What have you done to your MS3 today?

[fourthmeal]

Well I just got back from the dealer. Got my oil changed and ECU flashed. That seemed to make a big difference in power. Got a good wash and vac. Then my wife took the car with the kids to her mom's and you would never know the interior was just cleaned. 3 kids under 12 will do that. They fight over the hump seat because they can see the speedometer from there. "Dad your speeding..."

Sounds to me like you can take this opportunity to teach your kids mathmatics. It goes like this:

"If dad is going 22 mph over the speed limit, and the fine for speeding in this area is $10 per mile over the limit + $100 flat penalty, just how much less money will there be for presents for Christmas?"

First kid to answer correctly gets a gold star!

I haven't done anything yet. Although I am ordering a Prosport boost gauge tomorrow. I have found a couple of cat backs that I want too.

I installed it so I'll give the shout, it's on teh steering column right now until he figures out and geets a nice bezel to mount it in and where. It works and doesn't look too bad. It is in a single mount pod with 3M adhesive. Actually the same as yours just not screwed in. lol

cool, my autometer guage pod is real carbon fiber and was just 35 bucks

if you have the same one it should have come with a mounting bracket, the mounting braket wasn't to bad to screw down to that to peice on the steering collum, that peice on the top of the collum does just snap out and to can poke wholes in it and your mounted its reeally not that bad

nah, he has the same gauge, he got it form me, but the pod actually came with my prosport gauge and i used it to install on his. We didn't screw it down because it isn't going to stay there most likely, he needs to find a final place to mount it.

I Got my windows tinted... (50% in the front, and 15% all around back) soon i'll have my Mazdaspeed CAI. Should i let the dealer install it?

 

[ZooMIN3]

Incase some of you are wondering; Where did those emblems from the back go? The MazdaSpeed is just temporary...gonna see where else to mount it.

 

[BlackJack]

Just did a 10k oil change...5qts Royal Purple 5W-30 and 1qt Lucas oil stabilizer. Best s*** and runs so smooth now!

Sure, if he does it for free. Otherwise, do it yourself, it is not difficult and will be a good bonding experience with your car.

I dont have the tools... or experience. I want to do myself, but i wouldn't know where to begin. ??? im kinda pissed off speed world did my tints and the guy didn't clean some of my windows right so it left litles bubbles over dirt and hair.

In the industry, we call that a "comeback"

Its a do-over on their part, if they want to remain credible as a tinter.

For the price of the dealer install you can get a decent basic tool set and have change left over. Take a half a day, along with some advice from your friends here on the forum, and become more comfortable with doing this kind of stuff and less dependent on the type of people who leave bubbles in your tint.

GHL's reputation is top notch. Corksport has always made high quality parts for mazda's as well, but the sound/style of that exhaust wasn't exactly what i was looking for. Plus GHL has worked with my friends VW and I know they are super easy to work with and would send it right to my friends garage for the install

heu how much where those wheels they are really cool, are they the same size as the origianls?(burnout)
