Well, i always liked this thread for the P5s, and i think its time we have our own. Post here what you have done to your mazda3. Whether it is a nice wash or wax. Or maybe you installed a new part. Cleaned the interior? Vaccum the trunk? Anything you have done to it. tell us about it.
This is not an off topic thread so keep it on topic and have fun!

I'll start:
I removed all the change that spilled under the e brake. It always rolls off when i accelerate hard (basically every time light changes red to green) and drops right in the opening for the e-brake. Really annoying.
I picked it all up today, no more clinging when i drive.

Shouldn't that be "AxelaSpeed3?"

If I may... either the 3 needs to be higher, or the Axela needs to be lower. It just doesn't look right that way... imo.

edit: BTW: Here's mine...

i know, thanks for the input but i just wanted to be different and not have it alligned properly, i lined the 3 with the smaller caps on the badge.

as for the "axelaspeed", dont want anyone glancing at the rear and knowing that its a speed, eventhough they can tell by the front and rear bumper, just dont want to be advertising speed on my car thats all :D

You seem to be trying to post them from your desktop, as you would an e-mail. That won't work. You have to host them, either here on site, or using one of the many picture hosting sites online.
The link should start with: "www." or "http://" not "file:"

I was kinda' joking about the AxelaSpeed comment, but that could be cool too. I understand though that you are going for that "stealth" look. If mine was a speed, I'd want to advertise it myself. (rlaugh)
Thanks for the props on mine. It/they can be a pain to take care of, especially after the summer sun and road chips get to them after a time.

 
well, ive had it for a week and a half and im just getting to this... but in the week and a half, ive done 35% tint, and silverstar front turn signal bulbs (had them lying around from my old car)

What been your experience on the race pipe? Mine feels like I lost a TON of torque but I can push well over 5500 rpm with power. I don't dyno for a few weeks yet but I am leaning heavily towards going back to stock.
 
Changed the oil for the first time today (since Mazda was lazy to fit me in their schedule) and also took the side moldings off. Looks SOO much better, but a few minor stratches here and there :(. I'll be getting the touch-up paint soon anyway.


If anyone's wondering, I put in QuakerState Horsepower 5W-30.

EDIT: Does anyone know an easy way to cover/get rid of the stratches? It's thin marks, but also penetrated through the coating.

A really good wax will hide the scratches temporarily, as well as protect the paint underneath the coating...u have to keep up with it tho
 
Most QUALITY high-end detail shops can probably clear it up for you. Look around. Go where the EXPENSIVE cars go.

Put in the AWR front MM... man the tires respond better, but the vibration just tripled @ idle. I also noticed a new sound in 1st and 2nd gear that I never heard before... It's either my exhaust rattling under my butt or something worse... I am hoping that it's just the exhaust hangers needing to be replaced.
