    Just got my HID's installed this weekend *pics*

    Yeah sorry, I didn't even think about posting a real write up until I was halfway done with the project. So it's like this. The stock bulb is held in place with a metal clip that just pushes down on the back of the bulb. So the only thing that holds the bulb in place is the tension from this...

    Just got my HID's installed this weekend *pics*

    What do you guys think about the temp? Should I go up to 5000k? I want the color to be more of an OEM shade. Well BMW, Acura, Chevy color....which all seem to be more blue/purple/white??? Hard to explain....but you can kind of see it in the side by side shot. The 4300k is more white, almost...

    Just got my HID's installed this weekend *pics*

    So I was talking about the HID temperature in another thread, and although the 4300k is what I eventually went with, I'm not sure if it's the right color I was hoping for. I took some OEM HID comparison pics with one of my other cars....and you can actually see they are very close in...

    Voiding Warranties

    That's it?? You need to make some for us older people that have been voiding warranties for years!! First warranty I voided was with my 1996 GSX. I swapped out the entire fuel system, FP Green Model Turbo upgrade, fmic, etc etc...24 psi on race....and they had the nerve to turn down warranty...

    Does anyone store their mazdaspeed 3 for the winter?

    What is the "winter storage" you guys speak of??? Hehe, sorry....just a lame CA joke since the coldest we see is about 60 degrees. Anyway...I would say the most important is fuel stabilizer and a trickle charger. A trickle charger is a MUST on my other cars when they sit...sometimes weeks at a...

    This video is just SICK!!!

    Sorry if it's a repost, but I had never seen it and thought I would share. Especially since there seems to be a lot of Subi owners or ex-owners on this forum for some reason?? Enjoy: (boom05) http://video.kenblockracing.com/flash/player/index.php?vendor_id=204&video_id=9183

    BODYKITS for ms3 !!!!!!!!!!!

    That is technically inaccurate. Ford does not ship car parts to Japan just so they can be assembled there. Ford owns a majority of the Mazda stock, therefore giving them the power to make most top Mazda decisions, and being able to use their parts and products across other auto lines. Mazda...

    HID Temp pics please!!

    I know Xenon Experts where I just ordered my kit from also sells just the bulbs. As for the bumper removal, from what I've heard...it's easier to install lights/bulbs on the MS3 as there is apparently more room to work with. I have an MS3, so I'm not sure how tight the fit is on a standard 3...

    HID Temp pics please!!

    Sweet, I think I'll stick with the 4300k then as well. My kit might be slightly different as I'm not going with the DDM, but that's mostly because I want the higher end one with the direct connect harness and relays. I'll post some pics once I get them installed, thanks! (drinks)

    HID Temp pics please!!

    Okay, so now after reading all this....I think I'm even more confused then before. Especially if you guys are stating that the HID stock projectors are different then halogen stock projectors. Another thing is that all the different brands yield different color results. Most likely this has to...

    HID Temp pics please!!

    Sup fellas, about to pull the trigger on an HID kit from http://www.xenonexpert.com/xtreme_hid.html but I can't decide on the color. Can you folks that upgraded to HID kits post some pics of the different color temps, and how they look in our standard projector headlights. I'm looking for an...

    mobil1 (not avg oil thread)

    Royal Purple is also some amazing stuff....I've seen the highest HP numbers from Royal Purple on my buddies "Oil Dyno Test" session. But Mobil 1 has been around forever, especially in racing circles. And when the oil cap on my $15k dollar hand built, dry sump LS7 engine states specifically...

    Mazda Specific Shops in the Bay Area?? Hey guys, I actually have a couple friends in the Bay Area that own performance shops and have a lot of experience in all types of vehicles (especially turbo imports), but I was wondering if anyone knows a shop in the Bay Area that tends to be like Mazda...

    mobil1 (not avg oil thread)

    Hehe.....I was about to say, that little storm they had was called Hurricane Ike! But then I saw you found that information. I'm not sure where you guys live, but you guys have Costco's right?? That's where I've been buying my Mobil 1 oil forever. They sell 10w30 and 5w30 boxes of 6. They just...

    FS: MazdaSpeed3 Sport Seats (Maybe)

    Ohh sweet, so there is some interest in the sport MS3 seats. I'm not sure what the price would be, but whatever regular market price is for them....maybe around $250 a piece or so ballpark???? I just wanted to see if there was demand for them so I can recoup some of the money I end up spending...
