What have you done to your MS3 today?

[Shiroi_ms3]

2-1/2 YEARS!!! I couldn't stand the place and WALKED OUT after 5 weeks!!! This was back in the mid-'90's.
I do my best not to throw ANY business to Worst Buy.
From my own experience, they do treat their people like sh*t, and instead of giving them good training, wait for them to f*uck up and then yell at them for it. I can't tell you how many unanswered questions I had asked only to be chastised when I did something wrong. **** Best Buy and the Chinese trawler they rode in on too.
No... It'll be a long f*ckin' time before I give them any of my hard earned money. Sorry. Read that post and could not resist.

End of opinionated rant. Thanks for playing.

Oh, and the stripes look good babyface.

I've worked at Best Buy as well as a Media Sup, I like what I did I hated how management treated not only me but my team as well. I lasted for about a year before I said F*ck it. If you weren't friends with the managers you just got shafted. I would come in like 10 minutes late, write up for me. One of their friends shows up hungover 3 hours late they just joke around about getting some lunch later.
Hate the place.

I installed my MAZDASPEED hood stripes today! Now I just have to wait for the bubbles to go away.

WOW -- looks great, where'd you get them? expensive? and was install tricky to get everything to line up perfectly? did u do it alone or did you have an extra set of eyes/hands to help you out?

I got them from a guy on another forum. He was selling them here but it got deleted because he must have not got vendor status. I installed them myself with no experience with vynals at all. Its verry easy. He gave a set of instructions with them and made it to easy to mess up.

RX-8 wheels and Yokohama YK520s in 225/45. Man, I love RX-8 wheels on the SP3.

Installed my CP-E CAI. I made a thread comparing it to my old COBB SRI:

Spent a couple hours re-routing cables inside the car. Now my sirius radio is positioned neatly inside the change holder with the lid still able to close shut.
Was also able to hide the radar detector cable under the rubber along the driver's side pillar, all the way to under the front seat and across to the center console.

All cables are now hidden in the center console neatly tie-wrapped to keep them out of the way of any moving parts. Didn't have to drill either which I liked.

Is that on stock suspension? The wheel gap isn't bad at all if so! I can't wait to put my rx8's on. I just want to get 225/45/18's first. They've got 225/40/18's on right now.

That's one sexy looking car. I wish I could have gotten CWP. Most people wouldn't have noticed the upgrade from my white Protege5 if I had that on rx8's!

Yep, stock suspension (Cobb RSB, but that's not a factor). I took her out and flogged her through some favorite twisties yesterday. Ride and noise are better than the stock Potenzas and the grip is the same. Very pleased. I still wonder if 235/45s would fit. Guess I won't find out for a long time.

Thanks, I like the CWP as well. Glad I waited for it.

Took some more pics as well. Added to the existing album:

just finished installing my corksport dp.

nice piece you will notice the difference I think. i pulled my h brace and retorqued my Corking and checked the hardware on the the front sway bar. All good. It seems the lexus IS300 is not all that strong or even close. hmm

 

[Shiroi_ms3]

I just got my second oil change at 4800 miles.

 

[ChrisK]

Installed CP-E intake, Corksport DP, Corksport RP, TRZ motor mount, and BROKE THE STUPID A/F SENSOR! So I can't even drive it yet, had to fork out $440ish on that.

 

[Kain]

How the hell did you break the MAF installing the intake?

 

[SwampAss]

drop it.

 

[MikeHTally]

Installed the spin-on oil filter conversion and the quick oil change valve.

 

[micronesia]

1000 miles checkup

 

[DaleNixon]

Covered it with a car cover, let it endure Gustav, smashed it with a rake accidentally (clay bar removed the scrapes leaving no clearcoat behind )

Drove it through countless traffic lights that didn't work.

 

[micronesia]

I'm am currently doing a major job on my garage to get the car inside before winter. If I'm lucky the car will actually fit (the second side of the garage is dumb)

 

[mr_mazda329]

I painted my Calipers Red. Did it by hand with the stuff from Autozone. I've used it before on the miata and its very durable.

 

[micronesia]

How long till it takes the paint to rub off the other surface? 1 mile? XD
