What have you done to your MS3 today?

[Saskatchewan17]

Lara... Wow, I'm really excited to see the white wheels on the white hatch! Great work with the painting too! Those center caps are amazing, did they come with the wheels?

Yeah they do. They are Racing Hart wheels from the Mazdaspeed Protege.

 

[LaraS]

^ Correct. These are from the 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege.

 

[RADAR THIS]

yeah in 18's they would look hot!

 

[Saskatchewan17]

I would consider a set of 17 inch racing harts if they were a bit wider and weighed a couple pounds less.

 

[LaraS]

I'd love to have them in 18s for a summer set... although in the 17x7 it makes for a great winter wheel, so I won't complain.

So that is what i bought! i love it but the vibrations at 2000 rpm are not for the feint of heart.

Vibes are pretty narly taking off. Once I'm rolling, it's pure sex though. No more engine bay knock and no more exhaust contacting the exhaust tunnel when I'm WOT. Hurray!

My stock mount was horrible. Funny enough, I forgot to take a picture of the other side of the mount. It was even worse. The part where the bolt goes through was not connected to the rubber anymore. I took it to Mazda and showed it to them. They were like "there's something else Mazda should probably recall."

Over the weekend I painted the front and rear emblems black metallic using a $5 can of Testors One-Coat Lacquer model paint. It almost matches body color, and I love the outcome! Pictures to come after a wash this upcoming weekend!

Thought you had it already. It adds bling under the hood compared to the dull Cobb filter.

link yo wtf...lol

Going to have to investigate a leak or something going on with the car, dashhawk logs show AFR close in the 13s at WOT.... Fuel pressure doesnt fall below 1650 so not sure what else the problem could be.

Just got the EGR valve replaced a few weeks ago, so might have to search for a leak from the dealer not tightening something... not sure.

Tinted Windows

Well, I just recently had the windows tined. I really don't know why I waited so long! LOL I've also upgraded the lights. Just a few small mods to start. I'm just getting my feet wet and learning to enjoy the Mazda all over again!

Man..i fail so hard. I paid for shipping when there is a AmsOil Distro site no more than 2 miles away from me. There goes 10 bucks.. haha(cryhard)
