What have you done to your 2010+ Mazda3 today?

Picked her up at the dealer!!! OEM windshield is in as well as the insulators! :D Now let's see if we get more chatter once the colder temps hit in the fall/winter....

I hope it works out - that was quite an ordeal you went through! What dealer did you use? I hope it wasn't Scott, or else I may need to find a new dealer, lol!

lol...you are good, it was Flemington. It was a helluva an ordeal and the wife and I were very frustrated but I do have to say that the service guy always kept his cool, treated me professionally and was courteous. Sometimes things just happen. (shrug)

Yesterday was a simple drive to the mall. :D

Well, I'm glad to hear that's all behind you now!
 
Took mine to the stealership yesterday for her 30k mi. service and a free car wash. They gave me $20 off since they didn't have to replace the air filter (as I have the CorkSport SRI), and I had a $25 off coupon. It should've been $300, but I paid $255, which I think is still excessive.
 
installed corksport motor mount bushings and chipped my front tooth wen a wrench slipped out of my hand. Motor mount still needs to be tightened more. :/
 
Bought a brand new 2011 3 and put new rims on it.

^^^ Say good bye to understeer! I love mine. Today I mounted up my Cobb AP with a WalMart five dollar vent hanger. It actually is amazing how well it works.
 
I will post a pic this weekend. Finally installed my full tune on my COBB AP. Been adding one change at a time. I dyno'd at 247whp 280wtq at 18.5 lbs of boost, 11.77afr, 0 KR, and maintained 1635psi or better on the stock CDFP. not too shabby.
 
Got the Tint done this weekend. 35% on the front two and 5% on all the rears. I gotta say, couldn't be any happier with the results.
 
Question for the guys with 2010 MZ3s...what are the actual gains with a SRI and CBE? I moved from an '08 Speed 3 to a '10 MZ3 and the slowness is killing me.

Edit: Just found them for the corksport stuff. The SRI and CBE takes the car from 158 to 171. Not a bad investment!

Replaced the worn OE wiper blades with some Duralast Flex blades. Was looking at the Bosch Icons (which I had on my P5 and liked) and the RainX Latitude (which I now have on the P5 and the jury is still out on) but seeing that the Flex are similiar in design and were buy one get one 50% off, I figured it couldn't hurt to try them.
