This is interesting, I have a similar sounding noise to what you described when driving in 5th gear only, on the highway. Did it get louder when you gave it more gas?
 
Sorry this is like a month late.. no it didn't get louder with acceleration. It decided randomly when to make the sounds.

Other than that the car has run great since then, so I haven't been posting much, just enjoying the ride.
However, I just bought myself an early Xmas present (cabpatch)
Scored a pair of black JDM tails from Walkingchaos here on the forums.
Hopefully I can catch a mild day soon to install them... the weather here is ******* miserable.

ALSO I GOT CUSTOM PLATES!
HAHAHA I've wanted a custom plate forever but never knew what I wanted it to say... but the other day it came to me, and my registration was up so I said what the hell.
So in a few weeks when they come in the mail I will proudly be displaying a picture sporting the new tails and plates!
Honey badger don't care about my plates being online!!! (eekfu) (rofl2)
 
Oh ya meant to send you these. Heres the tails installed. Think I may have to steal your rear blacked out valence look, really like that :D

the blacked out valence was SO SO SOOOO easy to do. I always loved the way it looked on the speed3's now I have my own hah.

Ok so heres a flood of questions / comments:
Do you have the mazdaspeed axel back too?
I LOVE your CF hood, if you ever get tired of it I call dibs.
If you've been thinking of getting a stubby antenna for the car, go to a dodge dealer and pick up a replacement OEM 08 Charger's antenna, it fits perfectly (mine is from my parents' lol)
Are those sedan side view mirrors or did you get CF covers or paint them, what'd the deal lol
What % are your tints? limo?!?!
Also if you've been on the fence about doing the mazda6 hatch rear wiper mod, it's so worth it.
Interior pics?

/end rant
 
LOL ok, hell of a list. Here we go :

Had the Mazdaspeed axel back, loved it but it got a bit droney seeing as i commute a LOT during the week. Painted the oem axel back black, had a nice stainless tip welded on, and im happy
If i told you how much I paid for the CF hood youd shoot yourself (or maybe me) But yes you get first dibs when the hood goes.
How is your reception with the Dodge antenna ? I got a one piece black billet one, about 14" long. Reception has been good and it looks cool :) Do you have pics of your antenna ?
The mirrors are P5s with CF covers, matches the hood ;)
Tint is 35% in the front and 20% in the back
The Mazda 6 rear is TOTALY worth it. I think its only 38$ and it works way way better then the stock P5 piece. All you need to do is grind down the base hub a bit and youre golden.
Ill have to snap some interior pics, dont have any right now.

that all ?

Btw if you find a part number on those Tribute sprayers let me know. do you know what year you need them from ?
 
The reception with the dodge antenna is no different than what I got with my stock antenna. I love it because it is much sleeker but short and has a really oem look to it.
This was with stock

Wutlezz post up in the club section there or message Evade or Hkpro5 about joining.

There's also a bunch of people parting out in the p5 marketplace that I'd check out for the crossbars.

And thanks for the love :D I'm mostly in the Farmingdale / Floral Park / Douglaston / Astoria area.
If you wave I'll wave back. I promise!

I use to go to the races on rt110, work around floral park lol im sure we will bump into eachother. i also use to be present at the tuesday and wensday night meets at bestbuy in baldwin.

So happy :D
 
haha thanks! I get this stupid smile on my face whenever I walk up to my car now :D

My mailman came over to me the next day when I was installing the plates and he goes "Ah, so you're the one with the custom plates. Did you get them on yet? ... Oh looks good... so, what does it mean?" I then enlightened him to rage comics... When he came back down from delivering my blocks mail he goes "Hey! These are pretty funny! Thanks kid!" As he strolls to his mail truck on his phone. lol WIN!

MX-p5, I dunno if I ever thanked you for hooking my boyfriend up with the connection for the miata parts...but if I didn't THANKS! lol they all worked out so well.
He just had some problems with his fans not turning off but he sourced a part for it and it should be up and running again soon.
Then I can give him his Christmas presents and he'll be quite the happy camper as I am.

If anyone is selling Universal Urethane Rally Armour mudflaps I'm looking to pick up a set...as mine are starting to flap and hold the bend, unlike last winter when they would pop back.
I mean it's not the end of the world...it just bugs me...
 
So, I went up to Walkingchaos' place on Tuesday. Now I have new tires, a CF hood, and a new red painted valve cover :D I love it.

In the process of installing the new hood.
