Thanks!

yeah .. that grille wasn't what I expected .. but once I got it on, it kind of grew on me .. plus I really didn't like the cheap plastic looking honey comb .. still keeping my eye open, but this one will do for a while.

yeah, I am was thinking about doing something to make my FMIC more noticable, but I think it will be fine through the stock grille

speaking of which, if you havent seen the threads on the development of this kit.......

lets try 1 more time

lets try again

i like the drop bbd, what springs did you use?
i do like the grill actually, anything better than the ugly plastic honeycomb. where did you get it?

Phil, you should just remove the lower grill and let the IC shine through.

I got the Eibach Pro-Kit and also put on the Eibach camber kit.

I got it from http://stores.ebay.com/California-Auto-Performance-Online . I guess there are different models between the hatch and the sedan. I just emailed them and Brent made sure I got the right one.

I agree .. that thing looks really nice coming through there, just not sure how the front would look empty.

I had the lower grille off once to do the test fit for my body kit. If I remember correctly, there are big pieces for the grille to clip into that look really funny with nothing clipped in them. I will try anyway

Update w/ just a little gallery (25 pics) from a few weekends ago...

I really love the RX-8 wheels on the white car. Do believe I will be doing the same after I get done with finishing my basement. That is sucking my funds for the time being.

HEEEEEEEEELPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEAAAASSEE!!!!! i bought a '04 Mazda3 and I don't know what to do since it's AT. I don't like AT's, everytime i'm coming to a stop i look for the clutch and wander why the shifter feels so wierd (pissed)
I had a 2003 PR5 before that and it was pretty sweet besides that whoever had it before me prolly never did an oil change, abused the little. 2.0 pretty ******* bad and grinded the s*** out of every single gear [including reverse...dumbass] ANYWAY, i want to nkow if it's possible for me to become friends with the 3's AT? I know it's tectronic but it's still not the same...not even close. Oh and one last thing, Injen RD or Fujita F5? and are they both 2-piece [so i can calm my paranoid ass about hydro-locking my engine and put an aem air bypass valve on] and what do you guys think of motegis on it? Anyway, here are the pics

LOVED THOSE TIRES!!!!!!!!!!
...if it only wouldn't have been in such a bad shape =(

but here's my new gurl

haven't done anything to the car so far.....I tried to put on a cone filter until i get a CAI which should be as soon as possible but it wouldn't crank due to the MAF i believe....****** AT

sounds like you need to trade it in for a stick, but even it has a MAF.

the MAF is a pain since it's sitting in the air box instead of being on the air pipe..thing. Is there a way to put on a cone filter until i get my intake? and also are fujita and injen both 2 piece? i don't know which one to get since i'm planning on putting an AEM air bypass valve on it...it'd be awesome to hear your opinion on it. oh and what do you htink of the motegis on it?

 

[goldwing2000]

AEM Bypass Valve is a waste of money. They dry out, disintegrate and get sucked into your intake.

Just don't drive through any lakes and you'll be fine. If you're that worried about it, use an SRI instead of a CAI.

they disintergrate and get sucked into my intake? well **** that, thanks a lot. Would an SRI be as effifient as a CAI though?i nkow it's only like 3-5 ponys a the most with stock everything else but wouldn't it suck hot air in from around the engine bay?

Oh and for now i opened the stock air box a little bit, i'm not gonna screw anything up that way, am i? you nkow, rain and dust and stuff like that. it's basically just like a quarter inch open on all sides

I agree, i have driven in some realy heavy down pours with no problems, just miss the large deep puddles. and for a cone fillter with the MAF you would have to make some bracket to hold it in a tube kinda like the CAI do and the SRI. basicaly a custom SRI
