What have you done to your MS3 today?

Just installed a new set of Denso Itv-22 plugs gapped at .28 without any kind of AP loaded, and MAN what a difference so much better throttle and engine response, it drives like it should again!!

Running those plugs without a high boost tune will result in plug fouling a lot faster than normal.

Just something to keep in mind.
 
Yea that's what I heard, but hey what the hell for the time being its running good and lets just see how long it lasts. so far so good. had a problem with car running hot (moving) and car would loose power but with these babies in so far no more issues.

I had actually done the same thing as you. I tend to drive this car like it's on fire, and I had no fouling issues. It's just something I've heard going around.

Too many guys driving like nannies :)

Well looks like down the road I will be getting a reflash instead of the AP so I think I'm golden.
 
installed my rally armor mud flaps and removed rear collars from my BC coilovers, 1 finger gap front and rear now, I can't even get my jack under the sides behind the front tires, LOL. Drives like it is on rails. Also adjusted my progress sway bar and AWR end links, car is clunk free, noise free, and planted like a sumabitch. I am VERY happy. The mud flaps look sick with the mag blue wheels, almost matches now!

The Mazda gods have clearly cursed you.

no pics yet...and it is LOW...they are just a inch or 2 from the road, looks sick LOL. I HATED the mud flaps when I put them on back in october with the wheels when they was silver, but with them blue now, I think they look sick...idk why lol. Oh well, atleast that $100+ is being put to use now instead of sitting in a box. I LOVE my CP-E...one of the best mods I've done yet!

BTW, if anyone is interested, I am making a FS thread later with a TRZ rear motor mount, H&R springs (with fronts still mounted on OEM struts with 26k miles), a brand new set of the black hood lifts for a MS3 from partplaza (I ordered black and cf, I kept the CF, selling the black now) and contemplating putting my turbosmart bpv up for sale.

I just installed the Redline Italian leather shifter boot and brake boot. The black leather and JDM red stitching match the stock seats perfectly. This is a nice upgrade from the stock vinyl boot which looked even cheesier after I put in the new shifter knob. It looks classy now.

The leather goods were shipped all the way from Poland. My wife usually gets mad when I spend money on the car but since she is part Polish she is very much into Polish items. Only last week she showed me her new Polish shoes (2 pair.) "Look honey they are from Poland!" Hehe it was my turn tonight: "Look honey my latest Speed 3 mods are from Poland!" I have to savor this moment of triumph while it lasts however brief! (alright)
