What have you done to your MS3 today?

[ElMariachi]

Ordered a set of Dunlop direzza star specs....

I was just about to make a post here asking if anyone has tried them. Let me know what you think when you get them on!

 

[8.5MS3]

They kick ass

wow, i'd like to see a mod list sometime. you are working even faster than i am! how long you had your car?

I signed in blood on January 18th. I'm pretty obsessive when it comes to the import scene. I really don't have any other hobbies/vices so I pour my resources into this. I find this car a bit more challenging then my other builds because of the powertrain limitations/boom-factor.

I had a mod list going at one time in my signature but I couldn't keep track of it as I was adding/removing things by the day. I'll try to get something updated and accurate soon. Hit me up offline sometime and we'll chat.

Yeah...if you only have one expensive hobby you can go absolutely nuts! So you get to set the bar for those of us who come along a bit more slowly.

I told myself that I was going to go slow but I've been bit by the bug pretty bad. I typically move in bursts, I'll do a few things then stop for a while. Plus the parts for these cars are not terribly expensive. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the Mazda platform. I seriously need to edit my .sig it's UGLY lol. Will someone make me a cool signature graphic?

Send me a few high res images of your car... I'd be happy to make you a sig.

Awesome! I'll give you my first-born child. Wait, no kids for me. Just bigger turbo I'll PM you to get an email addy. I'll snap some shots today if I can borrow a DSLR from work.

Now there's a man who knows his priorities in life ^(2thumbs)

If you think a big turbo upgrade is expensive, calculate how much a kid would cost the first five years - the turbo sounds like a much less expensive, less stressful option

thought about taking the grids off and try to sell them, then i thought better of it for now. haha

A big turbo and a fully built engine is probably 1-2% the cost of a child. Albeit, just as stressful. (BOOM)

Sounds good!

 

[not yellow]

installed jbarone SSP, "chrome" turn signal bulbs, and fog overlays. painted the emblem last week...

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Super clean yellow. Looks great.

 

[mixylplik3]

^^^ What Saskatchewan said. I've never seen a white emblem on a white 'Speed like that before and it looks real slick.

looks good, but needs tire black ASAFP

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Nice, but I don't like those Kazera 5-stars, and the exhaust needs cleaning DESPERATELY.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

I think he's given up on the exhaust... Haha.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

That's a personal tidbit that I just cannot pass up. Back in my GTO days, I was the only one who was daily driving my car. Everyone else's cars were garaged and stored during winters. Yet.. every meet we'd go to, you could literally eat off my exhaust tips, and everyone else's were crusty and nasty.

When I met up with the local MS3 guys here, I did everyone a favor and gave each exhaust a nice polish.

-Heavy cleaning of outside and inside of exhaust tip with Eagle One Nevr-Dull.
-Apply Thick Coat of Turtle Wax Chrome Polish
-Allow dry time, then buff off with microfiber.

I've done it enough, all I have to do is wipe off the exhaust with a towel and it's clean. Whenever I get off my lazy ass to sell my stock CBE, that lucky sob will have the cleanest and nicest exhaust.
