARGH! I used to think the horn was pussy sounding, but in all honesty, its annoying as fack! Mazda knew what they were doing when they installed that horn!

Hope this is the right place to post this as I didn't know if it fell under electronics or ECU. My friggen alarm is annoying as hell! I'll unlock the doors with my remote, hitting it twice to unlock all doors. Take the next ten steps to get to my car, open the doors and BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...

Actually, my buddy took the pictures. The three above HDRs were taken as a RAW and then he did some photoshopping. The other two are just regular photos. He has an SLR camera so it definitely helps with creating HDRs. What is ghosting? I'm assuming its from taking multiple exposures and...

Yesterday a buddy and I spent about 8 hours detailing our cars and then took them out to take some pics. Some are HDRs, some are regular photos. Hope you all enjoy!

LOL, I see you scratched your stock airbox a lil trying to install that bad boy. It looks nice though! I have the mazdaspeed CAI so I believe I wouldn't have a problem installing the BPV. There is a ton of space there right now. With just the intake I have, I can really hear the stock BPV...

Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming you have either an SRI or a CAI, lestat? Does it sound funny that you have 50% recirculating and then 50% VTA? Or does the VTA overpower the recirculating noise that comes out the intake?

Hopefully I will be "fine". I do live in Minnesota and it gets quite cold here. However, in the winter, I dont really drive hard. Maybe for this year, I'll stick with just the boltons and then next spring possibly splurge on some sort of tuning hardware. Yeah, Haberdashery...the AP was...

AARRGGG....Didn't know I needed some sort of tuning hardware...thought they could just hack into my computer and do the tuning from there. Oh well...looks like no tune for me... The turboxs HBOV I did read incorrectly. I thought it was either recirculating or full VTA, not both at the same...
