Swapped the summer shoes on.
Looks great! Now you need to convince the wife to let you drop it and close up some of that wheel gap, haha!

Put new wheels on. No idea what brand. Traded my Enkei EDR9s for them. Tires are 245/40ZR18. I'll post pics today. Also installed a motor mount into my friends MZ3 hatch. When we got his old one out it fell into two pieces. So I guess that was the problem. Haha. Oh, I have a COBB AP coming in the mail today. Sook excited!

Dropped her off at the dealer to get the windshield noise fixed under the TSB. Got a call a bit later saying that they goofed and only ordered one foam strip when they need ten. The other nine are being overnighted and the car will be fixed tomorrow. They made good on it and I'm getting a ride there at lunch to pick up a rental car for the day.
*edit*got the rental....let's just say it's like night and day between driving my lowered P5 as a dd. lol

Nothing but have hopes of driving her home by next Wednesay. Since dropping her off for a simple TSB fix, I've dealt with the wrong number of parts being ordered, a tech cracking the windshield trying to remove the wiper arm, forced to be insistent on having OEM glass to replace the one THEY damaged (they wanted to use a local glass company and aftermarket glass as it was convenient for them), a 90 minute trek on Thursday to swap the truck for something greener since I'll have the rental for close to a week (there is now an Avenger in the garage), told today that the glass they had rushed was damaged by UPS and then had to be insistent again on having ANOTHER OEM windshield ordered. Can't wait to see what Monday brings!

I watched my mazda get bombed by a flock of birds. The entire parking lot is covered in bird s*** now. FML. So I guess a deep wash is in order.

lol....well I pre-paid for 4gallons at $3.42 a gallon and have had an Avenger since last Thursday. Still waiting for OEM glass...apparently the dealership never got their 'dedicated order' from Mazda today. Sounds shady to me. That said, I may not have the car until Friday.

It's been a while since I was on here, but about 3 weeks ago I received my SRI/TIP from CorkSport. About one week before I left for vacation, I was so anxious that I decided to install it and have some fun before our trip. Well, the long and short of it, I had the worst install experience because of my lack of knowledge/noobness. What should have been a 90 minute install took me around 6 hours (no joke) for the first day. The first problem I encountered was the lack of lighting (I started around 8pm after my car cooled down); I was using flashlights/led lights to work on the car so the lack of lighting proved to be annoying switching the positioning and angle the lights were hitting the engine bay (I wish I had a garage!). Secondly, I was lil confused with certain instructions so that slowed me down. And lastly, I effing broke the nipple that connects the boost solenoid to the silicone hose CS provided that essentially connects to the TIP. Pictures to come of the project finished but this is just a caution to all -- BE GENTLE WITH THE STOCK HOSE REMOVAL! Here are some overdue photos of the speed emblem from the hatch to the passenger side and vinyl on the fog trim (which looks better in person). Also posted some pics of the merchandise I received from CS because I just love how they package all their products- SO PROFESSIONAL! But I love the end product especially the sound the SRI makes on boost. I think 2nd to 3rd above 6psi it sounds so nice.
