lol naw its not cp-e. its a Mazda3mods fmic. lol i didnt notice that it was crooked until i looked at my own pics. maybe its the bumper lawl. its supposed to be centered but it looks like im gonna have to tweak it a little. i hate crooked intercoolers.
edit: actually comparing it to the stuff on the bumper, it might be the lighting or the angle. when i was taking the pic, the sun was angled towards the car in a way that would shadow a little of the intercooler piping. lol i dont know. its bugging me now. im gonna measure it in the morning.

now that i really look at it i think its just the slight angle that made me think that it was...
I guess i just really dont like the cp-e so much that i look for that asymmetry as soon as i see a FMIC, ... im pretty sure theres something wrong with me lol.
but yeah .. engine bay looks very clean.
oh yeah, wheres your hood btw? lol

haha same here. ever since the cp-e one came out i tend to look at the placement of the fmic more than i should lol.
thanks! i cleaned the bay like half a week before this pic for a car show i competed in.
the hood was in the back yard because i installed the ptp pump the night before this pic was taken. i took off the hood to let the heat escape quicker and it was blocking ALL my light from my garage lights so i couldnt see crap. the following day, i was testing out the pump and doing some breaking in and i was too lazy to put the hood back on and the hood is probably not gonna come off any more because it has no reason to so i took some pics. got a lot of looks and neck breaking from others driving with no hood!

lolWell congrats. MS3 can be a family car actually. Plenty of room for babies and nitrous bottles
Ok, so I'd never spray in one of these cars, but I just went with it!

Congrats man! DSP is a tough class. I know I'm excited about STR for the miata.
no, the black one is myms3, the mgm with the coilover install is doizoomi, mine is the mgm pic taken outside the shop after rolling off the dyno. hopefully he posts up the vid of my car doing a pull.

Got into contact with IAG performance today and it looks like ill be heading down in late February for my pro tune. Just have to worry about getting my defective AP dongle fixed and sent back from cobb and ensuring that there are no issues for the pre dyno inspection.

Ya it is a tough class but I prefer to avoid STU with the Subys and Evos. I still get killed at nationals but its a fun time trying.
Just finished wrapping my tails. Two layers of tint later and here we are.
My car's dirty and it's not the greatest picture. They are dark and match the car almost perfectly. And you can still see the blinkers and brake lights about 400ft away which will hopefully keep the law off my tails (no pun intended).

Installed some new chrome dipped turn signals (front and rear).
where did you get those? I've been searching

Drove her and left her outside while at school and got the infamous noises from the suspension when leaving school later because of the cold today..... When will summer get here!
Good ol' eBay... hahaha. Hey, I can't complain... they were cheap.
So i bit the bullet and pulled the rotas off in hopes of selling them to fund my new setup. In the interim, ive mounted my 03 eclipse wheels, so I can let the rotas sit until I sell them...Heres a few pics i snapped. I didnt realize my camera was in the ISO setting, sorry for the crappy pics..lol
BTW...these are going up for sale as soon as I get my new wheels installed if anyone needs a good winter wheel
