What have you done to your MS3 today?

[MM BOOST]

Just some careful cutting with some dikes and then sanded them smooth. Thanks

 

[oaklandopen]

Dikes....is there anything they cant do?


you are actually one of a very minute amount of ppl besides me who refer to that tool as a pair of dikes. i often get critisized by ppl im around when i happen to use that term. their like "huh whut?". so of course i have to go on to say "wire cutters" or something

 

[MM BOOST]

Dikes ftmfw. They are the s*** too...cut the lip perfectly!

I imagine hard-working, man-hating, combat boot wearing, shaved head, angry lesbians working on your car. It's a disturbing image.

 

[MM BOOST]

idk, kinda turned me on personally. Regardless, those manly dikes did a helluva job putting the lip on my car

 

[fish20bcm]

Installed SU RMM...should have done it sooner, much better driving experience in the MS3 now

Got my car cleaned by mother nature this morning. What a thoughtful b****!

Have to say your car looks perfect.

I'd rub a lot more if I had that lip. I love it, and I even saved a search for one on Ebay for the longest time, but never had the balls to do anything about it. Maybe I'll look into it again.

Thanks man...it's far from perfect and definitely far from complete on the outside, but it is getting there. I got some stuff going down next week that should only be adding to the look of the exterior.

I'm using "dike" to describe that tool until I die.

Lol, this drives my wife nuts!

Wife: "where's the snips"
Me: "what the **** are snips"
Wife: "you know to cut with"
Me: "Are you wanting my dikes again"
Wife: "They're ******* snips!"

Its always fun to take the car to dealers and they know nothing or next to nothing about the ms3....especially fellow mazda dealers. i went to check out the cx5 and chatted it up with the salesman. i kept having to reiterate that i had "the turbo one"

i like the cx5....been reading up on the skyactivD. muuuuuuuuuch better choice than a prius, and id never get a vw. so im anxiously waiting for the diesel to be available for us yanks

Big get together here in NY today. About 20 cars all getting some maintenance/mods done.

I just did an egr delete, car runs much smoother. No CEL as of yet, when my lazy ass decides to update and reflash my map ill do it.

One of the guys broke the stock pcv valve on another car doing an occ, Impromptu intake manifold removal ensued. My hands are killing me

 

[Domino81]

You guys suck for being so far away.

My ex handing handing over my 9-year old son to me full time is. And so is the snow and the salt that I don't drive my car in. I don't care if anyone calls me a pussy. Keeps my car from rotting away like all the cars here eventually do.
