What have you done to your Mazda3 today?

[Akaveli]

Got my car retuned today. Woohoo! Can't wait to hit up the dragstrip again.

 

[tsunami]

nice... where is the dyno chart??

 

[Akaveli]

No printout. I did 151.6whp/150tq on their mustang dyno.

 

[thejeans]

installed an ETD (engine torque damper)

its even more fun now, made such a big difference

finally got my Cosworth BSD and ProtegeGarage Oil Pan Baffle installed today since i needed an oil change. I'll be damned if i ever do one of those again. haha

was it that bad? i plan on doing the same thing on my next oil change and was hoping it wasn't much of an ordeal.

im hoping to do the BSD this weekend along with my header and racepipe (as long as the header and racepipe remain on schedule i should get them thursday night of friday afternoon)

 

[sl0wthe0ry]

nah the BSD was easy as cake. but i was having the damdest time getting everything apart, breaking extensions and the balance shaft is factory torqued to like 1bajillion ft/lbs of torque. a/c compressor parts was easy, and once you find a way to slide the pan off itself (which there's really only one way that i've found), it's simple.

i ran a header/race pipe/catback combo for all of 2 weeks... way to loud!

(lol2)

I got the Catted Thunder Header from Gary (protephile)... so i dont think the set up will be obnoxiously loud,

not like i can piss the neighbors off anymore anyway, lol... roomate with an msp and the 3" ion turbo back exhaust (no cats) and then my buddy with an msp with 3" turbo back apexr1 (no cats, no resonator), so everyone on my street has gotten used to hearing ungodly loud cars (lol2)

 

[sl0wthe0ry]

ha! nice man. yeah mines pretty loud right now with the F2 catless header, 1 factory cat and custom vibrant exhaust with no res. it's much louder now with the BSD

 

[Akaveli]

I wish I could hear how ya'll cars sound cause the sound on my set up is very mild....or maybe i'm going deaf. lol I've been told several times my car isn't that loud at all but the inside of my cabin shakes. Aftermarket RMM, BSD & ETD = vibrations like a mutha! lol

 

[sl0wthe0ry]

ohhhhhhhhh yeah. my whole car shakes bad. i don't have the ETD yet. but soon.....

An ETD is a good addition to your car especially if you have an aftermarket RMM. (nana)

 

[my3needsaname]

Minor maintenance:
drove some
checked fluids
cleaned filters
...bolt fell out of my hatch (scratch)(ugh)

[thejeans]

Yup.

Another excellent mod. Have you notice any difference yet since you installed it? After I installed mines, my shifting became much smoother and the car felt stiff.
