What have you done to your MS3 today?

Hailed like a sumbitch here. Darted across 4 lanes of traffic to a gas station to save my car. Got gas. Went home. No damage.

I dealt with that same thing with all the tornadoes in Alabama. I drove in the hail to get out of it and got under a gas station roof. Hail was a bit bigger than golf ball size. After it stopped I hauled ass I mean I really hauled ass got my car up too 135mph to get home.
 

Wait a minute. You have a 2010 3i, right? 135mph?

I need a ruling here folks!!!

The 1st gen NA's were electronically limited to 118, and I have no reason to believe they've changed that in the second gens.
 

Y'know, I was thinking the same thing!!
But don't forget the Mazda and the Custom FrankenMazda3 decals.
They should be good for about 10 more hp each, plus they have the ability to override the electronics at will.

raised my redline to 7k, lowered my ECT fan command, gonna hit the strip soon and see if i can hold 4th through the traps
 
^Busted!

I swapped out the factory reverse lights for some silverstars. nice blueish tint when off, and seem brighter from the inside when on. might try doing a comparison pic when its dark

Are you trapping more than 105/107?
 
not sure

last dyno was 286whp/320wtq - SRI/TIP/Tune @ 18psi, since then ive added a fmic/tp/cbe/retune@21psi so i should have a decent bump in power
 
My MS3 got a wash, but my mom's MPV...

I have no idea how long it'll last, but it's good enough for now...
 
^^^omg the tune literally takes minutes

The other day I got bosch wipers for the mazda and the ram. And out of the 4 I bought, only 1 had the proper connector. For whatever reason the other 3 were not the correct ones. I don't know if its bosch's fault, or someone went clepto at walmart, but I ended up sliding the. Blades out and putting them in the old arms so they'd still work

Next time I will either have to double check before purchase, or get the rainX ones. I went with bosch because as the curved blades go, they were the "cheapest" at like $12 compaired to $17 (RainX, at walmart).

And, yet again, I totally forgot about the rear wiper. Been using the same blade for forever now, and wipes water about as well as one of those brown paper towels from grade school
 
I had the same problem with my rear wiper, I got a brand new one and it is only marginally better than the crappy one I replaced.
 
RockAuto sells cheap wipers that fit perfectly, even for the rear wiper. I think the ones I bought were ACDelco, and they seem to work pretty nice. I just put them on a few weeks ago!
 
For the rear I just buy generic and cut it down to fit. I rarely use it, but when I do I at least want it to rid the glass of water and dirt buildup
